LeaderImpact Ireland is the Irish affiliate of LeaderImpact Global, a ministry of Power to Change (P2C). We operate under the “Local Door, Global House” strategy, connecting Irish leaders with a global network.

3. Data we collect
We collect and process the following categories of personal data:
- Identity Data: Name, professional title, company/organisation
- Contact Data: Email address, phone number
- Sign-up and contact data: Professional background, leadership experience, faith journey, reason for interest, consent choices, referral messages, and address-history aliases where duplicate contact records are combined
- Assessment, survey and reflection data: Leadership assessment responses and scores, quiz results, survey answers, Daily Path progress and reminder choices. Some answers may reveal religious or philosophical beliefs, so we treat them as sensitive in access and erasure handling.
- Event data: Invitations, RSVP choices, guest counts, guest contact details, accessibility or follow-up notes, reminder history and event-lead forms
- Communications data: Email addresses, delivery status, subject lines and copies of email bodies, including notes and engagement records
- Account Data: Username, profile information, authentication data and sessions. Passwords and one-time login links are not included in data exports.
- Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, cookies
- Community Data: Posts, comments, and interactions within our friends’ community
4. How we use your data
We use your personal data for the following purposes:
- Creating and managing your participant account
- Providing access to our platform and community features
- Delivering the Leadership Assessment and personalised insights
- Communicating about events, resources, and LeaderImpact activities
- Connecting you with the global LeaderImpact network
- Improving our services and user experience
- Complying with legal obligations
5. Legal basis for processing
We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:
- Consent: Where you have given explicit consent for processing (e.g., marketing communications)
- Contract: Where processing is necessary for participant services
- Legitimate Interests: For community building, event coordination, and service improvement
- Legal Obligation: Where required by law
6. Data sharing
We may share your personal data with:
- LeaderImpact Global: As part of our global network, certain profile information may be shared to facilitate connections with leaders in other cities
- Service Providers: Third-party services that support our platform (hosting, email, analytics)
- Legal Authorities: When required by law or to protect our rights
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
7. Data retention
We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected:
- Active Friends: Data retained for the duration of participation plus 3 years, subject to a valid erasure request and any legal obligation
- Inactive Accounts: Unlinked setup accounts that never set a password are eligible for reviewed deletion after 1 year. Member-linked accounts are not selected on this signal alone because we do not yet have a reliable inactivity date.
- Assessment Data: Eligible for reviewed deletion after 2 years or sooner when deletion is requested
- Marketing Consent: Until consent is withdrawn
Deletion is not performed by an unattended automatic job. A restricted administrator must first review a dry-run and explicitly approve the exact records proposed for deletion. Our operational audit retains only a minimised, non-content record that a request was handled.
8. Your rights
Under GDPR, you have the following rights:
- Access: Request a copy of your personal data
- Rectification: Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
- Erasure: Request deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”)
- Restriction: Limit how we process your data
- Portability: Receive your data in a portable format
- Objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interests
- Withdraw Consent: Withdraw previously given consent at any time
To exercise any of these rights, submit a Data Rights Request or contact us at info@leaderimpact.ie. We will respond within 30 days. A request sent from an email address alone is not treated as proof of identity: we verify identity before releasing, changing, or deleting personal data.
9. Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your experience on our website. These include:
- Essential Cookies: Required for the website to function (authentication, sessions)
- Preference Cookies: Remember your settings (theme, language)
- Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our site
You can manage cookie preferences through our cookie consent banner or your browser settings. See our Cookie Policy for details.
10. Data security

- Encryption of data in transit and at rest
- Secure authentication systems
- Regular security assessments
- Access controls and staff training
11. International transfers
As part of the global LeaderImpact network, your data may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). When this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting a notice on our website or contacting you directly.
