When you submit or participate in an interview, we may collect information you provide, including:
Your first and last name.
Your email address and optional telephone number.
Your country of residence.
Your company or organisation name.
Your job title or professional role.
Your company website and professional profile links.
Your professional background and interview responses.
Your photograph, featured image, company logo and other materials you submit.
Communications relating to your interview, publication, corrections, support or other requests.
Your publication choices, marketing preferences and records of relevant agreements or consent.
If someone submits information on your behalf, we may also collect their name, email address and information concerning their authority to act for you.
We may create additional records needed to manage the process, including submission status, editorial and workflow information, publication records, agreement records, email-delivery information, order or delivery records, and relevant technical or security logs.
Our website, embedded forms and supporting service providers may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser or device information, request times, security information and error logs where necessary to provide and protect their services.
Where relevant to preparing, checking or updating professional content you have requested, we may also use information from your company website and publicly available professional sources.
If you separately consent to receiving a personalised offer, we may use relevant information from your interview and public professional information to prepare that offer.
Please do not intentionally include sensitive personal information, confidential information or unnecessary personal information about other people in your interview responses.
The purpose of a Leaders Perception interview is public publication.
A published interview may include:
Your name.
Job title or professional role.
Professional background.
Company or organisation information.
Interview answers and quotations.
Photograph or featured image.
Company logo.
Company website.
Professional links supplied for publication.
We do not normally publish your private submission email address, optional telephone number, country-of-residence field, private contact details of representatives, or agreement and consent records.
Information you intentionally include inside a public-facing interview response may appear in the published article.
Published interviews and images are publicly accessible worldwide. Search engines may index them, and third parties may link to, cache, quote, share or independently copy publicly available material.
We cannot guarantee removal of copies independently held by search engines or other third parties, although this does not affect any action we are legally required to take regarding information under our control.
Your original Leaders Perception interview is free. Publication does not depend on purchasing another service or agreeing to receive marketing.
We intend published interviews to remain available without a routine expiry date while Leaders Perception continues to operate and there is a lawful basis for maintaining the publication, subject to applicable rights and legitimate legal, editorial or technical reasons for removal.
The separate Interview Submission & Publication Agreement governs permissions and rights relating to submitted interview text, photographs, logos and other materials.
This Privacy Notice does not itself grant a copyright licence or constitute marketing consent.
We process personal information for the following purposes and on the following legal bases:
We use information necessary to receive, prepare, edit, format and publish the interview you request.
The main legal basis is performance of the Interview Submission & Publication Agreement and processing necessary to provide the requested publication.
We use information to communicate with you about your submission, request clarification, perform fact-checking, provide publication updates, handle corrections and respond to ordinary enquiries.
This processing is based on performance of the requested service and, where appropriate, our legitimate interests in accurately administering Leaders Perception interviews.
We may process technical, workflow and security information to operate the website, prevent misuse, diagnose errors and maintain reliable services.
This is based on our legitimate interests in maintaining a functioning and secure publishing service.
If you separately give marketing consent, we may use your submitted interview information and relevant professional information to prepare a personalised commercial offer or package preview and contact you electronically about it.
The legal basis for this activity is your separate, optional marketing consent.
If you later purchase an optional paid package, we may process information necessary to administer the order, confirm payment, prepare the purchased content or assets, publish agreed deliverables and provide delivery access.
This processing is based on performance of the applicable Package Terms or service agreement.
We may process limited information where necessary to comply with applicable legal obligations or to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.
Marketing is optional.
If you separately opt in, we may use information and materials from your interview, including your name, photograph, company information, logo, quotations and relevant professional information, to prepare a personalised offer or package preview.
We may then contact you electronically about that offer.
The personalised offer may include a private order or preview page containing material relating to you and your interview.
Submitting an interview or accepting the Interview Submission & Publication Agreement does not itself authorise marketing.
You may withdraw your marketing consent at any time by using the unsubscribe option provided in a relevant email or by contacting:
privacy@leaderspercpetion.com
After withdrawal, we will stop further consent-based marketing to you.
We may retain limited information necessary to ensure that your opt-out continues to be respected.
Withdrawal of marketing consent does not by itself remove or affect your free Leaders Perception interview.
Interview-related messages necessary to administer your publication are separate from marketing communications.
We use automation and AI-assisted tools in parts of our editorial and content-preparation workflow.
These tools may assist with activities such as:
Organising interview information.
Preparing or formatting content.
Extracting or organising themes and quotations.
Supporting editorial preparation.
Preparing authorised personalised materials.
We aim to provide only information reasonably necessary for the relevant task.
Private email addresses, telephone numbers, agreement evidence and unrelated internal information are not intentionally included in content-generation inputs where they are not needed.
Use of AI assistance does not make personal information anonymous.
We do not use solely automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on interview participants.
We use service providers to support Leaders Perception.
Depending on the relevant activity, these may include providers of:
Online forms and file uploads.
Database and workflow management.
Website hosting, security and content delivery.
Email communications and contact management.
AI-assisted content preparation.
Internal operational communications.
Agreement and consent recording.
Page and image rendering.
Payment processing.
Cloud storage and file delivery.
Not every provider receives your complete submission.
Information made available to providers is limited to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant service.
Providers processing information on our behalf are subject to applicable contractual and data-protection requirements.
Some providers may separately process limited information for their own security, account administration, fraud prevention or legal obligations.
If you purchase an optional paid service using PayPal, PayPal processes payment-related information under its own applicable privacy terms. Leaders Perception normally receives information necessary to identify and administer the transaction rather than your complete payment-card details.
Public readers receive information intentionally published as part of your interview.
Limited information may also be disclosed to professional advisers, service providers, courts, regulators or public authorities where reasonably necessary to comply with law, address disputes or protect legal rights.
We do not sell private interview contact lists.
You may contact privacy@leadersperception.com for further information about recipients of your personal information.
Some service providers or their subprocessors may process information in the European Economic Area, the United States or other countries.
Information may therefore be stored, accessed or processed outside your country of residence.
Where international transfers of personal information are subject to legal transfer requirements, we use an applicable lawful transfer basis or appropriate safeguards where required.
You may contact privacy@leadersperception.com for further information about relevant international-transfer safeguards.
We retain personal information according to the purpose for which it is needed.
Published material may be retained for as long as the interview remains published and there is a lawful basis for maintaining the publication.
There is no routine publication-expiry date.
We retain unpublished submissions while they are reasonably necessary to process, review, prepare or close the submission.
Information that is no longer required is deleted or minimised where appropriate.
Private contact information and correspondence are retained while reasonably necessary for interview administration, support, an active order, an unresolved enquiry, dispute or another legitimate purpose.
Information used for a consented personalised offer is retained while the offer process is active and afterwards only where another lawful purpose justifies continued retention.
Limited information may be retained to ensure that a request not to receive further marketing continues to be respected.
Agreement and consent records may be retained while the relevant permission or agreement is relied upon and afterwards for the period reasonably necessary to establish or defend related legal rights.
Order, transaction and payment-related records may be retained for periods required by applicable legal, tax, accounting, contractual or dispute-resolution requirements.
Technical logs, temporary records and backup copies are retained according to operational, security and recovery requirements and applicable provider retention cycles.
Deletion from backup systems may take longer than deletion from active systems.
Leaders Perception does not intentionally use advertising pixels or behavioural advertising technologies.
Our hosting, security, embedded-form and other technical service providers may use cookies, local storage, request information or similar technologies where necessary to provide, secure or operate their services.
If we introduce non-essential analytics, advertising or tracking technologies that require consent, we will update our disclosures and provide any legally required choices before using them.
Interview publication permission and marketing-email consent do not constitute consent to unrelated tracking technologies.
Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:
Request access to personal information concerning you.
Request correction of inaccurate information.
Request deletion of information where the legal conditions are met.
Request restriction of processing.
Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
Object to direct marketing at any time.
Request a portable copy of information where the conditions for data portability apply.
Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
Lodge a complaint with a competent data-protection authority.
To exercise a privacy right, contact:
privacy@leadersperception.com
We may request additional information where reasonably necessary to verify your identity or identify the relevant interview or processing activity
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Withdrawal of marketing consent does not by itself require removal of your interview because the interview and marketing activities are processed separately
Where another applicable data-protection law gives you additional rights or access to another supervisory authority, those rights remain available to you.
If you submit information on behalf of another person, you should ensure that you have appropriate authority to provide that information and that the person receives access to this Privacy Notice.
We may contact the interviewee directly where necessary to confirm authority, permissions or publication details.
A representative’s marketing preference does not automatically constitute the interviewee’s consent to receive marketing.
Where we receive personal information indirectly, we provide required privacy information to the affected person within the period required by applicable law unless a lawful exception applies.
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures appropriate to the nature of the information and the risks involved.
These measures may include:
Restricted account access.
Strong authentication.
Access controls.
Data minimisation.
Controlled sharing.
Appropriate security settings.
Use of service providers with relevant security and data-protection commitments.
No method of transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Leaders Perception may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.
Once you leave Leaders Perception, your interaction with another website or service is governed by that provider’s own terms and privacy practices.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites.
We may update this Privacy Notice when our processing activities, technology, services or legal obligations change.
The Last updated date at the top of this page identifies the current version.
Updating this Privacy Notice does not retrospectively create consent for a new purpose.
Where a new processing activity requires consent, we will obtain that consent separately before beginning the relevant consent-based processing.
