If you run a roofer in Leitrim, you're handling personal data every single day — from customer names, addresses, and eircodes to phone numbers and email addresses. With over 1,900 SMEs in the county and the Data Protection Commission actively issuing fines, GDPR compliance isn't something you can afford to ignore.
Leitrim is Ireland's least-populated county but has carved out niches in organic farming, artisan food, and creative industries. Carrick-on-Shannon is a popular destination for river cruising and hen/stag tourism. Remote working initiatives and affordable property have attracted a new wave of entrepreneurs and digital workers to the county. For roofers operating in and around Carrick-on-Shannon, the risks are concrete: handling customer insurance claim details and policy numbers without adequate security measures is one of the most common triggers for DPC investigations in this sector.
This guide breaks down exactly what your business needs to do — and how ComplianceKit.ie can get you there in hours, not weeks.
Yes. Every roofer in Leitrim that collects or processes personal data must comply with GDPR under the Irish Data Protection Act 2018. This includes customer records, payment details, and staff information. The Data Protection Commission can impose fines of up to €20 million for non-compliance.

REQUIRED DOCUMENTS
Every Roofer in Ireland needs these documents to demonstrate GDPR compliance. ComplianceKit generates all 8 policy types with a living compliance score that tracks your progress.
STEP BY STEP
Provide a privacy notice to all customers before commencing work, including specific mention of any insurance data you will process and any drone surveys you will conduct.
Register with the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) for drone use and comply with both aviation and GDPR rules when capturing aerial images of properties.
Store insurance claim details, policy numbers, and loss assessor correspondence in a secure, encrypted system with limited access.
Set clear retention periods for drone footage and roof survey photographs — delete them once the job and any warranty or claims period has ended.
Put data processing agreements in place with loss assessors, material suppliers, and any other third parties who receive customer data.
For emergency call-outs where data is collected quickly, follow up within a reasonable timeframe with a proper privacy notice and ensure the data is entered into your secure system.
COMMON PITFALLS
Using drones for roof surveys without considering that the footage may capture neighbours' properties and gardens, which is a GDPR issue as well as an IAA matter.
Storing customer insurance policy numbers and claim details in unsecured emails or paper files that any staff member can access.
Collecting customer data during an emergency storm call-out and never providing them with a privacy notice explaining how their data is used.
Keeping roof survey reports and photographs for years after the job is done without any data retention schedule.
