Privacy policy

This page sets out what data you leave in the request form, why, who receives it and what you can do with it. The site has no trackers, no advertising pixels and no third-party analytics.

In short

The main points

What to know before you submit the form

  • We ask for your name, phone number, your situation and how to reach you. We process them only with your consent.
  • Your request is kept in a private Google spreadsheet. The site administrator owns it, and brigade recruiters have access.
  • The data passes through foreign services (Google and Vercel), so it may end up outside Ukraine.
  • You can withdraw consent at any time.

What we collect

What we collect and why

Why this page exists

The law requires us to tell you about data processing в момент збору.

So we explain everything here, before you send the form. You can read the site without giving any data or consent.

Law “On Personal Data Protection”

Who processes your data

Your data is processed by the 160th Separate Mechanized Brigade. The law calls it the “data controller”.

There is no separate email or form for data requests yet. Write in a private message to the brigade’s official Telegram, not in the comments.

Official brigade channels

Why we collect data

The only purpose is to contact you about the service or vacancy you chose.

What data the request contains

What you enter yourself:

  • your name (a first name is enough);
  • your phone number;
  • your situation, for example “I serve, I want a transfer” or “I am returning from AWOL”;
  • how you prefer to be contacted: a call or a messenger;
  • your specialty or experience, if you choose to give it (optional).

What is added automatically:

  • the vacancy, if you came from a vacancy page;
  • tags that show which page or link you came from.

All of this is written to the Google spreadsheet. The site host, which the form passes through, sees this data in transit and technical request data, for example an IP address.

What we do not ask for

The form does not ask for a passport, tax number, address, health status, criminal record or location.

Do not enter them in the “specialty” field either: the recruiter will talk to you about everything that is needed.

On what basis we do this

We process your data only with your consent. It is the tick next to the “Contact me” button; without it the form is not sent.

What the law says: One of the legal grounds for processing personal data is the person’s consent. Consent to the processing of personal data is a voluntary expression of will by a person who has been informed of the stated purpose of processing.

Prefer not to leave data on the site? Write to the brigade’s official Telegram or call the hotline. The Ministry of Defence hotline for new contracts and for returning to military service is 1519. Calls are free from all operators’ numbers in Ukraine.

Who receives the data

The path of your request

Requests are kept in a private Google spreadsheet and pass through the Vercel host. Both services are foreign.

How a request travels

The form sends the data to the site’s server, and the server writes it as a row in a private Google spreadsheet. The recruiters see the new request there.

Our code does not write your name and phone number to server logs.

Who receives the data

  • Brigade recruiters: they read the request and contact you.
  • Google: the service that stores the spreadsheet with requests. Brigade recruiters, the site administrator and the site’s technical service account have access to it. The form uses that account to write data.
  • Vercel: the site host, whose server the form passes through.
  • The messenger you chose for the reply: the recruiter writes to you there, and its operator’s rules apply.

Does the data leave Ukraine

Yes. Google and Vercel are foreign services, so data may be processed and stored outside Ukraine.

What the law says: Personal data can also be passed to foreign recipients with the person’s unambiguous consent to such a transfer.

By ticking the consent box in the form you agree to such a transfer.

How long the data is kept

The request is kept in the private Google spreadsheet. Nothing deletes it automatically: it stays there until someone deletes it by hand.

The brigade has not yet set a separate retention period for requests, so we do not name one. The rule of the law applies: Personal data is kept in an identifiable form no longer than necessary for the lawful purposes for which it was collected.

If a period is set, we will add it here.

How the data is protected

The form works over a secure connection, and the technical keys are stored on the server, not on the page.

There is no absolute protection on the internet, so do not send in the form anything you are not ready to share.

Does the site track you

No. We do not add advertising pixels, counters or third-party analytics, and we set no cookies for tracking.

Only technical data stays in your browser: the language you chose (it is kept until you clear the site data) and source tags for the duration of the session, so that the form knows which page you came from.

Your rights

What you can do with your data

These rights are given to you by the law on personal data protection.

Know who processes your data and why

A person has the right to know the sources and location of their personal data, the purpose of processing, the location or residence of the data owner or processor, and to receive information about third parties to whom their data is passed, except in cases set by law.

What we collect, why and who receives it is on this page. Ask the brigade in Telegram about anything else.

Demand that data is changed or deleted

What is not covered here

What happens after the conversation with a recruiter

The documents needed for service are collected not through the site but under the military unit’s rules during enlistment.

This page does not describe them.

How it works

How to tell that it is really the brigade writing

After you submit the form a recruiter will call or write to you. You can check the official channels on a separate page.
