Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

This website (141.army) belongs to the 141st Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (hereinafter — “the Brigade”, “we”). The Brigade is both the owner and the processor of the personal data submitted through this site.

2. What data we collect

We only collect what you enter into the recruitment form yourself:

• full name;
• phone number;
• date of birth;
• desired position;
• how you heard about us;
• your status (mobilization, contract, transfer, AWOL);
• the fact and time of your consent.

If you arrived through an advert, information about the referral is attached to your application (campaign tag, campaign name, referring site, landing page, date of first visit) — see section 8. This describes the visit, not you personally.

In addition, the web server keeps standard technical logs (IP address, browser, time of request) — this is how any website works, and we do not use those logs to build profiles.

We do not collect passport data, addresses, medical records or any other documents through this website. If a recruiter needs anything else, they will ask you personally and explain why.

3. Why we need it

Solely to process your application: to contact you, to help you choose a track of service, to answer your questions and to guide you through enlistment. We do not use your data for advertising and we do not sell it to anyone.

4. Legal basis

Your consent, which you give by ticking the box in the form. Consent is voluntary — you may refuse it, and you may withdraw it at any time. Processing is carried out in accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On Personal Data Protection” No. 2297-VI.

5. Where the data goes

An application submitted through the form is delivered to:

• the Brigade’s recruitment mailbox recruiting@141.army;
• a backup mailbox of the recruitment officer (Gmail, Google LLC);
• a Google Sheets spreadsheet used by recruiters to keep track of applications (Google LLC).

This means your data is stored, among other places, on Google servers, including outside Ukraine. The website itself is hosted in Ukraine (adm.tools).

Access is limited to the Brigade’s recruitment personnel. We do not transfer the data to third parties, except where required by the law of Ukraine.

6. How long we keep it

Until you withdraw your consent. Once you ask us to, we delete your application from the spreadsheet and from the mailboxes.

7. Your rights

Under Article 8 of the Law of Ukraine “On Personal Data Protection” you have the right:

• to know what data about you we hold, where we obtained it and why we process it;
• to know to whom it is disclosed;
• to have it corrected;
• to have it deleted and to withdraw your consent;
• to object to processing;
• to lodge a complaint with the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights or with a court.

Write to recruiting@141.army — state your name and phone number so we can find your application. We will respond within 30 calendar days.

8. Cookies and analytics

The site sets two first-party cookies:

• ombr_lang — remembers whether you chose Ukrainian or English. Kept for one year.
• ombr_src — remembers which link first brought you to the site (campaign tag, campaign name, referring site, landing page, date). We use it to understand which adverts and channels actually bring people, so that we do not waste funds. Kept for 90 days. If you submit an application, this information is attached to it.

Neither contains your name, phone number or any other personal data, and neither is shared with third-party services — they are read only by this website. You can delete them in your browser settings at any time; the site will keep working.

We use Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited) for visit statistics. It sets two cookies — _ga and _ga_ZBRL3TZ6HH — with a random browser identifier, kept for up to 13 months. This shows us how many people visit the site, which pages they view, where they come from, which devices they use and their approximate region. Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses.

We also count the fact that an application was submitted and clicks on the phone number or Telegram link — without your name, phone number or any other form data. Statistics are kept for 14 months; sharing this data with Google for advertising or its own purposes is switched off.

You can opt out by blocking cookies in your browser settings or installing the Google Analytics Opt-out browser add-on. There is no Meta Pixel, advertising or any other tracking on this website.

9. Security

The site works over HTTPS. Access to the admin panel, the mailboxes and the spreadsheet is restricted to authorised personnel. That said, no online transmission can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure — please do not send information through the form that must not be disclosed.

10. Changes to this policy

If the way we handle data changes, we will update this page and change the date at the top.
