When you visit our website, certain technical information may be processed, including:
- IP address and browser information.
- Device type and operating system.
- Website requests and basic interaction information.

3. How We Use Personal Information
We process personal information for the following purposes.

Candidate Relationships
To communicate with technical professionals about relevant opportunities and maintain appropriate professional relationships.
Employer Enquiries
To review vacancy requests received through our website, respond to employers and discuss potential recruitment support.
Business Communication
To maintain professional relationships, respond to enquiries, organise meetings and communicate about our services where permitted by applicable law.

Legal and Administrative Purposes

4. Legal Bases for Processing
Where the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, we process personal information only where an appropriate legal basis exists.
Depending on the circumstances, this may include:
Legitimate interests
For proportionate recruitment research, relevant professional communication, employer relationship management, business administration and website security, provided those interests are not overridden by individuals’ rights and freedoms.
Contractual necessity
Where processing is necessary to perform a contract with an individual or take steps requested by that individual before entering into a contract.
Consent
Where consent is required for a particular activity, such as certain optional communications or technologies.
Legal obligations
Where processing is necessary to comply with applicable legal requirements.
We assess the appropriate legal basis according to the purpose and circumstances of the processing.
Submitting an enquiry through our website does not automatically constitute consent to unrelated marketing activities.
5. Recruitment Research and Public Professional Information
SlavaWorks may identify relevant technical professionals through professional networks, publicly available professional profiles, company websites, industry publications, referrals and other legitimate professional sources.
These sources may include LinkedIn and publicly available information relating to engineering experience, employment history, qualifications and maritime projects.
We use this information to assess potential professional relevance to our recruitment activities.
A publicly available professional profile does not mean that an individual is available for employment, interested in relocation or willing to consider a new opportunity.
Where required by applicable data-protection law, we provide individuals with appropriate privacy information when their personal data has been obtained indirectly, including relevant information about its source and the purposes of processing.
Professionals may contact us to request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information, or to object to applicable processing activities.
6. Candidate Confidentiality and Employer Introductions
We understand that confidentiality is important to both candidates and employers.
SlavaWorks does not disclose an identifiable candidate’s CV, identity or detailed personal information to a prospective employer without appropriate permission or another valid legal basis.
Where relevant, we may initially discuss technical experience and professional backgrounds in an anonymised manner.
When a candidate agrees to an introduction, we may share information reasonably necessary for the recruitment process.
Employers receiving candidate information are responsible for handling it lawfully and in accordance with their own applicable data-protection obligations.
We do not sell candidates’ personal information.
7. Employer Enquiries and Website Forms
Our website includes a form titled Tell Us About Your Vacancy, available at:
The form collects:
- Your name.
- Your business email address.
- Your company name.
- Information about the position or technical experience you require.
We use this information to review your enquiry, contact you and assess whether SlavaWorks can assist with your recruitment requirements.
Submitting an enquiry does not automatically create a recruitment agreement or authorise unrelated marketing communication.
Form notifications are delivered through our website’s email configuration to the designated SlavaWorks business mailbox.
Technical service providers may process information where necessary to operate and protect the form.
8. Recruitment Systems and Service Providers
SlavaWorks uses selected digital systems and service providers to organise recruitment research, professional relationships, business communication and website operations.
These include:
Loxo
Our applicant tracking and recruitment relationship management system, used to organise relevant candidate, employer and recruitment records.
Google Drive and Google Sheets
Used for internal recruitment research, workflow management, business documentation and operational coordination.
WordPress and Kadence
Used to manage our website, its content and enquiry forms.
FastComet
Our website hosting provider, supplying the infrastructure required to operate and maintain slavaworks.com.
Cloudflare Turnstile
Used to help protect website forms against automated submissions, spam and malicious activity.
Email and communication services
Used to send, receive and organise business correspondence and recruitment enquiries.
We may also use AI-assisted tools for professional research, information organisation, internal analysis and communication preparation.
These tools support our work, but recruitment and candidate-introduction decisions remain subject to human review.
We do not make solely automated recruitment decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals.
Service providers may process information on our behalf or under their own legal responsibilities, depending on the service and the circumstances.
9. Website Hosting and International Data Processing
Our website, slavaworks.com, is hosted by FastComet on a server physically located in Frankfurt, Germany, within the European Union.
FastComet has also confirmed that automated daily backups of our website files and databases are stored on dedicated off-site backup infrastructure within the EU/Germany region.
SlavaWorks is legally registered in Serbia and works with employers and technical professionals across Europe, particularly in the Netherlands and Belgium.
While our website hosting infrastructure and its automated backups are located within the European Union, personal information may also be accessed or processed in other countries, including Serbia, as part of our recruitment and business operations.
Third-party services, including recruitment management, email, cloud-based tools and website security providers, may have their own data-processing locations and arrangements.
Where the GDPR applies to international transfers of personal information, appropriate transfer mechanisms and safeguards are required under applicable law.
Serbia does not currently benefit from a European Commission adequacy decision under the GDPR.
For further information about our data-processing arrangements, please contact [email protected].
Further information about our hosting provider is available in the FastComet Privacy Policy.
10. Cloudflare Turnstile and Website Security
We use Cloudflare Turnstile to help distinguish genuine website visitors from automated submissions.
Turnstile helps protect our enquiry forms against spam, automated misuse and other security threats.
In providing this service, Cloudflare may process technical signals relating to a visitor’s browser, device, connection and interaction with the security challenge.
This information is processed for website security and abuse prevention.
Further information is available in:
11. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential functionality, security and user preferences.
These can include technologies required for website operation, form protection and technical administration.
Where analytics, advertising or other non-essential technologies are used, we provide the information and consent choices required by applicable law.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings and, where available, our website’s cookie preferences.
Blocking certain essential technologies may affect website functionality.
12. How Long We Keep Personal Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal obligations.
Retention depends on the type of information and the circumstances.
Employer enquiries and business correspondence
Information is retained while relevant to an active enquiry, potential recruitment assignment or ongoing business relationship, followed by an appropriate review of continued necessity.
Candidate information
Professional information is retained while relevant to recruitment activities or an appropriate ongoing professional relationship, with periodic assessment of its relevance.
Recruitment assignments and contractual records
Records may be retained for periods required by applicable contractual, accounting or legal obligations.
Website and technical information
Technical information is retained according to legitimate operational, security and troubleshooting needs and relevant provider arrangements.
Where information is no longer necessary and there is no lawful reason for continued retention, we delete or anonymise it.
Our retention decisions take account of the purposes of processing, the nature of the information, applicable legal requirements and individuals’ rights.
13. How We Protect Personal Information
We aim to protect personal information against unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, loss or disclosure.
Our approach includes appropriate organisational and technical measures, taking account of the nature of the information and the risks involved.
Access to recruitment and business information is restricted according to operational needs.
We use website security measures, including Cloudflare Turnstile, to help protect against automated abuse.
No electronic system or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Where the GDPR applies, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data-protection supervisory authority.
15. Information About Other People
If you provide us with information about another person, such as a colleague, professional referral or potential candidate, please ensure that sharing this information is lawful and appropriate.
