We employ reasonable procedures and security measures to prevent unauthorized access, loss, disclosure, or alteration of the personal data we collect. The data we process is stored in secure IT systems owned or managed by the Laba Group and in cloud services located in the European Union.

Storage and Data Transfers 

The Laba Group is an international group of companies and publishes job openings in various countries. As part of our recruitment process, data transfers may occur in the following situations:

• Our headquarters is in Ukraine, where recruitment-related data is processed to support hiring activities across different locations.
• If you are hired, your role may involve working with multiple Laba Group branches, meaning your information may be accessed by personnel in third countries to ensure smooth cooperation across our international operations.
• We rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as a safeguard to ensure an adequate level of data protection when transferring data outside the UK or EEA.

If you are uncomfortable with these international data transfers, we advise against applying for positions within our organization, as our operations require close collaboration among different Laba Group entities worldwide.
