Candidate privacy notice
Last updated: date of publication
This notice explains how DF Animacija d.o.o., operating under the brand Skylark Entertainment, handles your personal data when you visit the Skylark Life website and when you apply to work with us in Croatia.
1. Who we are
Data controller: DF Animacija d.o.o.
Address: street, postcode, city, Croatia
OIB: OIB
Privacy questions: privacy email
Phone: phone
Skylark Entertainment’s Italian recruitment runs separately, with its own website and privacy notice. Applications sent through this website are handled by DF Animacija d.o.o. for work in Croatia and are not shared with the Italian recruitment team.
2. What data we collect
When you apply
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Identity | First name, last name, date of birth |
| Contact | Email, phone number, citizenship, country of residence, city |
| Photo | One photo you upload (required) |
| Application details | Preferred roles and destinations, availability dates, languages, experience, an optional CV or portfolio link |
| Recruitment notes | Interview notes, assessment of fit for the role, status of your application |
| Source | How you found us (for example a campaign link), so we know which channels work |
Please don’t send information we don’t need, such as health data, religious beliefs, political opinions or ID numbers. If we need ID documents later, for example to prepare an employment contract, we will ask for them separately at that stage.
When you browse the website
Basic technical data needed to deliver the site securely (IP address, browser type, pages requested), processed by our hosting provider. Confirm: no advertising or tracking cookies.
When you chat with Larky
Larky is an automated AI assistant, not a person. Your messages are sent to our AI provider, OpenAI, only to write Larky’s reply. We don’t save the conversation: it stays in your browser tab and disappears when you close it. Larky never sees your application or photo. Please don’t share personal details in the chat. Confirm OpenAI’s data retention settings and transfer safeguards.
3. Why we use your data
| Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|
| Reviewing your application, contacting you, organising interviews, deciding whether to offer you a job | Steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Using your photo to recognise you at interviews and to assess suitability for guest-facing and on-stage roles | Steps before a contract, Art. 6(1)(b), and our legitimate interest in a reliable selection process, Art. 6(1)(f) |
| Checking age eligibility and the extra protections for workers under 18 | Legal obligation under Croatian labour law, Art. 6(1)(c) |
| Keeping your application for future seasons (talent pool) | Your consent, Art. 6(1)(a). Optional, and you can withdraw it at any time |
| Protecting the site against spam and abuse; understanding which recruitment channels work | Legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) |
| Defending legal claims | Legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) |
No automated decisions. We don’t make hiring decisions automatically, and we never assess candidates’ appearance by automated means. A person reviews every application.
4. Applicants aged 16 and 17
You can apply from age 16. Croatian law gives extra protection to workers under 18, so we will:
- check your age from your date of birth;
- offer only roles and working hours permitted for minors (for example, no night work);
- ask for written consent from your parent or legal guardian before any employment begins, not during the online application.
Confirm the rule for applicants under 18 who are not Croatian citizens.
5. Who can see your data
- The DF Animacija d.o.o. recruitment team, only the people who need it for selection.
- Service providers who host and run our systems under contract and only on our instructions: Vercel Inc. (website hosting, transfer safeguards) and Supabase Inc. (candidate database, server region) and OpenAI (answers in the Larky chat; receives chat messages only).
- Partner resorts and hotels: confirm whether partner properties ever receive candidate profiles
- Public authorities when the law requires it.
We never sell your data.
6. How long we keep it
| Data | Retention |
|---|---|
| Application of a candidate who is not hired | 12 months after selection ends for the season you applied for, then deleted |
| Talent pool (only with your consent) | 24 months from your consent, or until you withdraw it |
| Candidate who is hired | Moved into your employee file and kept as employment and tax law requires |
| Technical server logs | up to 30 days |
7. Your rights
You have the right to:
- access the data we hold about you and get a copy;
- correct inaccurate data;
- ask us to delete it;
- restrict or object to certain processing, including processing based on legitimate interest;
- receive your data in a portable format;
- withdraw consent at any time, for example to the talent pool, without affecting earlier processing.
To use any of these rights, write to privacy email. We reply within one month.
If you believe we handle your data unlawfully, you can complain to the Croatian supervisory authority, Agencija za zaštitu osobnih podataka (AZOP), Selska cesta 136, 10000 Zagreb, azop.hr, or to the supervisory authority in your own EU country.
8. Security
Applications travel over an encrypted connection (HTTPS) and are stored in access-controlled systems. Photos are checked for type and size. Only authorised recruitment staff can see candidate data.
9. Changes
We may update this notice. The current version is always on this page, with the date of the last update.
