Other reasons BackerNews may share your personal information with a third party
BackerNews will share your personal data with third parties for the following reasons:
BackerNews is incorporated in Spain. We primarily store and process your personal data in the EU. Any data may be transferred from time to time to our offices or personnel, or to third parties, located throughout the world, and may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have laws of general applicability regulating the use and transfer of such data. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, by using any of the above, you voluntarily consent to the trans-border transfer and hosting of such information.
Some examples of reasons your data may be processed outside of the EEA include:

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we use best practice to ensure your data is encrypted to the standard required in the GDPR to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data as it is transmitted and stored.
We take precautions to protect the security of your information. We have physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to help safeguard, prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use your information. However, neither people nor security systems are foolproof, including encryption systems. In addition, people can commit intentional crimes, make mistakes or fail to follow policies. Therefore, while we use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If applicable law imposes any non-disclaimable duty to protect your personal information, you agree that intentional misconduct will be the standards used to measure our compliance with that duty.
BackerNews will not retain your personal information for longer than required.
We will keep your personal information:
For as long as required by law.
Until we no longer have a valid reason for keeping it.
Until you request us to stop using it.
We may keep just enough of your personal information to ensure that we comply with your requests not use your personal information or comply with your right to erasure. For example, we must keep your request to be erased even if it includes your personal data until such time as you are no longer our customer.
If you have questions about our Data Retention Policy, we can provide you a copy. Please contact: hello@backer.news.
If the personal information is necessary in order to supply services to you under a contract between you and BackerNews, then we will not enter into that contract or provide the services if you do not give us your personal information.
BackerNews will respect your legal rights to your data. Below are the rights that you have under law, and what BackerNews does to protect those rights:
