Users of the BlikeU app are covered by the app's own privacy policy, which does regulate special-category data under art. 9 GDPR.
3.3 Who has access to your data
- Payment providers, when you contribute to the campaign: Stripe, PayPal and Revolut. Each processes your data as an independent controller under its own privacy policy, which you accept on its payment page.
- Processors providing services to Bright Like U, S.L.: Netlify (web hosting), Google (Google Workspace for corporate e-mail and Google Fonts for this site's typefaces) and our accounting and tax advisers, who access contribution receipts for the company's bookkeeping.
- Public authorities, where a legal obligation so requires (for example, the Spanish Tax Agency).
We do not sell or pass on data to third parties for commercial purposes.
3.4 International transfers
Some of these providers (Netlify, Google, Stripe, PayPal) are established in, or process data in, the United States. Transfers rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where the provider is certified and, otherwise, on the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission (art. 46 GDPR). When the typefaces are loaded from Google Fonts, your browser sends your IP address to Google; if you prefer to avoid this, you can block external fonts in your browser and the site will still work.
