Quantum Europe briefing: privacy note

Demonstration site: this note is owner-reviewed for demonstration (28 October 2026) and is not a legal review. The data controller is the portal owner, Oscar Diez, who operates this demonstration in a personal capacity. The briefing is a pilot and is switched off on this demonstration site.

Purpose: send signed-in members who ask for it a personalised summary of public portal content, in the portal and, if they choose, by e-mail.
Legal basis: your consent, given separately on the opt-in form and recorded with its time and the wording version (newsletter-2026-10-22). You can withdraw it at any time.
Stored with your account: your choices (frequency, topics, technology areas, countries, e-mail yes or no), the consent times and wording version, the time of the last issue, the dates and ids of your issues, a random feed address and a random unsubscribe code. Nothing else.
Not stored: what you open, read or click. The e-mail is plain text with no images and no tracking pixel; links point straight to portal pages.
Your e-mail address is the one of your account. It is read only when an issue is sent and is passed to the portal’s outgoing mail service for that purpose only.
Giving or withdrawing consent is written to the portal’s audit log (account id, time and the purpose, never content), which keeps entries for 12 months.
Retention: until you unsubscribe or delete your account; the archive keeps your last 26 issues.
Withdrawal: the unsubscribe link in every e-mail, or Unsubscribe on the briefing page, deletes all of the above at once.
Issues contain only content that anyone can see on the public portal.

Questions about your data: use the feedback form when signed in, or the contact details on the About page.
