Purpose

User data

Thank you for visiting the websites of the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy. The protection and security of your data is of the utmost importance to us. Therefore, we would like to take the opportunity to inform you about which of your personal data are collected, in particular, when you visit our websites and for which purposes these data are used. Please note that this Data Protection Declaration only applies to the general data processing activities of the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academya. The QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy informs the data subjects about any further data processing separately, possibly referring to this general General Data Protection Declaration. Since legislative changes or changes to our internal processes may require an adjustment of this Data Protection Declaration, we ask you to consult it on a regular basis. 

§ 1 Controller and scope

The controller according to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other national data protection acts of member states as well as other statutory data protection regulations is:

Quantum Technology Laboratories GmbH
Clemens-Holzmeister Strasse 6/6
1100 Wien
E-mail: office@qurios.academy
Website: qurios.academy

This Data Protection Declaration applies to all websites of the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy available under the domain qurios.academy as well as the associated subdomains (henceforth “our websites” or “web presence”). In addition, it applies to the data processing activities specified below. From a functional perspective, the Data Protection Declaration applies to all organisational units of the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy. Information about data protection when using cloud services is provided in the UQURIOS Quantum Technologies Academies data protection declaration for cloud services (in German), available at: Data Protection Declaration of the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy – cloud services and other IT applications (PDF, in German)

§ 2 What are personal data?

Personal data is individual information concerning personal or material details of an identified or identifiable natural person (data subject). These include, for example, information, such as your name, address, telephone number, date of birth and e-mail address. Information that cannot be linked to your person (or only involving a disproportionate effort), such as anonymised information, is not considered personal data.

§ 3 General information about data processing

a) Scope

As a general principle, we collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent that is necessary for carrying out the relevant data processing activity. We use your personal data to provide information, products and desired services offered by the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy, to answer your questions, to fulfill our business purpose and statutory obligations, as well as to operate and improve our websites and applications.

We collect and use personal data of our users only based on a relevant legal foundation in accordance with the GDPR, e.g. only if the individual user has given their consent. Further details regarding the individual consents granted are specified in section 6 of this Data Protection Declaration under the respective processing activity.

Your personal data will not be used for any other purpose. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties or used, for example, for advertising purposes without your consent, except in the cases specified below, and unless we are required by law to disclose the data.

b) Legal basis

Where processing is subject to the data subject's consent to the processing of their personal data, the legal basis for the processing is article 6, para. 1, sub-para. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If the processing of personal data is necessary to perform a contract to which the data subject is a party, article 6, para. 1, sub-para. b of the GDPR provides the legal basis. This also applies to processing activities that are necessary to take necessary steps prior to entering into a contact. Where processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy is subject, article 6, para. 1, sub-para. c of the GDPR provides the legal basis.

If the processing of personal data is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, article 6, para. 1, sub-para. d of the GDPR provides the legal basis. If the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, article 6, para. 1, sub-para. f of the GDPR provides the legal basis for the processing activity.

c) Erasure of data and storage period

Personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of the processing activity has been fulfilled. Furthermore, data may also be stored if specified by the European or national legislative authority in Union law regulations, laws, or other regulations to which the controller is subject. Personal data will also be erased or blocked when a storage period stipulated by one of the norms listed above expires, unless it is necessary to further store the data for the purpose of concluding or executing a contract.

d) Transfer of data to third countries

We do not transfer any personal data to third countries unless we expressly inform you about this. In this case, the transfer of personal data to third countries takes place in accordance with articles 45 and 46 of the GDPR. In the absence of an adequacy decision by the European Commission, standard protection clauses adopted in accordance with article 46 of the GDPR guarantee an adequate level of protection. In individual cases, we will also obtain your consent for the transfer of personal data to third countries. In this case, it is our obligation to inform you that the level of data protection in third countries might not be comparable to that in the European Union. This poses a risk to your personal data since they may be accessed, in particular, by public authorities which are not subject to the legal protection mechanisms applicable within the European Union.

§ 4 Processing of event photographs

We organise different events, such as lectures, conferences and similar events. During these events, we may take photographs or make video recordings of the event participants. We use and process these photographs/videos to present the event, offline and/or online (e.g. in magazines, on social media or on websites).

The legal basis for the data processing specified above is determined in article 6, para. 1, sub-para. f of the GDPR and section 12, para. 2, sub-para. 4 of the Austrian Data Protection Act (Datenschutzgesetz, DSG). The processing of the data specified above is necessary for the presentation of the events. Therefore, it serves the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy. Where necessary, we will obtain your consent to the processing of your photographs (article 6, para. 1, sub-para. 1 of the GDPR).

The QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy erases photographs and videos as soon as they are no longer required for a legitimate interest to present the relevant event. This may be the case, for example, if the Academy does not have to advertise the event any longer because there will be no follow-up event.

§ 5 Individual processing activities

If you wish to use services provided by us, such as our course offers, newsletter subscriptions etc., you have to provide further data. For further details see the description of specific data processing activities below. In particular, personal data are used as follows:

a) Registration/user account

We offer our users the possibility to register for the Moodle learning management system (Moodle LMS) on our websites. To register for the Moodle LMS, users have to provide personal data. After users have entered the required data in an input mask, the data are transferred to and stored by provider hosting the LMS for the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy.

The legal basis for the processing of these personal data of employees of the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy as well as of persons authorised by employees of the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy is article 6, para. 1, sub-para. b of the GDPR. For data provided voluntarily in the course of registration, article 6, para. 1, sub-para. a of the GDPR provides the legal basis.

User registration is a prerequisite for making available certain contents and services of the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy. Due to the continuously changing range of contents and services offered, it is not possible to provide an exhaustive list.

If the relevant data are necessary for the performance of a contract or to take necessary steps prior to entering into a contract, early erasure of these data is only possible if no contractual or statutory obligations prohibit it.

§ 6 Use of cookies

We use so-called cookies. Cookies are small text files that are sent from our web server to your browser when you visit our websites. Your browser holds these cookies available on your computer for later retrieval. Cookies contain a characteristic string of characters that allows your browser to be uniquely identified when the website is accessed again. 

The collected usage data do not allow for any conclusions regarding the user (except those cookies that serve the recording of data in connection with an active log-in). All usage data are collected in anonymised form; they will not be linked to your personal data and will be erased immediately after the end of the statistical analysis. All cookies are erased after termination of the session, i.e. as soon as you end your browser session.

Furthermore, on our websites we use cookies which allow for an analysis of our users’ surfing behaviour. This way, the following data may be transferred:

  • Search terms entered
  • Frequency of page views
  • Use of website features

The legal basis for the processing of data, subject to the user’s consent, is article 6, para. 1, sub-para. a of the GDPR as specified in the cookie banner as well as the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy's legitimate interest in accordance with article 6, para. 1, sub-para. f of the GDPR, unless these are cookies necessary for the operation of the website.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data when using technically necessary cookies is article 6, para. 1, sub-para. f of the GDPR.

In particular, the used cookies serve the purpose of analysing the frequency of use and the number of visitors to our websites. Furthermore, they are used to continue to identify your computer during a visit on our website when surfing from one page to the next, and to establish the end of your visit. This allows us to determine which sections of our websites and which other websites our users visited.

The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for their users. Some features of our web presence cannot be provided without the use of cookies. To provide these features, it is imperative to recognise your browser even when you have switched to a different page.

The following applications require cookies:

  • Shopping cart
  • Transferring language settings
  • Remembering search terms

The user data collected by technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles.

§ 7 Integration of social media plug-ins

On our websites, we integrate social plug-ins of the following social networks: Facebook (Meta Platforms, Inc., One Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 9402, USA), Youtube (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA), Instagram (Meta Platforms, Inc., One Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 9402, USA), X (X Inc., 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, California 94103, USA), Xing (New Work SE, Am Strandkai 1, 20457 Hamburg, Deutschland), LinkedIn (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland), Vimeo (Vimeo Inc., New York, NY HQ, United States, 555 W 18th St) and flickr (Oath Inc., 22000 AOL Way, Dulles, VA 20166). It is possible that these plug-ins also collect personal data of the visitors of our websites, transfer them to the respective service and link them to the respective service of the visitor.

We do not collect any personal data via the social plug-ins and their use. To prevent the user’s data from being transferred to service providers in the US without the user's knowledge, we have implemented the so-called Shariff solution on our websites. Therefore, the relevant social plug-ins on our websites are initially only embedded as graphics. These graphics contain links to the websites of the corresponding plug-in providers. Only by clicking these graphics, you will be redirected to the service of the relevant provider. This solution guarantees that personal data are not automatically transferred to the respective social plug-in provider when you visit our websites. By clicking one of the social plug-in graphics, data may be transferred to and stored by the corresponding service provider. If you do not click any of the graphics, no data is transferred between you and the respective provider of the social plug-in. For further information about the Shariff solution, see the following website (in German): heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mitDatenschutz-2467514.html 

After clicking a social plug-in, the corresponding service provider receives the information that you visited the relevant page of our internet presence. Please note that for this to happen, you do not need a user account with the respective service, nor do you have to be logged in there. However, if you already have a user account with the respective service provider and you are already logged in to this account when visiting our website, the data collected by the social plug-in will be linked directly to your account. If you would like to block the service providers from linking your account to the data collected by the social plug-in, you must log out on the relevant user account before clicking one of the social plug-ins.

Please note that it is beyond the scope of our influence whether and to what extent the respective service provider collects personal data. We are not aware of the extent, purpose and storage periods of the corresponding data collection. However, please note that it must be assumed that social plug-ins serve to use and record, at least, the IP address and device-related information. Furthermore, it is possible that the respective service providers use cookies.

For information about the extent and purpose of data collection by the respective service as well as the further processing and use of your data, please refer to the privacy notices directly on the website of the corresponding service. There, you will also find further information about your rights as a data subject and configuration options for safeguarding your privacy.

a) Meta Platforms, Inc., One Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 9402, USA

b) Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, US

c) X Inc., 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, California 94103, USA

d) Oath Inc., 70 Broadway 4th, 5th, 6th and 9th Floor New York, NY 10003, USA

The legal basis for the processing of data subject to the user’s consent is article 6, para. 1, sub-para. a of the GDPR as specified in the cookie banner as well as the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy’s legitimate interest in accordance with article 6, para. 1, sub-para. f of the GDPR.

If you do not want Facebook to link the data collected via our web presence directly to your Facebook profile, you must log out of Facebook before you visit our website. Alternatively, you can also block the Facebook plug-in from loading altogether by means of add-ons for your browser. For example,

If you do not want Google or X to link the data collected via our web presence directly to your YouTube (Google) or X profile, you must log out of YouTube (Google) or X before you visit our website. Alternatively, you can also block the Google/X plug-in from loading altogether by means of add-ons for your browser; for example, using the script blocker NoScript (noscript.net). 


§ 8 Security measures for protecting data stored by the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy

We commit ourselves to protecting your privacy and treating your personal data strictly confidential. To prevent manipulation, loss, or abuse of your personal data stored by us, we have implemented extensive technical and organisational security measures which are reviewed on a regular basis and updated in accordance with technological advances. These security measures include, among other things, the use of recognised encryption methods (TLS). However, please note that due to the nature of the Internet, other persons or institutions outside our area of responsibility may not adhere to the rules of data protection and the security measures specified above. In particular, data that are revealed without encryption – for example, data transferred via e-mail – may be accessed by third parties. We have no technical influence on this. It is the user’s responsibility to protect the data they provide against misuse by means of encryption or other measures.

§ 9 Hyperlinks to third-party websites

On our websites, we place so-called hyperlinks to websites of other providers. Activating these hyperlinks will redirect you from one of our websites directly to the website(s) of the other provider. For example, you can recognise this by the change of the URL. Since it is beyond our scope of influence whether third parties adhere to the data protection regulations, we cannot assume any responsibility for the confidential handling of your data on the websites of third parties. For information about the handling of your personal data by these companies, please refer directly to the respective companies’ websites.

§ 10 Right to object

Regarding the processing of your personal data based on the legitimate interest of the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy in accordance with article 6, para. 1, sub-para. f of the GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation and/or to object against the use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In case of direct marketing, you have a general right to object which we will enforce without you having to specify a particular situation. Please contact us at dsba@univie.ac.at or at the e-mail address specified for the relevant processing activity.

§ 11 Your rights as a data subject

The GDPR specifies the following rights for data subjects regarding the processing of personal data:

  • In accordance with article 15 of the GDPR, you have the right to obtain information from us about the personal data we are processing. In particular, you have the right to obtain information about the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned, the categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, the existence of the right to request the rectification or erasure of your personal data or restriction of processing your data or to object to such processing, the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, the source of personal data collected about but not from you, the transfer of your data to third countries or international organisations, as well as about the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved.
  • In accordance with article 16 of the GDPR, you have the right to request from us the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and to have incomplete personal data completed. 
  • • In accordance with article 17 of the GDPR, you have the right to request from us the erasure of personal data concerning you, unless the processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
  • In accordance with article 18 of the GDPR, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of personal data concerning you, if you contest the accuracy of the personal data, if the processing is unlawful, if the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy no longer needs the personal data, and if you oppose the erasure of the personal data because they are required for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Your right pursuant to article 18 of the GDPR also applies if you object to the processing in accordance with article 21 of the GDPR.
  • In accordance with article 20 of the GDPR, you have the right to receive the personal data which you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit those data to another controller
  • In accordance with article 7, para. 3 of the GDPR, you have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your data at any time. Consequently, the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy may no longer continue the data processing based on this consent in future.
  • In accordance with article 77 of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In general, you can lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in your habitual residence, your place of work, or our registered place of business.

§ 2 What are personal data?

Personal data is individual information concerning personal or material details of an identified or identifiable natural person (data subject). These include, for example, information, such as your name, address, telephone number, date of birth and e-mail address. Information that cannot be linked to your person (or only involving a disproportionate effort), such as anonymised information, is not considered personal data.

§ 3 General information about data processing

a) Scope

As a general principle, we collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent that is necessary for carrying out the relevant data processing activity. We use your personal data to provide information, products and desired services offered by the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy, to answer your questions, to fulfill our business purpose and statutory obligations, as well as to operate and improve our websites and applications.

We collect and use personal data of our users only based on a relevant legal foundation in accordance with the GDPR, e.g. only if the individual user has given their consent. Further details regarding the individual consents granted are specified in section 6 of this Data Protection Declaration under the respective processing activity.

Your personal data will not be used for any other purpose. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties or used, for example, for advertising purposes without your consent, except in the cases specified below, and unless we are required by law to disclose the data.

b) Legal basis

Where processing is subject to the data subject's consent to the processing of their personal data, the legal basis for the processing is article 6, para. 1, sub-para. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If the processing of personal data is necessary to perform a contract to which the data subject is a party, article 6, para. 1, sub-para. b of the GDPR provides the legal basis. This also applies to processing activities that are necessary to take necessary steps prior to entering into a contact. Where processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy is subject, article 6, para. 1, sub-para. c of the GDPR provides the legal basis.

If the processing of personal data is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, article 6, para. 1, sub-para. d of the GDPR provides the legal basis. If the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, article 6, para. 1, sub-para. f of the GDPR provides the legal basis for the processing activity.

c) Erasure of data and storage period

Personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of the processing activity has been fulfilled. Furthermore, data may also be stored if specified by the European or national legislative authority in Union law regulations, laws, or other regulations to which the controller is subject. Personal data will also be erased or blocked when a storage period stipulated by one of the norms listed above expires, unless it is necessary to further store the data for the purpose of concluding or executing a contract.

d) Transfer of data to third countries

We do not transfer any personal data to third countries unless we expressly inform you about this. In this case, the transfer of personal data to third countries takes place in accordance with articles 45 and 46 of the GDPR. In the absence of an adequacy decision by the European Commission, standard protection clauses adopted in accordance with article 46 of the GDPR guarantee an adequate level of protection. In individual cases, we will also obtain your consent for the transfer of personal data to third countries. In this case, it is our obligation to inform you that the level of data protection in third countries might not be comparable to that in the European Union. This poses a risk to your personal data since they may be accessed, in particular, by public authorities which are not subject to the legal protection mechanisms applicable within the European Union.

§ 4 Processing of event photographs

We organise different events, such as lectures, conferences and similar events. During these events, we may take photographs or make video recordings of the event participants. We use and process these photographs/videos to present the event, offline and/or online (e.g. in magazines, on social media or on websites).

The legal basis for the data processing specified above is determined in article 6, para. 1, sub-para. f of the GDPR and section 12, para. 2, sub-para. 4 of the Austrian Data Protection Act (Datenschutzgesetz, DSG). The processing of the data specified above is necessary for the presentation of the events. Therefore, it serves the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy. Where necessary, we will obtain your consent to the processing of your photographs (article 6, para. 1, sub-para. 1 of the GDPR).

The QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy erases photographs and videos as soon as they are no longer required for a legitimate interest to present the relevant event. This may be the case, for example, if the Academy does not have to advertise the event any longer because there will be no follow-up event.

  • Search terms entered
  • Frequency of page views
  • Use of website features

The legal basis for the processing of data, subject to the user’s consent, is article 6, para. 1, sub-para. a of the GDPR as specified in the cookie banner as well as the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy's legitimate interest in accordance with article 6, para. 1, sub-para. f of the GDPR, unless these are cookies necessary for the operation of the website.

§ 7 Integration of social media plug-ins

On our websites, we integrate social plug-ins of the following social networks: Facebook (Meta Platforms, Inc., One Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 9402, USA), Youtube (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA), Instagram (Meta Platforms, Inc., One Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 9402, USA), X (X Inc., 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, California 94103, USA), Xing (New Work SE, Am Strandkai 1, 20457 Hamburg, Deutschland), LinkedIn (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland), Vimeo (Vimeo Inc., New York, NY HQ, United States, 555 W 18th St) and flickr (Oath Inc., 22000 AOL Way, Dulles, VA 20166). It is possible that these plug-ins also collect personal data of the visitors of our websites, transfer them to the respective service and link them to the respective service of the visitor.

We do not collect any personal data via the social plug-ins and their use. To prevent the user’s data from being transferred to service providers in the US without the user's knowledge, we have implemented the so-called Shariff solution on our websites. Therefore, the relevant social plug-ins on our websites are initially only embedded as graphics. These graphics contain links to the websites of the corresponding plug-in providers. Only by clicking these graphics, you will be redirected to the service of the relevant provider. This solution guarantees that personal data are not automatically transferred to the respective social plug-in provider when you visit our websites. By clicking one of the social plug-in graphics, data may be transferred to and stored by the corresponding service provider. If you do not click any of the graphics, no data is transferred between you and the respective provider of the social plug-in. For further information about the Shariff solution, see the following website (in German): heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mitDatenschutz-2467514.html 

After clicking a social plug-in, the corresponding service provider receives the information that you visited the relevant page of our internet presence. Please note that for this to happen, you do not need a user account with the respective service, nor do you have to be logged in there. However, if you already have a user account with the respective service provider and you are already logged in to this account when visiting our website, the data collected by the social plug-in will be linked directly to your account. If you would like to block the service providers from linking your account to the data collected by the social plug-in, you must log out on the relevant user account before clicking one of the social plug-ins.

Please note that it is beyond the scope of our influence whether and to what extent the respective service provider collects personal data. We are not aware of the extent, purpose and storage periods of the corresponding data collection. However, please note that it must be assumed that social plug-ins serve to use and record, at least, the IP address and device-related information. Furthermore, it is possible that the respective service providers use cookies.

For information about the extent and purpose of data collection by the respective service as well as the further processing and use of your data, please refer to the privacy notices directly on the website of the corresponding service. There, you will also find further information about your rights as a data subject and configuration options for safeguarding your privacy.

§ 8 Security measures for protecting data stored by the QURIOS Quantum Technologies Academy

We commit ourselves to protecting your privacy and treating your personal data strictly confidential. To prevent manipulation, loss, or abuse of your personal data stored by us, we have implemented extensive technical and organisational security measures which are reviewed on a regular basis and updated in accordance with technological advances. These security measures include, among other things, the use of recognised encryption methods (TLS). However, please note that due to the nature of the Internet, other persons or institutions outside our area of responsibility may not adhere to the rules of data protection and the security measures specified above. In particular, data that are revealed without encryption – for example, data transferred via e-mail – may be accessed by third parties. We have no technical influence on this. It is the user’s responsibility to protect the data they provide against misuse by means of encryption or other measures.

§ 9 Hyperlinks to third-party websites

On our websites, we place so-called hyperlinks to websites of other providers. Activating these hyperlinks will redirect you from one of our websites directly to the website(s) of the other provider. For example, you can recognise this by the change of the URL. Since it is beyond our scope of influence whether third parties adhere to the data protection regulations, we cannot assume any responsibility for the confidential handling of your data on the websites of third parties. For information about the handling of your personal data by these companies, please refer directly to the respective companies’ websites.
