GDPR Compliance Statement

Last updated: May 11, 2026

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

While quantum-archive primarily operates in Australia, we recognize that some users may be residents of the European Economic Area (EEA). This page outlines our commitment to GDPR compliance for all users, regardless of location.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data under the following legal bases:

• Consent: When you provide explicit consent for us to process your information
• Contract: When processing is necessary to fulfill our service agreement with you
• Legal obligation: When we must comply with Australian law or government requirements
• Legitimate interests: When processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, balanced against your rights

Your GDPR Rights

If you are an EEA resident, you have the following rights:

Right to Access

You can request a copy of all personal data we hold about you.

Right to Rectification

You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.

Right to Erasure

You can request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention requirements.

Right to Restrict Processing

You can request that we limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.

Right to Data Portability

You can request your data in a structured, machine-readable format to transfer to another service provider.

Right to Object

You can object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

Rights Related to Automated Decision Making

You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that significantly affects you. We do not engage in automated decision-making.

Data Transfers

As an Australian-based company, your data is primarily stored and processed in Australia. If we transfer data outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place through:

• Standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission
• Adequacy decisions (Australia is working toward adequacy status)
• Explicit consent where required
