This privacy policy applies to all information collected through our website and/or any related services, sales, marketing or events (we refer to them collectively in this privacy policy as the “Sites“). This Privacy Policy covers how we treat Personal Data that we gather when you access or use our Site. “Personal Data” means any information that identifies or relates to a particular individual and also includes information referred to as “personally identifiable information” or “personal information” under applicable data privacy laws, rules or regulations. This Privacy Policy does not cover the practices of companies we don’t own or control or people we don’t manage.
Please read this privacy policy carefully as it will help you make informed decisions about sharing your personal information with us.
In Short: We collect personal information that you provide to us such as first and last name, address, contact information (such as email or phone number and other similar contact data), passwords, password hints, and similar security information used for authentication and account access.
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when expressing an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and services, when participating in activities on the Sites or otherwise contacting us.
The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the Sites, the choices you make and the products and features you use.
We do not need special categories of personal information (also known as "sensitive personal information or data"), as defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), to provide the Services. We avoid collecting sensitive personal data from you through the Services or otherwise. Unless QuEra Computing specifically requests it, please do not provide sensitive personal data to us. If you choose to provide us with unsolicited sensitive personal data, we will process it only as necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. In the rare circumstances in which we do seek to collect sensitive personal data, we will do so in accordance with data protection laws and/or ask for your consent.

Cookies are small pieces of data – usually text files – placed on your computer, tablet, phone or similar device when you use that device to access our Site. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain (internet location) from which the cookie originated, the "lifetime" of the cookie (i.e., when it expires) and a randomly generated unique number or similar identifier. A cookie also may contain information about your computer, such as user settings, browsing history and activities conducted while using the Services.
Cookies set by QuEra Computing are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by other parties are called "third-party cookies".

Cookies also are typically categorized as "session" cookies or "persistent" cookies. Session cookies are erased when your web browser is closed.

Persistent cookies store your preferences and other information for your current and future visits – they are still stored in your browser when you reopen your browser. For example, we may use persistent cookies to record your choice of language and country location.
We also use other types of data collection technology, such as web beacons (also called a pixel tag or clear GIF). A web beacon is a piece of computer code that enables us to monitor user activity and website traffic.
