Disclaimer
The EUKR ASBL (Belgium, BCE 1016370651) maintains this website to enhance public access to information about project and concept Quantum of Quanta (QoQ).

Introduction
QoQ as the part of EUKR is committed to the protection of your personal data and respects your privacy on all its websites on the eukr.be, eukr.eu and quantumofquanta.org domains.
Quantum of Quanta (QoQ) is a project established, maintained and administered by EUKR ASBL. The quantumofquanta.org website forms part of the websites and services managed by EUKR ASBL and is subject to the same general privacy framework.
This Privacy Policy is governed by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR) and applicable Belgian data-protection law, including the Belgian Act of 30 July 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data.
This Privacy Policy covers all websites managed by EUKR ASBL. Most pages can be browsed without actively providing personal data. Where a specific function or service requires personal data, additional information will be provided on the relevant page or in a specific privacy notice where necessary.
In certain cases though, your personal data may be required for the provision of an e-service. When personal data is required for that purpose, you can find more detailed information on that in a specific privacy statement linked to the website. You will find which service you should contact in that specific privacy statement.
EUKR ASBL acts as the data controller for processing carried out through these websites, unless a specific privacy notice identifies another controller. The competent supervisory authority is the Belgian Data Protection Authority.

Website services
EUKR websites primarily provide information, project materials, communication channels and links to external services. Where a specific online function collects personal data directly, additional information required under applicable data-protection law will be provided on the relevant page or in a specific privacy notice where necessary.

When you contact EUKR ASBL by email or through another communication channel, we process the personal data you provide in order to respond to your request and manage the related correspondence. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries and managing our communications — and, where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. We retain the data only for as long as reasonably necessary for these purposes or for any longer period required by applicable law.

EUKR ASBL processes this information to administer and account for the support received, reconcile transactions, comply with applicable accounting and legal obligations, prevent fraud and handle related correspondence.
The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for EUKR ASBL’s legitimate interests in administering its activities, maintaining accurate records, preventing fraud and responding to supporters.
Such data is retained for the periods required by applicable accounting or other legal obligations, or otherwise only for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose. The external provider’s own processing is subject to its own privacy policy.
Safeguarding information
