Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 8, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information PostQuantumSecurity.org collects, how that information is used, when it may be shared, and what choices you have. This site is operated from the United States and is intended for a U.S.-based website audience, including visitors from California.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

This site uses cookies and similar technologies for privacy preferences, site functionality, analytics, and third-party services. Current examples include cookie_consent for privacy choices and kyber_session for an admin-only experimental application-layer session.

You can manage cookie preferences through the site’s cookie settings controls. Disabling some external services may affect form protections such as Google reCAPTCHA.

Third-Party Services

We currently use third-party services including:

• Newsletter data is retained until you unsubscribe or the list entry is otherwise removed.
• Cookies remain for the periods described in the site’s settings or until cleared by you.
• Server logs and security-related records are retained for operational, security, and troubleshooting purposes.

Your Choices

• You may unsubscribe from newsletter or marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in the email.
• You may contact us to request deletion or correction of information you submitted through the site, subject to legitimate recordkeeping and security needs.
• You may control certain cookies through your browser settings and the site’s privacy controls.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is not yet a universally accepted standard for how to interpret Do Not Track signals, this site does not currently respond differently to them.

California Notice

If you are a California visitor, this Privacy Policy is intended to provide notice of the categories of personal information collected through this website and the purposes for which that information is used.
