How we store client data

All data stored in IBM Quantum™ is encrypted.

Jobs are executed when quantum inputs are sent from IBM Quantum Composer, or from direct submission via API. The front end removes Personally Identifiable Information and/or Business Contact Information from the data, writes the job to storage, and adds it to the queue for the backend to process. The backend retrieves the job from storage, executes the job, and writes the results to storage.
