We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data
protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the toBrain
GmbH. The use of the Internet pages of the toBrain GmbH is possible without any
indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special
enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become
necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no
statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data
subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address,
or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General
Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific
data protection regulations applicable to the toBrain GmbH. By means of this
data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general
public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use
and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data
protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, the toBrain GmbH has implemented numerous technical and
organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data
processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in
principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For
this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via
alternative means, e.g. by telephone.
1. Definitions
The data protection declaration of the toBrain GmbH is based on the terms
used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and
understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business
partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.
In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following
terms:
- a) Personal dataPersonal data
means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural
person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be
identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an
identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an
online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical,
physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of
that natural person. - b) Data subjectData subject is any identified or

otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure
or destruction. - d) Restriction of
processingRestriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data
with the aim of limiting their processing in the future. - e) ProfilingProfiling means any
form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of
personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural
person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that
natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal
preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements. - f)
PseudonymisationPseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in
such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a
specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided
that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to
technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are
not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person. - g) Controller or controller
responsible for the processingController or controller responsible for the
processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or
other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes
and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means
of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the
controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for
by Union or Member State law. - h) ProcessorProcessor is a
natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which
processes personal data on behalf of the controller. - i)

or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third
party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data
in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or
Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of
those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the
applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the
processing. - j) Third partyThird
party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other
than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the
direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process
personal data. - k) ConsentConsent of the data
subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication
of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a
clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of
personal data relating to him or her.
2. Name and Address of the

3. Cookies
The Internet pages of the toBrain GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files
that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a
so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It
consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be
assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This
allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser
of the dats subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A
specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique
cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, the toBrain GmbH can provide the users of this
website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the
cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be
optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to
recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it
easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies,
e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed,
because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the
user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an
online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed
in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through
our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used,
and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set
cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software
programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data
subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not
all functions of our website may be entirely usable.
4. Collection of general data
and information
The website of the toBrain GmbH collects a series of general data and
information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This
general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may
be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by
the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches
our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time
of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address),
(7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other
similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our
information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, the toBrain GmbH does not
draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed
to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content
of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability
of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide
law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal
prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the toBrain GmbH analyzes
anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of
increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to
ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The
anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal
data provided by a data subject.
5. Routine erasure and
blocking of personal data
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data
subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as
far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws

7. Data protection provisions
about the application and use of Facebook
On this website, the controller has integrated components of the enterprise
Facebook. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet, an online
community, which usually allows users to communicate with each other and
interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the
exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to
provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows social
network users to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos, and
network through friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo
Park, CA 94025, United States. If a person lives outside of the United States
or Canada, the controller is the Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square,
Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet website,
which is operated by the controller and into which a Facebook component
(Facebook plug-ins) was integrated, the web browser on the information
technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download
display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook through the
Facebook component. An overview of all the Facebook Plug-ins may be accessed
under https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During the course of this
technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of what specific sub-site of our
website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook
detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the
entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which specific sub-site of
our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected
through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook
account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook
buttons integrated into our website, e.g. the “Like” button, or if
the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook matches this information with
the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal
data.
Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component, information about
a visit to our website by the data subject, whenever the data subject is logged
in at the same time on Facebook during the time of the call-up to our website.
This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook
component or not. If such a transmission of information to Facebook is not
desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off
from their Facebook account before a call-up to our website is made.
The data protection guideline published by Facebook, which is available at
https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection,
processing and use of personal data by Facebook. In addition, it is explained
there what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data
subject. In addition, different configuration options are made available to
allow the elimination of data transmission to Facebook. These applications may
be used by the data subject to eliminate a data transmission to Facebook.
8. Data protection provisions
about the application and use of LinkedIn
The controller has integrated components of the LinkedIn Corporation on
this website. LinkedIn is a web-based social network that enables users with
existing business contacts to connect and to make new business contacts. Over
400 million registered people in more than 200 countries use LinkedIn. Thus,
LinkedIn is currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the
most visited websites in the world.
The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin
Court Mountain View, CA 94043, UNITED STATES. For privacy matters outside of
the UNITED STATES LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site,
which is operated by the controller and on which a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn
plug-in) was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology
system of the data subject is automatically prompted to the download of a
display of the corresponding LinkedIn component of LinkedIn. Further
information about the LinkedIn plug-in may be accessed under
https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. During the course of this technical
procedure, LinkedIn gains knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website
was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on LinkedIn, LinkedIn
detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the
entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which specific sub-page of
our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is
collected through the LinkedIn component and associated with the respective
LinkedIn account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the
LinkedIn buttons integrated on our website, then LinkedIn assigns this
information to the personal LinkedIn user account of the data subject and
stores the personal data.
LinkedIn receives information via the LinkedIn component that the data
subject has visited our website, provided that the data subject is logged in at
LinkedIn at the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless of
whether the person clicks on the LinkedIn button or not. If such a transmission
of information to LinkedIn is not desirable for the data subject, then he or
she may prevent this by logging off from their LinkedIn account before a
call-up to our website is made.

10. Data protection provisions about the application and use of hCaptcha
We use the hcaptcha tool from Intuition Machines, Inc., 350 Alabama St, San Francisco, as part of our legitimate interest in a technically flawless online offer and its economically efficient design and optimization in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. CA 94110, United States.
The hcaptcha service checks whether the input on our website was made by a human or abusively by automated, machine processing and is therefore used in particular in connection with forms. The hcaptcha service uses the following data to ensure that an action is carried out by a human and not by an automated bot: IP address of the device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type used, date and duration of the visit and user behavior , e.g. B. mouse movements or other queries. The procedure serves exclusively to ward off spam, DDoS attacks and similar automated malicious access.
This may result in your data being transferred to the USA. We have concluded an order processing contract with Intuition Machines, Inc., according to which Intuition Machines, Inc. only processes your data according to our instructions. This AVV also stipulates that the data will only be transferred to the USA by Intuition Machines, Inc. within the framework of the standard contractual clauses.
For more information on how hcaptcha uses your data, please see Intuition Machines, Inc.’s privacy policy: https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy.
11. Legal basis for the
processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations
for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the
processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to
which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing
operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other
service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies
to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out
pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our
products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which
processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax
obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases,
the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests
of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for
example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance
data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor,
hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1)
lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit.
f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not
covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary
for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a
third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or
fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of
personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because
they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered
that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of
the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
12. The legitimate interests
pursued by the controller or by a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR
our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being
of all our employees and the shareholders.
13. Period for which the
personal data will be stored
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is
the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the
corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary
for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
14. Provision of personal data
as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a
contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible
consequences of failure to provide such data
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law
(e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g.
information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to
conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which
must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged
to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or
her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the
contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is
provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The
employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal
data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the
contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the
consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
15. Existence of automated
decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or
profiling.
