Privacy Notice
Ambiten documentation — docs.ambiten.dev
Last updated: 31 October 2026
1. Scope
This notice explains personal-data processing connected with visiting the public documentation for Ambiten, an open-source runtime for Node.js and MongoDB applications.
Visitors can read the documentation without creating an Ambiten account or subscribing to a paid service. This notice concerns the documentation website; it does not describe data processing by independent applications that install and use the Ambiten software. The operators of those applications are responsible for their own privacy information.

3. Hosting through GitHub Pages
The documentation is published as a static website through GitHub Pages, a service provided by GitHub. GitHub receives technical information when browsers request pages and associated website resources.
GitHub expressly states that the IP address of each visitor to a GitHub Pages site is logged and stored for security purposes, whether or not that visitor is signed in to GitHub. Other technical information may be processed in connection with serving and protecting the website, depending on GitHub's infrastructure and practices.
The documentation is hosted this way so visitors can access technical content and the website can operate reliably and securely. To the extent that processing is carried out under our responsibility, we rely on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests in providing and securing the documentation website), where applicable. GitHub also describes processing it carries out under its own responsibilities in its privacy statement.
For details about GitHub Pages and GitHub's handling of personal data, see:
Retention: GitHub controls the storage and retention of its GitHub Pages security logs. An exact log-retention period has not been established by Abinod in this notice. GitHub's published privacy information explains its retention practices and the criteria it applies.
4. International processing
Although Abinod operates from Germany, GitHub Pages hosting does not establish that all website-request data stays in Germany or the European Union. GitHub describes processing in different locations, including the United States and other countries, and discusses international transfer arrangements in its privacy statement.
Applicable safeguards and transfer mechanisms must be assessed according to the services and arrangements actually used. You can read GitHub's explanation of international transfers in its General Privacy Statement.
5. Domain registration and DNS
The domain used for the documentation is registered through Porkbun. Domain registration and domain-management services are separate from the hosting of website pages, which takes place through GitHub Pages.
Depending on the live DNS configuration, technical DNS queries may be handled by the authoritative DNS service configured for the domain. This notice does not assume that Porkbun necessarily receives each visitor's website request merely because it is the registrar.
For information about Porkbun's own processing, see its Privacy Policy.
6. Browser storage and optional website features
The documentation uses VitePress, which can store interface preferences in the browser, including the appearance (light or dark theme), depending on the configuration. VitePress's default theme uses local storage to restore a visitor's appearance preference. Browser storage is not the same thing as a user account, but storing or reading information on a device must still be considered under the applicable rules, including Section 25 TDDDG.
Search behavior depends on the configured search provider. An in-browser local search can work differently from a hosted third-party search service. The live VitePress configuration, external assets, analytics, and any optional storage must be verified before publishing this notice as a complete description of deployed website behavior.
7. External links and resources
The documentation may link to GitHub repositories, npm packages, product websites, and other external technical resources. When you follow an external link, the destination service may process personal data under its own privacy notice.
If third-party scripts, fonts, embedded media, or hosted search tools are loaded directly within the documentation website, these may also lead to requests to their providers and must be disclosed according to the deployed configuration.
8. Contact by email
If you contact Abinod, we process the information you send, including your contact details and message, to handle and respond to the enquiry. Depending on the purpose, the legal basis may be Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for steps relating to a contract, or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for other legitimate business communications.
Correspondence is retained as necessary for the enquiry and applicable legal obligations. Additional information about Abinod's business email handling appears in the Abinod Privacy Policy.
9. Your rights and complaints
Subject to the relevant legal conditions, you may have rights of access, correction, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent without affecting earlier lawful processing.
You may contact contact@abinod.com about data processing for which Abinod is responsible. For personal data GitHub processes under its own responsibility, please also consult GitHub's privacy statement.
You may lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority. For a private business based in North Rhine-Westphalia, the relevant authority is generally the Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen (LDI NRW).
10. Updates
We will revise this notice if the documentation's hosting, storage, external services, or processing activities change.
