Privacy Policy

1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this personal website is:

Email: max@maxambros.com

2. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by GitHub Pages, a service provided by GitHub, Inc. GitHub delivers the website from its servers and may process technical connection information for the operation and security of the service. This may include the IP address, date and time of the request, requested page or resource, browser and operating system information, referrer and HTTP status information.

GitHub describes its processing of visitor and service usage information in its General Privacy Statement. Information on GitHub Pages is available in the GitHub Pages documentation. The website operator does not have access to GitHub's raw infrastructure logs.

Processing is carried out to deliver and secure the website. Where applicable, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; the legitimate interests are the reliable and secure provision of this website. GitHub may process information under its own responsibility and terms.

3. Contact by email

If you contact us by email, the information you provide will be processed to handle your inquiry. Depending on its nature, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for contractual or pre-contractual matters, or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for other inquiries, based on the legitimate interest in responding to them.

The information will be deleted when it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

4. Cookies and tracking

The website code does not use analytics, advertising or marketing tracking. It does not set or read cookies, use local storage or embed third-party widgets. No analytics services such as Google Analytics or Meta Pixel are used. GitHub Pages hosting is separately subject to GitHub’s privacy information described above.

5. External links

This website contains ordinary links to external services and websites, including LinkedIn, Google Scholar, ambrosdigital.de, academic publishers and DOI services. Merely displaying these links does not transmit personal data to those services. Data may be processed by the respective provider if you follow a link; that provider's privacy information then applies.

6. Locally served fonts and icons

This website uses system fonts and locally served assets. No connection to Google Fonts or another external font service is made when a page is loaded.

7. Your rights

Under the GDPR, you may have the following rights, subject to their legal requirements:

• right of access under Art. 15 GDPR
• right to rectification under Art. 16 GDPR
• right to erasure under Art. 17 GDPR
• right to restriction of processing under Art. 18 GDPR
• right to data portability under Art. 20 GDPR
• right to object under Art. 21 GDPR

Where processing is based on consent, consent may be withdrawn with effect for the future.

8. Right to lodge a complaint

You may lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in Rhineland-Palatinate is the Der Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit Rheinland-Pfalz.

9. Changes to this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated if the website, its technical infrastructure or applicable legal requirements change.
