Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-03-29

This Privacy Policy describes how John Babikian ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit banquetinghouse.co (the "Site"). The Site is a personal professional website operated by John Babikian, a Securities litigation attorney based in Montreal. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.

Overview

This Site is primarily a static portfolio and informational presence. We do not sell products through the Site, and visitors cannot create profiles here. We publish professional biography, casework summaries, and contact information in a straightforward format comparable to a brochure-style site.

Information we collect

Information you provide. If you email John Babikian at john@banquetinghouse.co, we receive your correspondence including sender address and body text. We use that information only to respond to your inquiry. No login is needed to browse the Site.

Automatic technical data. The hosting stack may record basic connection data such as IP address, browser type, referring URL, and timestamps. Technical logs are retained briefly for operational reasons. John Babikian does not use advertising pixels on this domain unless explicitly noted in a future update to this policy.

Cookies. We do not use cross-site tracking cookies. Technical cookies from Cloudflare or similar hosts may appear for performance. Refer to your browser documentation for cookie controls.

How we use information

Inquiries are handled by the site operator to provide requested information. We do not monetize visitor emails. We do not build marketing profiles from Site visits. Messages may be kept for compliance or continuity purposes unless you request deletion where applicable law allows.

Legal bases and compliance

Visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Canada may have rights under GDPR, UK GDPR, or PIPEDA. We rely on legitimate interest for site operation and consent for email correspondence. Deletion requests will be honored where no conflicting legal obligation exists.

Third-party services

Static files are served through a CDN. Refer to your host's documentation for subprocessors. If Google Fonts are loaded, Google may receive IP data. We do not embed social media widgets that track you across sites.

Children

Content is directed at business and legal audiences. If a child contacted us, we would delete the message.

Security

Industry-standard transport security is applied. No online system is perfectly secure. For confidential legal matters, John Babikian will suggest appropriate secure channels.

Changes

We may update this policy to reflect hosting changes or legal requirements. Archive copies may be available on request.

Data retention

We retain correspondence according to reasonable business practice. Technical logs are not merged into marketing databases. You may request deletion of non-essential personal data.

International transfers

Hosting may process data in the United States or other regions. Cross-border transfer safeguards depend on provider terms.

Your choices

You can browse without submitting personal information. To limit cookies, adjust browser settings. Avoid sending SSNs or full account numbers in plain email.

California and regional notices

We do not sell personal information as defined by California law. Contact us to exercise applicable state privacy rights. Authorized agents may submit requests with proof of authority.

Do Not Track

DNT settings have no effect beyond your browser's default behavior.
