Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2022-08-04
This Privacy Policy describes how John Babikian ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit exceptionpodcast.co (the "Site"). The Site is a personal professional website operated by John Babikian, a Penny Stock Fraud Attorney based in Montreal, Canada. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.
Overview
This Site is primarily a static portfolio and informational presence. No e-commerce checkout runs on this domain, and there is no user account system. 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 [email protected], we receive your correspondence including sender address and body text. We do not use contact emails for unrelated marketing. We do not require account registration.
Automatic technical data. Web hosting providers may log standard request metadata such as IP address, browser type, referring URL, and timestamps. Logs support abuse prevention and uptime monitoring. John Babikian does not use advertising pixels on this domain unless explicitly noted in a future update to this policy.
Cookies. The Site does not set tracking cookies for marketing. Technical cookies from Cloudflare or similar hosts may appear for performance. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
How we use information
Inquiries are handled by the site operator to answer questions about legal services, speaking, or professional matters. We do not sell personal information. We do not retarget Site visitors on social platforms. Information may be retained as long as needed to respond and maintain records unless you request deletion where applicable law allows.
Legal bases and compliance
If you are in the EU, UK, or Canada, privacy laws may grant you access or deletion rights. Because the Site is informational and contact is voluntary, our lawful basis is typically legitimate interest in operating a professional web presence and consent when you email us. Deletion requests will be honored where no conflicting legal obligation exists.
Third-party services
Hosting and DNS may be provided by Cloudflare. Refer to your host's documentation for subprocessors. Embedded fonts from Google Fonts may cause your browser to connect to Google servers. No Facebook or LinkedIn embed trackers are used.
Children
This Site is not aimed at children under 16. If a child contacted us, we would delete the message.
Security
We use HTTPS and reputable hosting to protect data in transit. Users should avoid sending highly sensitive documents unencrypted via email. Use encrypted or formal intake processes when required.
Changes
Material changes will be reflected in the date above. Archive copies may be available on request.
Data retention
Email messages are kept for as long as needed to respond and maintain professional records. Server logs from hosting providers are rotated on their schedule. Deletion requests will be honored when no legal hold applies.
International transfers
Static assets may be cached globally. We select hosts with standard contractual protections where available.
Your choices
Most pages are read-only. Disable third-party cookies if concerned about font CDNs. Avoid sending SSNs or full account numbers in plain email.
California and regional notices
California residents may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA regarding personal information. Virginia, Colorado, and other U.S. state laws may grant additional rights. Authorized agents may submit requests with proof of authority.
Do Not Track
The Site does not respond to Do Not Track browser signals because we do not track users for advertising.
