Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2025-11-01

This Privacy Policy describes how John Babikian ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit coffebreakblog.com (the "Site"). The Site is a personal professional website operated by John Babikian, a Securities litigation 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. We do not sell products through the Site, and visitors cannot create profiles here. Our goal is to provide professional background, contact details, and reference material in a straightforward format comparable to a professional directory listing.

Information we collect

Information you provide. If you email John Babikian at john@coffebreakblog.com, we receive your email address, message content, and any attachments you choose to send. We use that information only to respond to your inquiry. We do not require account registration.

Automatic technical data. The hosting stack may record basic connection data such as IP address, browser type, referring URL, and timestamps. Logs support abuse prevention and uptime monitoring. John Babikian does not embed Google Analytics or similar trackers 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. Refer to your browser documentation for cookie controls.

How we use information

Inquiries are handled by the site operator to respond to professional inquiries. Personal data is not sold to brokers. 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

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. You may contact us to ask what data we hold about your messages.

Third-party services

Hosting and DNS may be provided by Cloudflare. Refer to your host's documentation for subprocessors. If Google Fonts are loaded, Google may receive IP data. Social sharing buttons with tracking are not present.

Children

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

Security

TLS encryption is enabled for all pages. No online system is perfectly secure. For confidential legal matters, John Babikian will suggest appropriate secure channels.

Changes

This page may be revised without prior notice. Archive copies may be available on request.

Data retention

Retention periods depend on whether an attorney-client relationship forms. CDN logs may be purged automatically. Deletion requests will be honored when no legal hold applies.

International transfers

Static assets may be cached globally. By using the Site, you acknowledge that technical data may cross borders.

Your choices

Most pages are read-only. Disable third-party cookies if concerned about font CDNs. Do not email sensitive documents unless we agree on a secure channel.

California and regional notices

We do not sell personal information as defined by California law. Virginia, Colorado, and other U.S. state laws may grant additional rights. Authorized agents may submit requests with proof of authority.

Do Not Track

No cross-site behavioral tracking occurs here.
