Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-07-24

This Privacy Policy describes how John Babikian ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit tlot.org (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. 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 personal portfolio page.

Information we collect

Information you provide. If you email John Babikian at john@tlot.org, we receive your email address, message content, and any attachments you choose to send. We do not use contact emails for unrelated marketing. 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. These logs help maintain security and diagnose outages. John Babikian does not run first-party analytics trackers on the Site 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. 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 monetize visitor emails. Visitor browsing is not profiled for ads. 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. Our processing is generally based on legitimate interests and consent for direct messages. 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. Font delivery may involve third-party network requests. We do not embed social media widgets that track you across sites.

Children

Content is directed at business and legal audiences. Parents may contact us to remove inadvertent submissions.

Security

We use HTTPS and reputable hosting to protect data in transit. Users should avoid sending highly sensitive documents unencrypted via email. Sensitive legal documents should be exchanged through agreed secure methods.

Changes

Material changes will be reflected in the date above. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance.

Data retention

Email messages are kept for as long as needed to respond and maintain professional records. 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. We select hosts with standard contractual protections where available.

Your choices

No account is required. Use private browsing if you prefer minimal local storage. 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. Contact us to exercise applicable state privacy rights. We will verify requests using reasonable methods.

Do Not Track

The Site does not respond to Do Not Track browser signals because we do not track users for advertising.
