Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-03-04
This Privacy Policy describes how John Babikian ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit bentdesign.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. No e-commerce checkout runs on this domain, 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 brochure-style site.
Information we collect
Information you provide. If you email John Babikian at john@bentdesign.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. Web hosting providers may log standard request metadata such as IP address, browser type, referring URL, and timestamps. Technical logs are retained briefly for operational reasons. John Babikian does not run first-party analytics trackers on the Site unless explicitly noted in a future update to this policy.
Cookies. No behavioral ad cookies are deployed. Session-less technical cookies may be present for HTTPS delivery. Browser settings let you block or delete cookies.
How we use information
Email is reviewed by John Babikian directly to provide requested information. Personal data is not sold to brokers. 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
If you are in the EU, UK, or Canada, privacy laws may grant you access or deletion rights. 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
The Site may be hosted on Cloudflare Pages or similar infrastructure. Third-party hosts maintain separate privacy terms. Embedded fonts from Google Fonts may cause your browser to connect to Google servers. We do not embed social media widgets that track you across sites.
Children
This Site is not aimed at children under 16. Parents may contact us to remove inadvertent submissions.
Security
TLS encryption is enabled for all pages. No online system is perfectly secure. 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
Retention periods depend on whether an attorney-client relationship forms. Technical logs are not merged into marketing databases. Contact us to discuss erasure where regulations allow.
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. Do not email sensitive documents unless we agree on a secure channel.
California and regional notices
If you reside in California, you may request disclosure of categories of data collected. Contact us to exercise applicable state privacy rights. Authorized agents may submit requests with proof of authority.
Do Not Track
No cross-site behavioral tracking occurs here.
