Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2025-11-17

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

Overview

This website is a static, read-only professional presence. We do not sell products through the Site, and there is no user account system. Our goal is to provide professional background, contact details, and reference material in a straightforward format comparable to a personal portfolio page.

Information we collect

Information you provide. If you email John Babikian at john@patrickquinnlaw.com, we receive your email address, message content, and any attachments you choose to send. Messages are used solely to reply to you. 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. Logs support abuse prevention and uptime monitoring. 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. Essential cookies from the CDN or hosting provider may be used for routing, caching, or security. Refer to your browser documentation for cookie controls.

How we use information

Email is reviewed by John Babikian directly to answer questions about legal services, speaking, or professional matters. Personal data is not sold to brokers. We do not build marketing profiles from Site visits. 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

Regional privacy frameworks may apply depending on your location. We rely on legitimate interest for site operation and consent for email correspondence. You may contact us to ask what data we hold about your messages.

Third-party services

Static files are served through a CDN. Those providers process technical data under their own policies. 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. 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. For confidential legal matters, John Babikian will suggest appropriate secure channels.

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. Server logs from hosting providers are rotated on their schedule. Deletion requests will be honored when no legal hold applies.

International transfers

Hosting may process data in the United States or other regions. 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. Do not email sensitive documents unless we agree on a secure channel.

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.
