Privacy policy
Last updated: August 13, 2026
ANKH LLC ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit services.ankh-llc.com and submit inquiries about our professional services (this "Site"). It applies to visitors worldwide and is designed to comply with applicable laws, including Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended.
Please read this policy carefully. By using this Site, you agree to the practices described here.
Our corporate site (ankh-llc.com) and product brands (for example The Blue Brook) may publish separate privacy policies for their own services. This policy covers the ANKH professional services website only.
Personal data collected
We collect the following categories of personal information in connection with this Site:
Identifiers (for example your name and email address).
Professional or employment information you choose to provide (for example company name).
Inquiry content (the message you submit through our contact form).
Internet or other electronic network activity (for example IP address, browser type, and standard server logs).
Sensitive personal information
We do not collect sensitive personal information as defined under applicable laws such as GDPR or CCPA through this Site.
We do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA. Any future sharing for marketing would require opt-in consent where mandated (for example under GDPR).
We do not process payment card data on this Site. Fees for professional services are agreed in proposals or statements of work and invoiced separately.
How we collect data
Personal data is collected when you submit our contact form or otherwise communicate with us about professional services through this Site.
We may also collect technical data such as IP addresses, browser types, device identifiers, and usage logs automatically for security, abuse prevention, and basic analytics. Where possible, we aggregate or anonymize this data.
We use essential cookies or similar technologies required for the Site to function. Non-essential tracking, if introduced in the future, will require your consent where required by law.
Purpose of processing
Collected personal data is used to:
Respond to inquiries about our professional services and provide customer support.
Operate, secure, and improve this Site.
Maintain records required for legal, tax, or compliance purposes.
Send communications you request or that we are permitted to send with your consent.
Legal bases (where applicable)
We process personal data on the basis of: (a) performance of a contract or steps prior to entering a contract (responding to your inquiry); (b) legitimate interests (Site security, fraud prevention, and business communications); and (c) consent (optional marketing, where applicable).
Marketing communications require your explicit opt-in consent where required. You may withdraw consent at any time.
Third-party processors
We use trusted service providers to operate this Site. They process data only on our instructions and under appropriate safeguards.
Current categories of processors include cloud infrastructure and content delivery (for example Amazon Web Services), and email delivery for contact form messages (for example Resend).
We maintain data processing agreements or equivalent contractual protections with processors where required. For transfers of personal data outside Japan, we rely on approved mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions, as applicable.
A list of material sub-processors is available on request by emailing exec-services@ankh-llc.com.
Data retention and deletion
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy and to comply with legal obligations.
Contact form submissions are generally retained while the inquiry is active and for a reasonable period afterward for support and record-keeping, unless a longer period is required by law.
Server and security logs are retained for a limited period and then deleted or anonymized.
You may request correction or deletion of your personal data by contacting exec-services@ankh-llc.com. Deletion requests under GDPR or CCPA will be processed within applicable statutory timelines.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data, and to data portability.
Under GDPR, you may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Under CCPA, California residents have rights to know, delete, and opt out of sales or sharing (we do not sell personal information).
Requests are free of charge, subject to identity verification, and answered within legal timelines.
Children's privacy
This Site is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16 (or under 13 where required by applicable law).
If you believe we have collected a child's personal data, contact exec-services@ankh-llc.com and we will delete it promptly as required by law.
Security
We implement administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal data, including encryption in transit and at rest where appropriate.
Primary data processing for this Site occurs in Japan. Backups or disaster-recovery copies may be stored in other regions through our infrastructure providers solely to maintain service continuity.
In the event of a personal data breach that affects your rights, we will notify you and relevant authorities as required by law.
Policy updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date and, where required by law, notified in advance.
