Privacy Policy

Who this is

This site is operated by JM Ikeguchi, Inc., a California corporation, doing business as Joey Ikeguchi. You can reach me at joey@joeyikeguchi.com about anything on this page, including a request to delete what I hold.

What this site collects

Three kinds of thing, and it's worth separating them.

What you send me. If you submit a form, I receive what you typed: your name, your firm, your city, your email, your phone number if you gave one, and whatever you wrote in the free-text field. If you submit the ownership audit, I also receive your answers to it — that is, your assessment of which marketing accounts your firm controls.

What the site records when you submit. Alongside the form, the site sends the page you first landed on, the site that referred you, and any campaign parameters in the link you followed (gclid, utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign). This tells me which marketing brought you here, which is a thing I ask my own clients to measure and would be a hypocrite not to measure myself.

What your browser stores. The ownership audit keeps your answers in your own browser's local storage so a refresh doesn't lose them. That stays on your device. It reaches me only if you choose to submit the form. Campaign parameters are held in session storage for the length of your visit. Clearing your browser data removes both.

The site also uses Google Analytics, which sets cookies and records pages viewed, approximate location, and device type.

What I do with it

I reply to you. I keep a record of the enquiry. I look at aggregate analytics to understand which pages are useful. That's the whole list.

What I don't do with it

I don't sell it. I don't share it with anyone for their marketing. I don't add you to a mailing list because you filled in a form — if I ever start a newsletter, you'll have to ask for it.

Audit answers get a specific commitment. Your answers describe your firm's commercial relationship with a vendor. I use them to respond to you and for nothing else. I don't share them, I don't publish them, and I don't discuss an identifiable firm's answers with anyone — including that firm's vendor, and including in anonymised examples detailed enough to identify you.

Who else touches it

• Netlify hosts the site and processes form submissions before they reach my email.
• Google Analytics provides the aggregate traffic reporting.
• My email provider, because that's where enquiries land.

Each has its own privacy terms. Nobody else receives anything.

How long I keep it

Enquiries stay in my email and records for as long as there's a reason — an active conversation, an engagement, or the ordinary business need to know who I've spoken to. Ask me to delete yours and I will, other than anything I'm required to keep. Analytics data follows Google's own retention settings.

Your choices

You can ask me what I hold about you, ask for a copy, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it. Email joey@joeyikeguchi.com and I'll handle it personally, because there is nobody else here to hand it to.

If you're a California resident, the CCPA gives you rights along these lines, including a right not to be discriminated against for exercising them. I don't sell personal information and I don't share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.

You can opt out of Google Analytics with Google's browser add-on, and your browser's Do Not Track or global privacy control settings are respected where the site can act on them.

Security

The site runs over HTTPS and the services above use reasonable security measures. I'm not going to tell you any system is impossible to breach, because that isn't true of anyone's.

Children

This site is for law firms. It isn't directed at children and I don't knowingly collect anything from them.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the date at the top changes with it.
