Privacy policy

Last updated: August 12, 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 ankh-llc.com and related corporate pages (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 product and brand sites (for example The Blue Brook, Ankh Exec Services) may publish separate privacy policies for their own services. This policy covers the ANKH LLC corporate 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. Purchases and subscriptions for ANKH products are handled on those products' own websites and processors.

How we collect data

Personal data is collected when you submit our contact form or otherwise communicate with us 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 and provide customer service.
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 corporate 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 contact@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 contact@ankh-llc.com. Deletion requests under GDPR or CCPA will be processed within applicable statutory timelines (for example one month under GDPR, 45 days under CCPA).

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. If we deny a request, we will explain why and describe available appeal options where required.

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, such as COPPA in the United States).

If you believe we have collected a child's personal data, contact contact@ankh-llc.com and we will delete it promptly as required by law.

We do not sell or share the personal data of minors under 16 without affirmative authorization where required by the CCPA.

Automated decision-making

We do not use automated decision-making (including profiling) that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.

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 by email or prominent notice on the Site.

Sharing and affiliates

We do not sell personal information. We share data with processors only as described above.

ANKH LLC operates multiple brands and products. Data collected on this corporate Site is not automatically shared with those products. Each offering may maintain its own privacy policy.

Operational sharing within the ANKH corporate group is limited to legitimate business purposes. Marketing use of your data requires consent where mandated.

Marketing communications

Submitting a contact form does not subscribe you to marketing emails. If we send optional marketing messages in the future, each will include a clear way to opt out, and we will rely on consent where required.

California residents: notice at collection

We collect the following categories of personal information from California residents through this Site: identifiers (such as name and email) and internet or electronic network activity (such as IP address and server logs).

We use this information for the business purposes listed above, including responding to inquiries, operating the Site, and security.

We do not sell personal information as defined under the CCPA. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

For a full description of our practices and your CCPA rights (including access, deletion, correction, and opt-out), review this Privacy Policy. Submit requests to contact@ankh-llc.com.
