Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 10th 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit my website sofiashab.com (the “Site”). I am committed to respecting your privacy and handling your data in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

By using this Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Who I Am

This website is operated by Sofia Shab, an independent author based in Switzerland. You can contact me at: sofiashab@hotmail.com.

2. What Data I Collect

a. Newsletter Signups

When you sign up for my newsletter, I collect your email address and optionally your name. This is processed via MailerLite, my email marketing provider, which is GDPR-compliant.

b. Free Book Delivery

If you download a free ebook or other resource via BookFunnel, your name and email address may be shared with me, but only if you explicitly consent to join my mailing list.

Your personal data is used only to:

  • Send newsletters and book-related updates

You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in the footer of any email you receive from me.

4. Use of Affiliate Links

This website may include affiliate links (e.g., Amazon). If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. These third-party sites may use cookies and tracking technologies. Their use of data is governed by their own privacy policies.

5. Data Protection

I take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect your data. Your data is never sold or rented to third parties. Service providers like MailerLite and BookFunnel are used strictly for the purposes outlined above and are selected for their compliance with data protection laws.

As a Swiss or EU/EEA resident, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data I hold about you
