PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: 04/09/2026

This Privacy Policy explains how sofiahard.com (“the Site,” “I,” “me”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit.

Information I Collect

Newsletter signups. If you subscribe to my newsletter, I collect your name (if provided) and email address through my email service provider (Kit, formerly ConvertKit). This is used solely to send you newsletters, release announcements, and related updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.

Comments. If commenting is enabled on blog posts, WordPress may collect your name, email, and website (if provided), along with an anonymized version of your IP address, to help detect spam.

Automatically collected data. Like most websites, basic technical information (browser type, pages visited, approximate location, referring site) may be collected automatically through standard web server logs or analytics tools.

Cookies. This site may use cookies for basic functionality (such as remembering that you’ve closed a notice) and, if analytics tools are added later, to understand how visitors use the site.

How I Use Your Information

• To send newsletters and updates you’ve signed up for
• To respond to messages sent via the Contact page
• To maintain and improve the site
• To detect and prevent spam

I do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Third-Party Services

This site links to and may embed content from third-party services, including:

• Kit (ConvertKit) — for newsletter management
• Amazon, Books2Read, Goodreads, and other retailers — for purchasing and reviewing books (these are external sites with their own privacy policies)
• Social media platforms (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook) — linked from this site
• Google Fonts — for site typography

Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how they handle your data.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete the personal data I hold about you (for example, under GDPR if you’re in the EU/UK, or CCPA if you’re in California). To exercise these rights, contact me.

Data Retention

Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Contact form messages are kept only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry.

Children’s Privacy

This site contains explicit adult content and is not intended for anyone under 18. I do not knowingly collect information from minors.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
