Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 2026

We respect your privacy and aim to handle personal information collected through nedhals.net in a clear, secure, and limited manner, only to the extent reasonably necessary to operate the website and its services.

Who We Are

nedhals.net is the official website of writer Nedhal Shaheen.

The technical and commercial aspects of the website are managed through Shaheen Digital LLC, a company registered in the State of New Mexico, United States.

Information We Collect

We may collect certain information when you interact with the website. The type of information collected depends on how you use the website.

Newsletter

When you subscribe to the newsletter, we collect the email address you provide for the purpose of sending content and updates related to Nedhal Shaheen and the website. Details of how you sign up, your consent and who sends the emails are in the “Free Sample and Emails (Brevo)” section below.

You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time through the unsubscribe link included in our emails, when available, or by contacting us.

Your email address is used for this purpose and is not sold to third parties.

Free Sample and Emails (Brevo)

Downloading the free sample of the book happens through Payhip and does not add you to any mailing list.

If you sign up for our emails, from the newsletter page or the free sample page, and tick the box, Shaheen Digital LLC (USA) will use your email address to send you a newsletter of no more than one email a month, and two emails about the book “The Saint Who Dwelt Within Me”, including an offer to buy it. Your address is added only after you click the confirmation link we send you. Our legal basis is your consent, which you can withdraw at any time using the unsubscribe link or by writing to admin@shaheendigital.net. We use Brevo to send these emails; Brevo acts on our behalf. Your data is processed outside the EU, in the United States. We keep your address until you unsubscribe, then a minimal record to honour your request. You may ask for access, correction or deletion, and may complain to your data protection authority.

Book Purchases

Ebooks offered on the website are sold through Payhip (payhip.com), a third-party platform. When you select a buy button, you are taken to a page on Payhip, where the purchase and payment are completed through the payment processor you choose at checkout. We do not receive or store your payment card details.

Payhip provides us with information about the order, which may include your name, email address, country, the product purchased, the amount paid, and the date of purchase. We use this information to deliver the book, provide purchase-related support, keep accounting records, and comply with legal and tax obligations where applicable.

Buying a book does not subscribe you to the newsletter. We add you to the newsletter only if you subscribe to it yourself.

Payhip and the payment processors handle your information under their own privacy policies. Payhip’s privacy policy is available at (https://payhip.com/privacy).

Technical Information

The website, hosting provider, or technical service providers may automatically collect limited technical information for the purposes of operating, protecting, and maintaining the website, such as:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address
• Browser and device type
• Operating system
• Date and time of access
• Pages visited
• Technical information related to website security and performance

This information may be used to operate the website, maintain its security, diagnose technical issues, and improve performance.

Cookies

The website may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for certain website functions or for remembering preferences.

We use Google Analytics, connected through Site Kit by Google, to understand visits, pages viewed and interactions with the website and to improve its content and performance. Google Analytics may use cookies and process information about your browser, device and use of the website. Google processes this information under its privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). Google Analytics loads only after you consent to the Statistics category. You can change your choice or withdraw consent at any time using the floating Cookie Preferences button, then save your preferences and reload the page. You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings.

Third-Party Content and Services

The website may link to external services.

When you interact with embedded content or visit a third-party website, that third party may collect information or use cookies in accordance with its own privacy policy.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services.

Advertising

We advertise our books on Meta’s platforms (Facebook and Instagram). When you see or click one of our ads, Meta processes that interaction under its own privacy policy (https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy).

We do not place Meta tracking tools (such as the Meta pixel) on this website or on the book’s purchase page, and we do not send Meta customer lists or email addresses.

Payhip’s store template may load Meta components such as the Facebook share button; these are governed by Payhip’s and Meta’s own policies.

How We Use Information

Information collected through the website is used only for purposes related to operating and providing the website and its services, including:

• Operating and securing the website
• Sending newsletters to subscribers
• Delivering purchased books and providing purchase-related support
• Responding to requests or inquiries
• Improving website performance and user experience
• Preventing misuse and addressing security risks
• Complying with applicable legal obligations

Sharing of Information

We do not sell visitors’ personal information.

A limited amount of information may be shared with service providers used to operate the website, such as hosting, email, security, backup, or other technical service providers, only to the extent reasonably necessary for them to provide those services.

When you buy a book, the sales platform Payhip and the payment processor you choose process the order and payment information, as described under “Book Purchases”.

Information may also be disclosed when required by applicable law or when reasonably necessary to protect the website, its users, or our legal rights.

Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or to satisfy applicable legal or security requirements.

An email address may be retained while you remain subscribed to the newsletter. When you unsubscribe, it will no longer be used to send newsletter communications, although a limited record may be retained when necessary to document or honor the unsubscribe request.

Records of book orders are retained for as long as necessary for accounting, tax, and legal purposes.

Information Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to help protect information we process against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no online system or method of transmitting information over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your Rights

You may contact us to inquire about personal information you have provided to us or to request its correction or deletion, where reasonably possible and permitted by applicable law.

Certain information may need to be retained when necessary to comply with a legal or security obligation or to protect legitimate rights.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not specifically directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from them.

If we become aware that personal information relating to a child has been collected in circumstances where deletion or other action is required by applicable law, appropriate action will be taken.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the website’s features, services, technologies, or applicable legal requirements change.

The updated version will be published on this page, and the “Last Updated” date will be revised when appropriate.
