Who we are
Hello My Lisbon (hellomylisbon.com) is a small, independently run website about Lisbon — playful tools like Dream Decoder, Date Ideas, and Coffee Reading, plus articles and notes about the city. This page explains, in plain language, what information is collected on this site and how it is used.
Comments
If you leave a comment, we store the text of your comment along with your name, email address, and IP address. This information is used only to display your comment and to help detect spam, and is never sold or used for marketing.
Cookies
If you comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in a cookie for your convenience on future visits; these cookies last about a year. We also use a small number of analytics cookies (see below) to understand, in a general way, how visitors use the site.
Analytics
We use Google’s tools (via Site Kit) to see overall traffic trends, such as which pages are popular and how visitors find the site. This information is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally.
Share buttons
Pages include AddToAny share buttons so you can share articles on social media. These buttons may set their own cookies if you choose to use them.
External tools and links
Dream Decoder, Date Ideas, and Coffee Reading are hosted on separate websites, outside hellomylisbon.com. Once you follow a link to one of them, that site’s own privacy practices apply, not this policy.
Embedded content
Some articles may include embedded content, such as images or videos from other websites. That content behaves exactly as if you had visited the other website directly, and it may collect data about you in the same way.
Spam protection
Comments are checked automatically by Akismet, a spam-detection service, to reduce spam before it reaches the site.
How long we keep data
Comments and their details are kept so that follow-up comments from the same person can be recognized automatically, rather than held for moderation each time. You can ask us to edit or remove a comment at any time.
Your rights
You can ask what personal data we hold about you (for example, comments left under your name or email address) and request that it be corrected or deleted.
