What we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it and how to make us delete it. Written to be read, not skimmed past.
Last updated: 12 January 2026 · Version: 3.1
This website, lanternscleverpocket.lat, is published by Azulejo Media Publishing Lda. ("we", "us"), a company registered in Portugal under number 514 302 887, with its registered office at Rua da Bica de Duarte Belo 47, 1200-058 Lisboa, Portugal.
We are the data controller for personal data processed through this site. For any privacy matter, write to [email protected].
We are a small independent magazine. We do not sell personal data, we do not run behavioural advertising, and we do not build profiles of readers. The only personal data we hold is what you deliberately send us — your name, email address and message — plus anonymised statistics about which pages are read.
| Data | When | Purpose | Legal basis | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name, email, message, travel month | You submit the contact form | To answer your enquiry | Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) | 24 months |
| Email address | You tick the newsletter box | To send the monthly dispatch | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) | Until you unsubscribe |
| Consent choice | You use the cookie banner | To remember your preference | Legal obligation (ePrivacy) | 12 months |
| Aggregated page views, referrer, approximate country, device type | You browse, with analytics consent | To understand which guides are useful | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) | 14 months |
| Server logs (truncated IP, timestamp, URL) | Every request | Security, abuse prevention, fault diagnosis | Legitimate interest | 30 days |
We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16. We do not process special-category data, and we ask that you do not include health, religious or similar information in a contact message.
The site sets a small number of cookies and uses your browser's local storage to remember your consent choice. Nothing beyond the strictly necessary is set until you make a choice in the banner. The full inventory, including names and durations, is in our Cookie Policy.
We use a short list of processors, each bound by a data-processing agreement:
We do not sell, rent or trade personal data. We disclose data to authorities only where legally compelled.
Our processors are chosen to keep data inside the European Economic Area. Where a transfer outside the EEA is unavoidable, it is covered by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and a transfer impact assessment.
Under the GDPR you may at any time:
Request a copy of everything we hold about you, in a portable format.
Have inaccurate or incomplete data amended.
Ask us to delete it, where we have no overriding legal reason to keep it.
Limit how we process it, or object to processing based on legitimate interest.
For the newsletter or analytics, at any time and without affecting past lawful processing.
To the Portuguese supervisory authority, the CNPD (Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados), or to the authority in your country of residence.
We respond to rights requests within 30 days and never charge for them.
The site is served exclusively over HTTPS. Access to the contact inbox is limited to two editors and protected by two-factor authentication. Backups are encrypted at rest and retained for 30 days. In the unlikely event of a breach affecting your rights, we will notify the CNPD within 72 hours and inform you directly where required.
Our guides link to railway operators, museums, restaurants and booking platforms. Once you follow such a link, their privacy policy applies, not ours. We have no control over and accept no responsibility for third-party data practices.
We update this policy when our processing changes. The version number and date at the top always reflect the current text, and material changes are announced in the newsletter and on the homepage for 30 days.
