Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited data Hawaii County Residents Directory receives, how it is handled, and the choices available to you. No account is required, and the site does not maintain a resident database or personal profile about its readers.

Information You Submit

A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search box is sent to the third-party results provider. Our servers do not retain a copy of that query. When you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to answer.


Automatic Technical Data

Standard hosting logs may contain an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. Aggregate review helps maintain the service and measure page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may rely on cookies or similar technology.


What We Do With This Data

We use limited data to operate the service, diagnose faults, measure traffic, and improve content. We neither sell lists of visitors nor create individual reader profiles.


Privacy on Linked Services

County and state portals, libraries, archives, and outside search providers set their own privacy terms. Their policies control data submitted after you follow a link, including information sent for sponsored search results.


Who Might See Your Data

Hosting and support vendors process technical logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. Information is otherwise disclosed only when valid legal process requires it.


Safeguarding Limited Data

Connections are encrypted, and logs are retained only as long as needed for the purposes stated here. Because there are no user accounts, the service stores no reader password or account profile.


Users Under 18

The site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.


Your Data Rights

Depending on your residence, law may provide rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. The research identified Hawaii’s government-record privacy framework under HRS chapter 92F, not a general private-site deletion right that should be overstated here. We can check our contact mailbox and server logs for a request made through the Contact page. Records held by Hawaii state or county offices remain under the relevant custodian’s control.


Updates to This Policy

Any change to this policy will be posted on this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated version.
