Information You Submit
A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share a message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Ordinary web systems may record technical details when a page loads.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, although some functions may work differently after cookies are blocked.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports the operation and improvement of the site.
- Maintain reliable and responsive pages
- Send a search request to the selected partner service
- Understand which Honolulu record guides visitors use
- Detect errors and resolve technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests
Privacy on Linked Services
The site links to DCR and HPD records information, Hawaiʻi government portals, court resources, federal locators, and outside search services. Once you follow a link, the destination’s privacy notice and practices apply instead of this one.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and tailor advertising. That tracking occurs under the partner’s controls, not in a database of official Honolulu release records maintained here.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be handled by the services needed to operate the site or comply with law.
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order
Security Practices
We use standard safeguards appropriate to a web service. No internet transmission, connected system, or storage method is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. If a minor has submitted information, a parent or guardian may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and any need to verify the request, you may ask us to take the following actions concerning personal data held by this site.
- Provide a copy of the data
- Correct inaccurate information
- Delete information that may lawfully be erased
- Honor an available opt-out from certain processing
These rights do not control records held by Hawaiʻi agencies under HRS chapter 92F or information held by an outside search provider. Direct those requests to the holder of the record or data.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as site practices or legal requirements change. A revised version becomes available on this page with an updated effective date.
