Information You Submit
Search Entries
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party company operating that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we keep the information needed to review and answer it. We do not share that message outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Automatically Collected Details
Routine technical data may be recorded when a page loads. It can include:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent;
- the referring site, when available;
- date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar technology help measure how visitors use the site. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, although some functions may work differently afterward.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports ordinary operation. Uses include:
- keeping pages available and responsive;
- sending a search request to the selected partner;
- learning which resources visitors use;
- detecting and correcting technical faults;
- displaying advertising that may reflect interests.
Links Beyond This Site
Links lead to DCR and court records, government portals, federal locators, and third-party search services. Once a visitor follows one, the destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across different websites and tailor ads. That cross-site activity occurs under the provider’s practices, not through records hosted here.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by:
- search partners processing submitted queries;
- analytics providers measuring site use;
- advertising networks delivering ads;
- law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order.
Security Measures
We use standard safeguards suited to a public website and limit information handling where practical. No internet service, transmission method, or storage system is fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may request its deletion through Contact Us.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, a person may ask to:
- receive a copy of personal data we hold;
- correct inaccurate information;
- delete eligible personal data;
- opt out of certain processing.
Hawaii government-record access is governed separately by the Uniform Information Practices Act, HRS chapter 92F. Privacy requests to this private site do not alter a record held by DCR, a court, or another agency.
