At HawaiiWest.com, we understand how important your personal privacy is to you. We understand that you expect privacy and security when it comes to information that personally identifies you and allows you to be individually contacted. We have adopted the following privacy policy because we understand that you want the information that you provide to us to be safe and you want to know how that information is being used.

The following explains, among other things, how and why your personal information is collected, how it is utilized and in what type of capacities.

Online Forms - We incorporate the use of online registration and miscellaneous forms that request contact and demographic information. Currently, when you sign up to access the website's search capabilities, we ask for your name and e-mail address. This information decreases the amount of information you may need to provide when filling out certain of our websites' forms and enables you to take advantage of the products and services offered through the website. When you request certain information or services through our various order forms, we may also require your mailing address and telephone number so that we can be sure to reach you if it is necessary. These online forms will also enable us to send you content related to administration services, website changes and solicited information.

Our cookies do not gather personally identifiable information. We utilize cookies to retain your profile for quick navigation and to communicate appropriate information that match your needs and interests. Cookies are also used as a tool to improve our website based on user trends. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can change your browser to prevent cookies from being placed in your computer without your consent. If your computer is programmed to reject our cookies, you should still be able to use the real estate search capabilities of our website, but we do not guarantee your ability to do so. We do not have access to any cookies which may be placed in your browser by unaffiliated third-parties.

Disclosure of Personal Information - Personal information or data that is collected for our internal use will not be shared, sold nor traded with any third parties unless (a) you specifically request or authorize such disclosure; (b) the information is necessary to complete a transaction requested or initiated by you; (c) it is compelled or required by law or to conform to legal processes, governmental regulations, court orders, or to protect the copyrights, trademarks and property of any of our companies or we believe, in our sole discretion, that it must be disclosed pursuant to any of the foregoing; (d) it is to protect or defend our rights and those of our affiliated companies; (e) the information is provided to a credit bureau or similar information reporting agency in connection with the completion of your on-line rental application; or (f) it is necessary for personal safety. We comply with all official law enforcement requests for cooperation in disclosing information to assist investigations.

Childrens' Privacy - Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know to be under the age of 13 years. No part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13 years of age.

Follow-Up - Certain personal information may be requested for promotions and surveys in order to continually improve our website and the Hawaii Hatfield Realty's level of service. Although this information is used for demographic and internal purposes, you retain the right to withhold this information.

However, we do not guarantee security and will not be responsible for the misuse or unauthorized use of such information by third parties. Data transmission in appropriate areas is transmitted using updated encryption technology via protected servers. All personally identifiable information is excluded from third-party reports, and such reports are only general in nature. Our business, retail and utility partners are only provided the personal information necessary to provide you with the respective products and services that you request.

Other Websites - Our website may contain links to and from other websites. We do not guarantee that any such websites will respect and protect your personal information in the same manner that we do.
