Search Data and Messages
Search Terms
A name or location entered in a partner search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Hawaii Recent Arrests does not store or log those terms on its own systems. The provider may handle them under its own policy.
Messages
If a visitor sends a message, the site may keep it and related replies so the issue can be addressed. Those messages are not shared outside the site operator unless a legal duty requires disclosure.
Hawaii Site Metrics
When a browser loads a page, technical details may be recorded to operate the service and understand basic use. These may include:
- Internet Protocol (IP) address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on each
- Referring website, when available
- Date and time of each visit
Cookies
Small browser files may help measure site use or keep features working. Browser settings can block or clear cookies. Some parts may act differently when cookies are disabled.
Hawaii Arrest Data Uses
Information handled by this site may be used to:
- Keep pages available and improve load time
- Send a search request to the selected outside provider
- See which public-information pages visitors use
- Find and repair technical faults
- Show advertising that may relate to a visitor's interests
Hawaii Arrest Source Links
Pages may link to county police feeds, DCR and court services, government portals, county sites, news outlets, and outside search tools. When a visitor follows one of those links, that service's own privacy policy applies to information it collects.
Hawaiʻi's Uniform Information Practices Act (UIPA), in HRS chapter 92F, governs access to records held by state and county agencies. It does not make this privately operated site a government records office. The originating agency applies its own disclosure rules to its records.
Hawaii Arrest Data Sharing
The site does not sell personal information. Information may be handled by the following service providers or recipients:
- Search partners that process search terms
- Analytics services that report site use
- Advertising networks that display ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Data Security
Reasonable security steps are used to protect information under the site's control. No internet-connected service can promise that every system or transfer is secure, and no breach-proof guarantee is made.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent information, a parent or guardian may ask that it be removed through the same channel used to send it.
Personal Data Rights
A visitor may ask what information the site holds about them and may request a copy, correction, or deletion. A visitor may also ask that certain site-side processing stop. Requests about a partner's search box or data must go to that provider, which controls its own records.
For a message sent directly to the site, use the same communication channel for a data request. A request to this site cannot change an arrest, court, or corrections record held by a Hawaiʻi public agency.
Privacy Policy Changes
These practices may change as the service changes. A revised policy will appear here with a new effective date. Continued use after an update means the visitor accepts the revised practices.
