This Privacy Policy explains how Honolulu Travels (the “Site,” “we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit honolulutravels.com or interact with our content.
If you do not agree with this Policy, please stop using the Site.
1) What we collect
Information you provide
We collect information you choose to send us, such as:
- Contact details (name, email address) and the content of your message if you email us or use a contact form
- Comments you submit (if comments are enabled), including the information shown on the comment form
- Any other information you include voluntarily in your message
Information collected automatically
When you browse the Site, certain data is collected automatically, such as:
- Device and browser info (browser type, operating system, language, screen size)
- Usage data (pages viewed, time on page, referring/exit pages, clicks)
- Approximate location (city/region level, based on IP address)
- IP address (often used for security, fraud prevention, and analytics)
This information is usually collected through cookies and similar technologies (explained below).
2) Cookies and tracking technologies
We use cookies and similar tools to:
- Keep the Site working properly
- Understand which content is useful and improve performance
- Measure traffic and engagement
- Support affiliate tracking (so referrals can be credited properly)
Types of cookies you may see
- Essential cookies: help the Site function (security, basic features)
- Analytics cookies: help us understand traffic and page performance
- Affiliate cookies: used by affiliate partners to attribute a booking or purchase to our Site
Managing cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings (block, delete, or limit cookies). If you disable cookies, parts of the Site may not work as intended.
If the Site uses a cookie consent banner, you can also manage non-essential cookies there.
3) Analytics
We use analytics to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve content. If enabled, analytics tools may collect information like the pages you visited, time spent, and general device information.
You can usually opt out by blocking cookies in your browser, using a privacy-focused browser, or enabling “Do Not Track” settings. Some analytics providers also offer opt-out tools.
4) Affiliate links and third-party booking partners (including Viator)
Some pages include affiliate links. This means:
- If you click an affiliate link and book a tour or make a purchase, we may earn a commission
- You do not pay extra because of the commission
- The purchase is processed by the third-party provider, not by us
Viator (a Tripadvisor company) is one of the booking partners that may appear on the Site. When you click through to Viator or any other third-party platform, your information is handled under their privacy policy and terms. We do not control how those third parties collect or use your data.
5) How we use your information
We use information we collect to:
- Operate and maintain the Site
- Respond to messages and support requests
- Improve content, layout, and user experience
- Monitor and protect the Site (security, spam prevention, fraud detection)
- Measure performance of content and affiliate links
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information.
6) When we share information
We may share information in limited situations, including:
- Service providers who help run the Site (hosting, analytics, spam protection, email delivery, website performance tools)
- Affiliate partners for referral tracking when you click an affiliate link
- Legal and security reasons if required to comply with law, enforce our terms, or protect rights and safety
- Business changes (for example, if the Site is sold or merged, data may transfer as part of that transaction)
We only share what is reasonably necessary for those purposes.
7) Data retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy, including:
- Responding to your inquiry
- Maintaining records for security and legal compliance
- Keeping basic analytics history to understand Site performance
You can request deletion of messages you’ve sent us (see “Your rights” below). Some data may still remain in backups or server logs for a limited period.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:
- Request access to the personal information we have about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of certain information
- Object to, or request restriction of, certain processing
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
To make a request, contact us using the details in the “Contact” section. We may ask you to verify your identity before acting on requests.
9) Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. You use the Site at your own risk.
10) Children’s privacy
The Site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
11) Third-party links
The Site may link to other websites (tour operators, maps, restaurants, booking platforms). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Review their policies before providing personal information.
