Information Sent Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the search tool. The operator of this reference does not keep or log those search terms on its own system, but the partner may process them under its own notice, terms, retention rules, and pricing.
Messages and Contact Details
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information supplied in that message is kept as needed to read it, respond, protect the service, or meet a legal duty. It is not shared outside the organization for unrelated marketing unless the sender permits that use or disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data and Cookies
Routine page delivery can create technical records. Depending on the hosting, analytics, and security services in use, those records may include:
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on each page.
- Referring page or site, when available.
- Request timestamps and basic error information.
Cookie Choices
Cookies or similar tools may help understand how visitors use the pages, remember a setting, maintain a session, measure referrals, or support advertising. Browser controls can block or delete cookies. Some search or page features may behave differently when they are blocked.
How Information Is Used
Information may be used to:
- Keep the pages available, secure, and responsive.
- Send search requests to the selected partner service.
- Measure which content is useful and improve navigation.
- Find errors, abuse, fraud, or technical failures.
- Display advertising or referral content that may relate to visitor interests.
These purposes do not turn this private reference into an official records repository. Government agencies, courts, corrections offices, and linked publishers have their own information practices.
Links to Other Services
Pages link to MPD, County of Maui, DCR, Judiciary, federal locators, local news outlets, and third-party search or records resources. Once a visitor leaves this domain, the linked service's own privacy notice controls its collection and use. The operator cannot promise the accuracy, security, uptime, or data practices of an outside service.
Some advertising or referral partners may recognize activity across sites through their own cookies or similar tools. That tracking occurs on their systems and is governed by their notices, not by this reference's control.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold by the operator as a standalone mailing list. Information may nevertheless be available to the parties needed to operate the service or respond to a lawful demand:
- Search partners that process a query submitted in their widget.
- Hosting, security, analytics, and technical service providers.
- Advertising networks or referral partners, under their own rules.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order or duty requires disclosure.
Security Limits
Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures are used for information under the operator's control. No internet-connected service is completely secure, and no promise is made that transmission, storage, or a third-party system will be breach-proof. Visitors should avoid putting sensitive personal or case information into a message unless it is needed for a response.
Visitors Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly seek personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent personal data, a parent or guardian may use the Get in Touch page to ask that it be reviewed or deleted, subject to legal and operational limits.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification of identity, a visitor may ask what personal information is held, request a copy, seek correction of an error, ask for deletion, or object to a particular processing practice. A request can be limited by a legal retention duty, a security need, another person's rights, or the records held by a third-party provider.
- Ask for a copy of information maintained for the requester.
- Point out an incorrect contact detail or message record.
- Request deletion where no legal or operational reason requires retention.
- Ask how to opt out of a particular referral, advertising, or analytics practice.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised when the service, vendors, law, or data practices change. The revised version will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use after an update means the visitor has received the revised notice, subject to any rights that cannot be waived.
