Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or date of birth entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates the tool. That provider processes the request and supplies its results. Honolulu County Warrant Records does not retain or log those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained as needed to prepare a response. Messages remain within the organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the servers automatically receive certain technical details about the visit:
- Timestamps associated with page views
- The referring website, when one is available
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them
- Device type and operating system
- Browser name and version
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help show, in aggregate, which pages receive traffic and where visits end. Analytics providers assist with that measurement. A browser can block cookies, though disabling them may change how parts of the site function.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing and correcting technical problems
- Measuring which material visitors use
- Operating the site reliably and efficiently
- Routing search requests to the appropriate partner
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Warrant Data on File
Honolulu County Warrant Records does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a warrant database or personal warrant-record data. It provides general directions to the First Circuit courts, HPD Records and Identification, the Hawaiʻi Department of Law Enforcement Sheriff Division, and eCourt Kōkua. The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor data is never assembled into consumer reports or records about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by the provider's privacy policy, not this policy. Each provider controls its own retention and disclosure practices. Review those terms before entering a search.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to First Circuit court pages, HPD and state sheriff resources, legal-aid organizations, eCourt Kōkua, or outside search tools. Once a visitor follows one, the destination's privacy terms apply. Read them before providing personal details.
Some advertising providers may use activity across websites to tailor ads. That processing occurs through their systems rather than ours.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Information may be available to these limited categories:
- Government or law-enforcement bodies when a valid legal order compels disclosure
- Advertising networks that place ads
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Search partners that process submitted queries
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard security measures are used to protect collected information. No internet system is completely secure, however, so the site cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor appears to have submitted information, contact the site so it can be deleted.
Your Data Rights
Privacy and consumer-protection law applicable in Hawaiʻi may provide additional rights concerning personal data. The Hawaiʻi Uniform Information Practices Act, HRS Chapter 92F, governs access to records held by Hawaiʻi government agencies, but it does not turn this private site into a government record custodian. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Object to certain forms of processing
- Request deletion of personal data
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Request a copy of personal information held about you
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. Any new version will be posted here with an updated effective date, so visitors should review it periodically.
Effective date: September 10, 2026
