Privacy Policy
How Mr Hilo handles data, cookies, and analytics, and the choices you have.
This privacy policy explains what information Mr Hilo collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. We aim to collect as little as possible.
Information we collect
Mr Hilo is a static website. We do not ask you to create an account or submit personal information. If you enable analytics, we collect anonymous, aggregated usage data such as which pages are viewed and general location at the country or region level.
Cookies and analytics
We use a privacy-respecting analytics setup that loads only after you consent. Analytics cookies are disabled by default. You can accept or decline analytics using the cookie banner, and you can change your choice by clearing your browser storage for this site.
Affiliate links
Some links are affiliate links. When you click them, the destination site may set its own cookies to track the referral. Those cookies are governed by the partner's privacy policy, not ours. See our affiliate disclosure.
Third-party services
When you follow a link to a booking partner or an official source, you leave Mr Hilo and are subject to that site's privacy practices. We encourage you to review their policies.
Your choices
You can decline analytics cookies, use browser privacy features, and contact us with any privacy questions at aloha@mrhilo.com.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site changes. The date at the top reflects the most recent update.
We research each guide against primary sources: the Hawaii Tourism Authority and Mālama Hawaii, the National Park Service, the State of Hawaii and its Division of State Parks, the National Weather Service, and the U.S. Census. For culture, language, and history we lean on the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, the Bishop Museum, and the scholarship of Mary Kawena Pukui. We send readers to those sources rather than speaking over them. When rules, prices, or conditions change, we update the page.
