Notice of Security Breach.
- In the event a Security Breach (as defined below) involving unauthorized access to and acquisition of unencrypted or unredacted records or data containing Personal Information (as defined below) where illegal use of the Personal Information has occurred, or is reasonably likely to occur and that creates a risk of harm to a person, notice will be provided to affected persons in the following manner, subject to the legitimate needs of law enforcement if informed by law enforcement of the need to delay notification to further a criminal investigation or prevent jeopardizing national security in compliance with Section 487N-2(c), Hawaii Revised Statutes, and necessary and appropriate countermeasures and corrective measures will be taken.
For purposes of this notice, “Personal information” is information about an individual that includes the person's first name or first initial and last name in combination with any one or more of the following data elements, when either the name or the data elements are not encrypted:
(1) Social security number;
(2) Driver's license number or Hawaii identification card number; or
(3) Account number, credit or debit card number, access code, or password that would permit access to an individual's financial account.
“Personal information” does not include publicly available information that is lawfully made available to the general public from federal, state, or local government records.
“Security breach” means an incident of unauthorized access to and acquisition of unencrypted or unredacted records or data containing personal information where illegal use of the personal information has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur and that creates a risk of harm to a person. Any incident of unauthorized access to and acquisition of encrypted records or data containing personal information along with the confidential process or key constitutes a security breach. Good faith acquisition of personal information by an employee or agent of the business for a legitimate purpose is not a security breach, provided that the personal information is not used for a purpose other than a lawful purpose of the business and is not subject to further unauthorized disclosure.
In the event a security breach involves more than one thousand persons at one time, we will notify in writing, without unreasonable delay, the State of Hawaii's Office of Consumer Protection and all consumer reporting agencies that compile and maintain files on consumers on a nationwide basis, as defined in 15 U.S.C. section 1681a(p), of the timing, distribution, and content of the notice.
The Notice will include information on:
(1) The breach incident in general terms;
(2) The type of personal information that was subject to the unauthorized access and acquisition;
(3) The general acts of the Company to protect the personal information from further unauthorized access;
(4) A telephone number that the person may call for further information and assistance, if one exists; and
(5) Advice that directs the person to remain vigilant by reviewing account statements and monitoring free credit reports.
The Notice to affected persons will be provided by one of the following methods:
(1) Written notice to the last available address the Company has on record;
(2) Electronic mail notice, for those persons for whom the Company has a valid electronic mail address and who have agreed to receive communications electronically if the notice provided is consistent with the provisions regarding electronic records and signatures for notices legally required to be in writing set forth in 15 U.S.C. section 7001;
(3) Telephonic notice, provided that contact is made directly with the affected persons; or
(4) If it would cost more than $100,000 to provide notice, or more than 200,000 people are affected, or if we do not have sufficient contact information or consent to provide notice in writing, electronic mail, or telephonic notice, for only those affected persons without sufficient contact information or consent, or if unable to identify particular affected persons, for only those unidentifiable affected persons, substitute notice may be provided by providing all of the following:
(A) Electronic mail notice when to the subject persons for whom we have an electronic mail address on file;
(B) Conspicuous posting of the notice on our website; and
(C) Notification to major statewide media.
Disposal. In accordance with law, we will take reasonable measures to protect against unauthorized access to or use of the information in connection with or after its disposal, including:
・implementing and monitoring compliance with policies and procedures that require the destruction of personal information, electronic media, and other non-paper media in a manner that the information cannot be practicably read or reconstructed; and/or
・describing procedures relating to the adequate destruction or proper disposal of personal records as standard procedure in the writings of the business entity, including requiring the shredding of hard copies of documents containing personal information prior to its disposal.
Users under 18 Our services are not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. We take reasonable steps to prevent the collection of data from individuals under 18. If we inadvertently collect such data, it will be securely deleted as soon as it is discovered. -

・to agents, website vendors and/or contractors who may use it on our behalf or in connection with their relationship with us;

・as required by law, in a matter of public safety or policy, as needed in connection with the transfer of our business assets (for example, if we are acquired by another firm or if we are liquidated during bankruptcy proceedings), or if we believe in good faith that sharing the data is necessary to protect our rights or property. -
