Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 13, 2026

Destination Kona Coast (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you use this website, how it is used, and your choices.

Information We May Process

We aim to collect as little personal information as possible.

This may include:

  • information you choose to submit through our contact form, such as your name, email address, and message;
  • basic technical information automatically generated when you visit the site, such as IP address, browser type, device information, and server request details;
  • information processed by third-party services if you use interactive features such as maps, route planning, or embedded content.

How We Use Information

We use information only to:

  • respond to inquiries you send through the contact form;
  • operate, maintain, and secure the website;
  • troubleshoot technical issues;
  • support optional interactive features you choose to use.

We do not sell your personal information.

Contact Form

If you contact us through the website, we use the information you provide only to review and respond to your message.

We do not use contact form submissions for marketing unless you clearly opt in.

We do not intend to store contact form submissions in the website database unless that functionality is added later. However, submitted information may still pass through hosting, email, spam filtering, security, or related systems in order to deliver your message.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We do not currently intend to use advertising or analytics cookies of our own.

However, some third-party features, including maps, route planning, or embedded content, may use cookies or similar technologies. If non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any required notice or consent options.

Third-Party Services

Some website features may rely on third-party services. If you use maps, route-planning tools, or other embedded features, those providers may process technical information such as your IP address, browser information, device data, and interactions with the feature.

If a feature requests access to your location, it will do so only if you choose to allow it through your browser or device settings.

Third-party services are governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

Legal Basis for Processing

Where GDPR applies, we rely on appropriate legal bases, including:

  • legitimate interests, such as operating and securing the website and responding to inquiries;
  • steps taken at your request, such as when you contact us for information;
  • consent, where required for non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

Data Sharing

We do not sell or rent personal information.

We may share limited information with service providers only as needed to operate the website or respond to inquiries, such as hosting providers, email providers, security tools, spam filtering services, and map or routing providers.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was received, including responding to inquiries, maintaining security, and meeting legal or operational obligations.

Your Rights

Where applicable, including under GDPR, you may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of your personal data, and to withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing.

To make a privacy-related request, please contact us through the website contact form.

International Transfers

Some service providers may process information outside your country. Where required, appropriate safeguards will be used.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information handled through the website. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
