Last updated: September 2026
VentureHawaii.com is a travel guide focused on the Big Island of Hawaii. The site is operated as an independent publication and is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. You can reach us through our contact page.
Information you give us. If you subscribe to our newsletter we collect your email address. If you use the contact form we collect your name, email address and the message you send. We do not ask for payment details, and we never collect them.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our third-party providers collect technical data as you browse: pages visited, approximate location derived from your IP address, browser and device type, referring site, and how you interact with pages.
Newsletter subscriptions and contact form submissions are stored in a Cloudflare D1 database. Contact form submissions also trigger a notification email sent through Resend, an email delivery provider. Data is stored in the United States.
These services operate on this site and collect data under their own privacy policies:
We and the services above use cookies and similar technologies for analytics, advertising and affiliate attribution. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work, though some features and measurement will not.
This site contains affiliate links. We participate in TravelPayouts (covering flights, accommodation and tours) and the Amazon Associates programme. If you book or buy through our links we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This does not influence which places we recommend.
To send the newsletter if you subscribed, to reply to messages you send us, to understand which content is useful, and to keep the site working and secure. We do not sell your personal information.
Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove them. Contact form submissions are kept while we deal with your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards. Analytics data is retained according to each provider's own settings.
You can ask us to tell you what personal data we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. To unsubscribe from the newsletter, or to request deletion of any data, contact us through the contact page and we will action it.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or the CCPA. We honour these requests regardless of where you are.
This site is intended for adults planning travel. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
We may update this policy as the site changes. The date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
