At Privacy Policy (Vacation Waikiki)
Effective / Last Updated: December 24, 2025
Website: Vacation Waikiki (“we,” “us,” “our”)
At Vacation Waikiki, we respect your privacy and work to be transparent about what information is collected when you visit our website—especially because we use third-party advertising services (including Google AdSense) that may collect data to show ads.
This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how it’s used, and the choices you have.
1) Information We Collect
1.1 Information you provide to us (optional)
We may collect information you voluntarily submit, such as when you:
- fill out a contact form,
- subscribe to a newsletter (if offered),
- send us an email.
This may include things like your name, email address, and the content of your message.
1.2 Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain information when you visit, such as:
- IP address and approximate location (city/region),
- device and browser type,
- operating system,
- pages you view and how you interact with them,
- referring/exit pages,
- date/time of your visit.
This helps us maintain the site, understand what content is useful, and improve performance and security.
2) Cookies, Similar Technologies, and Advertising
2.1 Cookies & similar tech
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We (and third parties) may also use similar technologies such as pixels/web beacons and device identifiers.
2.2 Google AdSense (third-party ads)
We use Google AdSense to display ads. Third-party vendors (including Google) may use cookies or similar technologies to:
- serve ads on our site,
- measure ad performance,
- show ads that may be more relevant based on your visits to this site and/or other websites. (Google Help)
2.3 Personalized vs non-personalized ads
Depending on your location and your choices (including consent where required), ads may be:
- Personalized (based on interests / browsing behavior), or
- Non-personalized (contextual ads not based on past behavior).
In certain regions (such as the EEA/UK/Switzerland), consent and consent-management requirements may apply before personalized ads can be served. (Google Help)
3) How We Use Information
We may use information to:
- operate and maintain the website,
- improve content, usability, and performance,
- monitor and protect against fraud/abuse/security issues,
- respond to inquiries you send us,
- support advertising and analytics functions (including ad measurement and frequency capping).
4) How Information Is Shared
We do not sell your contact information that you voluntarily provide (like messages you send us). However, we do work with vendors and partners who may process data as part of delivering services.
We may share information:
- With service providers that help us run the site (hosting, security, site tools). They are expected to use information only to provide services to us.
- With advertising partners (like Google) for ad delivery, measurement, and related features. (Google Help)
- For legal reasons if required by law, regulation, subpoena, or to protect rights/safety and investigate misuse.
5) Your Choices
You can control certain data collection in these ways:
5.1 Cookie controls
- You can adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies.
- Blocking cookies may affect site functionality and ad experiences.
5.2 Ad personalization controls (Google)
You can manage ad personalization through Google’s ad settings and learn more about how Google uses cookies in advertising. (Google Policies)
5.3 Consent choices (where required)
If you are shown a consent banner (common for visitors in certain regions), you can use it to accept, reject, or manage advertising/measurement cookies. (Google Help)
6) Privacy Rights (Location-Based Disclosures)
Privacy laws vary by location. Depending on where you live, you may have rights such as:
- requesting access to the personal information we hold about you,
- requesting deletion (where applicable),
- correcting inaccurate information,
- opting out of certain data uses (such as targeted advertising).
6.1 California notice (CCPA/CPRA)
California residents may have the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, including sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising (commonly used for targeted ads). (California DOJ)
How to opt out (Vacation Waikiki):
If you are a California resident and would like to submit an opt-out request, contact us using the details in the Contact Us section below. (If we add a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on our site, we’ll honor requests there as well.)
7) Data Retention
We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, such as operating the site, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements.
8) Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. However, no website or internet transmission is 100% secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.
9) Third-Party Links
Our site may link to third-party websites (tours, restaurants, booking tools, etc.). We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
10) Children’s Privacy
Vacation Waikiki is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we’ll take appropriate steps.
11) Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page. The “Last Updated” date above reflects the most recent revision.
