Data and checklist use
The site does not offer user accounts or accept incident reports. Newsletter signup is optional and separate from the public resources. Search filters and property-checklist responses are processed in your browser. This release does not submit those inputs to a HawaiiCrime.com database or store them after you reload.
Weekly Brief subscriptions
Newsletter signup is optional. The signup form is supplied by Beehiiv and sends your email address, consent, and signup-source information directly to Beehiiv, which manages your subscription. New signups are not added to the earlier website subscriber database. Beehiiv processes your email address and subscription information under its privacy policy. We use subscriber records to send the Hawaii Crime Weekly Brief and occasional partner offers included in the newsletter. Signing up does not enroll you in a partner’s separate mailing list.
You can unsubscribe using the link in a newsletter email. See beehiiv’s privacy policy for information about its processing.
Signups submitted through our earlier website form may remain in HawaiiCrime.com’s private hosted database, together with subscription status, signup source, consent and timestamps. Existing personal unsubscribe links continue to work for those records. Those earlier records have not automatically been transferred to beehiiv.
Newsletter prompt preferences
This browser can remember that you signed up or saw the newsletter invitation. These local preferences prevent repeated prompts and contain no email address. Clearing browser storage resets them.
Site delivery
The hosting provider may process technical request information needed to deliver and protect the website. Fonts are requested from Google Fonts, which receives network requests when the site loads. Google Analytics 4 measures page visits, referrals, and website interactions. It may use cookies and browser identifiers and process device and browser information. Newsletter email addresses and property-checklist answers are not intentionally sent to Google Analytics. Beehiiv attribution tracking records campaign-source information associated with newsletter signups. See Google’s privacy policy for information about its processing. Video thumbnail images are requested from YouTube’s image service. When you select Play, an embedded YouTube player loads and may process technical request data under the provider’s privacy practices.
External sites
Agency, reporting, and news links take you to other websites. Those websites have their own privacy practices. Review them before submitting information.
Public records
The incident explorer uses a public-data snapshot. Sensitive incident locations are excluded as described in the methodology.
