At hawaiiglobe.com we care about your privacy. That’s why we only collect personal data if we have a good reason to do so. That’s also why we want to communicate transparently about what we do with your personal data. Here it goes…

hawaiiglobe.com can be reached via the contact form.

Which personal data do we collect and why?

If you just visit our website we do not collect any personal data. Basically, we will only collect personal data in the following instances:

If you ask us a question using the chatbot, a contact form or e-mail,
If you subscribe to our free or paid plans,
If you subscribe to our newsletter,

That’s it. Below you can also find what type of personal data we collect, what we use it for and how long we will keep it, so there will be no surprises:

Your first and last name, Your address & Your company details

Pretty logical. We cannot be sure to address you correctly if we don’t know who you are; and if you enter into a contract with us we will need to make sure we know who we are dealing with as is the case if you apply for a job with us. We will keep this information in our customer or candidate database for as long as you do not object to us keeping it. If you no longer want us to keep this information, you can always let us know.

Please do note that for as long as we have an ongoing contract we are not be able to remove this information from our databases as we will need it to execute the contract.

And even after our contract has ended, we may be under a legal information to hold on to some of this information for a bit longer. For example: under accounting legislation we must keep copies of our invoices which may mention your name or address.

Phone number & E-mail address

This is so we can easily contact you. In principle, we will never contact you unless it is to answer a question, if we are working on an assignment for you or if you have applied for a job with us. If we think we have a really good offer for you, we may exceptionally also contact you.

We may also use your e-mail address to send you our newsletter. We do not want to spam you and we understand if you would rather not receive any newsletters. If that is the case, you can always let us know or you can unsubscribe from our mailing list using the link you can find at the bottom of each newsletter.

In addition, we may use a custom audience tool from third party advertisers LinkedIn and Twitter that allows us to personalize our ads based on your shopping experience with us. These tools work by converting your e-mail address to a unique number that third party advertiser can match to unique numbers from e-mail addresses of its users. You can read more about this application on the privacy statement of Twitter and LinkedIn.

As is the case for your name and address, we will also keep your e-mail address and your phone number in our customer or candidate database for as long as you do not object to us keeping it. If you no longer want us to keep this information, you can also always let us know.

Please do note that for as long as we have an ongoing contract we are not able to remove this information from our databases as we will need it to execute the contract. And even after our contract has ended, we may be under a legal obligation to hold on to some of this information for a bit longer. For example: under accounting legislation we must keep copies of our invoices which may mention your e-mail address.

IP-address, Preferences & Data provided in the application

If you enter into an agreement with us, you will get access to an application. If you make use of the application, we may collect other personal data such as your IP-address or your browsing preferences (for example: language preference), as well as other personal data that you might provide us with through the application. This information will help us tailor our services to you.

If you stop using our services, we will only keep this data for a period of 120 days after the end date of our contract with you (during which you will still have access to the application). After that period of time, we will delete these data.
How do we protect your personal data?

You can rest assured: we take measures to ensure that your personal data is kept personal!
We work hard to protect your personal data against unauthorized access or disclosure. In order to do so, we take organizational measures ensuring that access to your data is restricted to those employees or agent who need to have access to it in order to help us process it. We are a tech company, so it won’t surprise you we also take a whole range of technical measures to protect your data. Technical measures include, for example encrypting any personal information (in transit and at rest), user access management and penetration testing. If you want more information about the measures we take, you can always contact us.

Do we share your data with others?

We will never sell your personal data to another party. We do use the services of the following external data processors

We have entered into a data processing agreement with each of these external data processors which obliges them to only process your personal data based on our instructions and in compliance with this privacy policy. These data processors will also have to take sufficient precautions to prevent the loss of your data. All of these external data processors are based in the United States and have certified their compliance with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework, which means they will respect comparable data protection standards as those that apply in Europe.

You should know that in the following exceptional circumstances your data could also be shared with others:

If we are under a legal obligation to share data with the authorities or if we have to share data to comply with an enforceable government request, we don’t have much of a choice and we will share the data the authorities ask for, which may include yours.
If another company decides to buy the shares of our company or decides to buy the website hawaiiglobe.com from us, we will of course have to transfer your data to that company. That company will then take over all obligations under this privacy policy.
