Privacy Policy

HikeIt Hawaii provides trail-planning information without requiring a user account on this website. Our server may receive standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps for security, reliability, and aggregate usage measurement.

Weather and trail information

Trail searches and filters are processed to provide the requested experience. Condition estimates combine public trail records and third-party weather or stream data. We do not sell trail searches or precise location information.

Analytics

If analytics is enabled and you grant permission, we use Google Analytics to understand aggregate website usage, including pages and trail details viewed, searches, filters, shares, outbound map or permit links, app-download links and social referrals. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies. We do not intentionally send names, email addresses or precise trail-user locations to Analytics.

Advertising

If advertising is enabled and you grant permission, Google and its partners may place and read cookies on your browser, and use web beacons, IP addresses or other identifiers to deliver, measure, and prevent fraud in advertisements. Learn how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. Advertising is kept separate from weather warnings, access restrictions, maps, driving directions and trail-condition estimates.

Third-party links

The site links to mapping, permitting, land-management, weather, analytics, advertising and other third-party services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
