Safeguarding your personally identifiable
information
We will only collect personally identifiable
information to the extent deemed reasonably necessary
to serve our legitimate business purposes, and
we will maintain appropriate safeguards to ensure
the security, integrity and privacy of the information
you have provided. In addition, we will take reasonable
steps to assure that third parties to whom we
transfer any data will provide sufficient protection
of that personal information.
Encryption
Big Kahuna Hawaii only collects personal
information from our online visitors using industry
standard SSL encryption to protect your private

number, etc are all protected by highly encrypted
data transfer between you and our servers. If
such information was intercepted by a third party,
the data would be totally unreadable.
A special note about children 12 years
old and under:
Big Kahuna Hawaii encourages parents
and guardians to spend time online with their
children. We urge parents to instruct their children
to never give out their real names, addresses
or phone numbers, without permission, when using
the Internet.
