Privacy Policy Notice

We Value Your Business And Respect Your Expectation Of Privacy

In the normal course of business, Hawaii National Bank collects nonpublic personal information about you. “Nonpublic personal information” is information about you that we obtain in connection with providing a financial product or service to you. For example, nonpublic personal information includes information regarding your account balance, payment history and overdraft history. Protecting your privacy is vitally important to us. At Hawaii National Bank, it is our policy that all nonpublic personal information will be held in the strictest confidence. We do not disclose information about our customers or former customers to nonaffiliated third parties (i.e., third parties that are not members of our corporate family) except as permitted by law. We want you to understand what information we collect and how we use it. This notice describes our privacy policy, practices and how we protect your nonpublic personal information.


What Information We Collect

In order to provide our customers with a broad range of financial products and services as effectively and conveniently as possible, we may collect nonpublic personal information about you from the following sources:

  • Information we receive from you on applications or other loan and account forms, such as name, address, social security number and employment data;
  • Information about your transactions with us, or others, such as account balance and payment history;
  • Information, such as credit history, and public records which we receive from third parties such as credit bureaus.
  • Information you provide online, such as customization and other preferences on the bank’s website, or via electronic mail. We also collect and analyze non-personal identifiable information in the aggregate to determine online services usage.


What Information We Disclose and to Whom

We control and limit the sharing of information about you.

  • We are permitted by law to disclose nonpublic personal information about you to nonaffiliated third parties in certain circumstances. For example, we may disclose information described above to third parties to assist us in servicing your account or loan with us, to government entities in response to subpoenas, and to credit bureaus, or when you ask us to disclose this information.
  • We do not share medical or health information with anyone, unless necessary to process transactions or to provide services you have requested or initiated.
  • We may disclose nonpublic personal information we receive from you on your application or other forms, such as your name and address, with other financial institutions with which we have joint marketing arrangements.
  • We require these financial institutions to keep your nonpublic personal information confidential, and to use the information only for the purpose intended.
  • We may disclose nonpublic personal information about you, such as your name and address, to the following types of nonaffiliated third parties: non-financial companies such as retailers, direct marketers, airlines and publishers.
  • We will require these non-financial companies to keep your nonpublic personal information confidential, and to use the information only for the purpose intended. While we believe that the sharing of nonpublic personal information with nonaffiliated third parties provides us with the opportunity to offer you a greater selection of financial services and products, you can request that we do not disclose nonpublic personal information about you to such nonaffiliated third parties. You may direct us not to make those disclosures (other than disclosures as permitted by law) by completing our Opt Out Form and returning it to Hawaii National Bank, Attention: Privacy Officer, P. O. Box 3740, Honolulu, Hawaii 96812-3740. Or you may call the Privacy Officer on Oahu at (808) 528-7847, or from the neighbor islands and the continental U.S., at (800) 997-2293. Your opt-out is effective until we receive a signed statement from you revoking it. If you have a joint account, your request to opt-out will be considered an opt-out on behalf of all account holders.
  • If you decide to close your account(s) or become an inactive customer, we will continue to adhere to the privacy policies and practices described in this notice.
