Personal Information We Have Sold

We do not sell your personal information. We do not sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.

Access To And Control Over The Use Of Your Personal Information

Submitting a Request to Know or Request to Delete on Your Behalf or on Behalf of Your Minor Child

You may make a Request to Know or a Request to Delete on your behalf or on behalf of your minor child by either:   

  1. Calling us toll free at 1-888-643-3888; or
  2. Clicking the “Submit a Request” link and filling in the information requested.

Your Request to Know or Request to Delete must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that the consumer that is the subject of the request is the person about whom we collected personal information.  Given the sensitivity of your personal information that we collect and retain, we will need to verify your identity with at least 3 separate pieces of information.

Pursuant to California Civil Code section 1798.130(b), we are not required to respond to a Request to Know from the same consumer more than twice in a twelve (12) month period.

Authorized Agents

A person authorized by you to act on your behalf, or an entity registered with the California Secretary of State and authorized by you to act on your behalf, may make a Request to Know or Request to Delete on your behalf. Before we can respond to a verifiable consumer request submitted by an authorized agent, we need to confirm that person or entity’s authority to act on behalf of a consumer and verify the identity of the authorized agent. 

Your authorized agent may submit a Request to Know or Request to Delete on your behalf by contacting us at PrivacyCCPARequests@boh.com or 1-888-643-3888.  Your authorized agent will need to provide the following information:

  1. A copy of one or more of the following to verify the agent’s authorization to make a request on your behalf:
  • California Secretary of State authorization;
  • Written permission from the California resident; and/or
  • Power of attorney.
  1. Documentation of your agent’s identity:
  • Valid government-issued identification (not expired); AND
  • A utility bill, bank statement, or similar documentation to verify your name and address.
  1. Your agent will also be required to verify your identity.

We cannot respond to your agent’s request or provide your agent with personal information if we cannot verify your agent’s identity or authority to make the request and confirm that you are the person about whom we collected personal information.

Use of Information in a Consumer Request

We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

Response Time

We will acknowledge receipt of the request within 10 business days of its receipt.  We will further respond to the request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.  Any response to a Request to Know will only cover the preceding 12 months. If applicable, the response will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a Request to Know or Request to Delete. For Requests to Know specific pieces of information (as opposed to categories), we will provide the responsive information in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily useable format that allows you to transmit the information to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to Requests to Know or Requests to Delete unless a request is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
