Requests of Information / Directory

It is the policy of New Hope Kahului that member information, including: Name, address, phone, mobile phone and email, will be kept in strict confidence. Please note that any phone requests for member information will only be fulfilled in cases where 1) the membership of the requestor can be verified and 2) the use of such information is deemed acceptable. Member information will not be provided to non-members. New Hope Kahului will also act in full compliance with HIPAA regulations and will not publish information regarding member medical diagnoses or prognoses without the express consent of that member. New Hope Kahului’s site is designed for domestic US use, and we do not knowingly capture or retain information from anyone residing in the EU. In cases where such an event is identified, New Hope Kahului will purge or permission that data according to GDPR guidelines. We realize that membership verification for information requests may be considered an inconvenience to those who call for legitimate purposes. However, the threat of misuse of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is considered too great. In cases where membership and permissible use are not able to be verified, the request will be passed on to the member whose information has been requested for follow-up. Under no circumstances will children’s information be provided. It is the opinion of New Hope Kahului that printed directories are a data security risk. As such, New Hope Kahului will not provide printed membership directories. Our directory is available only to executive level members.

Data Transfer and Security

By using this Site, you consent to Us transferring your personal information outside of the United States to process and store data in accordance with this privacy policy and to provide you with the products or services you requested. Other countries may not have the same data protection safeguards as we have in the United States. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to Us from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no Internet transmission or storage technology can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Therefore, We cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

We do not collect any personal information from anyone who we know to be under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, you should use the Site only under the immediate supervision of a parent or guardian and should not submit any personal information to us.
