Privacy, plainly.
We collect almost nothing. We don't sell anything. Here is the short version, written without lawyers — and a few notes specific to running a nail salon.

What we collect on this website
- A newsletter email address — only when you subscribe. Used to send the occasional letter from the salon, and stored with our email service provider so we can deliver it.
- Anonymous page analytics — page views and basic device info via a cookieless, privacy-first analytics service. No individual tracking. No way to identify you from it.
That is the whole list. We don't ask for your name, phone number, address, birthday, or anything else just to read the site.
What we don't collect
- No first-party cookies.
- No third-party ad trackers — no Google Ads, no Meta Pixel, no TikTok pixel, no remarketing.
- No social-media pixels.
- No location tracking beyond your IP address, which our hosting provider uses to keep the site online and serve it from a nearby data center.
- No data sales. Ever. Not now, not later, not "in aggregate."
How site analytics work
We use a cookieless, privacy-first analytics service to count page visits and tell roughly which pages people find useful. It does not place a tracking cookie on your device — traffic is aggregated by our hosting provider at the edge.
We see numbers like "the gallery had 412 views last month." We do not see — and cannot see — who those 412 visitors were, what else they browsed, or how to reach them.
The newsletter
When you subscribe, your email is handed to our email service provider, who stores it on our behalf and handles delivery of the letters. We don't send your address anywhere else.
Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link. You can also email us and we'll remove you within 24 hours. Once you unsubscribe, your address is purged from our list on the next maintenance pass.
Booking handoff
When you tap "Book Online," you leave this site for our booking partner. Anything you type into their booking form (your name, phone, the appointment you pick) is governed by their privacy practices, not ours. We don't see your booking details on this site.
When you arrive at the salon, the front desk sees your appointment in the booking system — same as any salon. We treat that information the way nail salons have always treated it: quietly, kept among the team, and only used to look after your visit.
In the salon (different rules apply)
This policy covers the website. Once you step into Hawaii Nails, the things a nail salon needs to know are handled face-to-face, in person:
- Allergies and skin sensitivities — please tell your technician before service. We'll suggest safer products (acrylic alternatives, hypoallergenic polishes, fragrance-free lotions) where we can.
- Pregnancy, recent surgery, diabetes, or circulation conditions — let us know so we can adjust pedicure water temperature, pressure, and tools.
- Photos of finished nails — we may take a phone photo of completed work for our portfolio or social accounts. We'll always ask first, and a "no thanks" never affects your service.
- Payment — handled by our in-shop card terminal. Card numbers are never stored on this website.
Your rights
You can ask us to access, correct, or delete any information we hold about you — which, for the website, is almost certainly just a newsletter email. We'll do it free of charge and respond within 30 days.
If you live somewhere with formal privacy laws (California's CCPA, the EU's GDPR, and similar frameworks), those rights apply here too. Email us, tell us what you want, and we'll honor it.
Updates to this policy
If we materially change what we collect or how we use it, we update the date stamp at the top of this page and — if you're on the newsletter — send a short note about it. No surprise changes, no buried fine print.
