Website Visitors
Like most website operators, WBR collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and

visitors use its website. From time to time, WBR may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g.,
by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

and for users leaving comments on WaikikiBanyan.com and social media platforms. WBR only discloses logged in user

administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

information required to process those transactions. In each case, WBR collects such information only insofar as is
necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with WBR. WBR does not disclose
personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply
personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related
