Who We Are
We are an independent academic research project started right here in Keaʻau, Hawaii called the “Mobile Data Atlas of Hawaii”. Our website address is: https://higeomancer.org.
Our research project uses free and open source applications and mobile data provided by SafeGraph through a non-commercial data license agreement to develop a series of information projects on the decline and recovery of local businesses in the State of Hawaii. Our research objective is to survey local Hawaiian business owners, business advocates, local government decision makers, and affected or interested parties to determine what mobile data information products they themselves would find most useful in helping local Hawaiian businesses continue to adapt in wake of the economic impacts of COVID-19.
Survey Responses
We plan to use survey responses to identify what kinds of mobile data information products are more likely to be used by their intended audiences, as well as what information products people across the State of Hawaii would like to see developed in the future.
We ask survey responders to identify what category they fall into, e.g., local Hawaiian business owners versus business advocates. Survey responders are encouraged, but not required, to provide their name and e-mail. Respondents who provide information consent to having this website store submitted information. Survey respondents who choose not to provide a name and e-mail remain anonymous. We do not ask for personal information and do not share submitted information with anyone except to comply with the law or protect our rights.
We used WPForms to improve compliance with laws requiring explicit consent before collecting or storing user data, or allowing the user to request access to or deletion of that data such as the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). WPForms includes built-in features including GDPR compliant data retention best practices and a data entry management system to quickly find, export, or delete user data upon request.

Where we send your data
