No, they don't "hunt" people normally. I'm not saying a polar bear would never kill a person, they just don't come looking for us. Polar bears eat Ringed or Bearded seals, Beluga whales, walrus, and carrion. They will also eat eggs, birds, reindeer, crabs, and shellfish. But it is rare for a Polar Bear to "hunt" a human. It's said that a good Polar Bear is one you saw first. Giving you time to get out of the way, and prepare to deal with them. They will kill people, and there are recorded events of people being killed by Polar Bears. Most of those were times that people provoked the Polar Bear, either by actions, such as tracking them, then throwing rocks at him. Also not paying attention to what is around you. When you live in Polar Bear territory, you must always be aware of your surroundings, and never get between a mother and her cubs, or food and a hungry Polar Bear. If you do something like that, then the chances are good that a Polar Bear will take action, or attack you, and may very well kill you. But the Polar Bear is not known for hunting people like the Grizzly Bear does. They don't see the human as a food source, except for what we have in our homes, or dumps etc. For more details, please see the sites listed below.
They are one of the few animals that actually go out of their way to hunt humans. Hunters have been attacked in their tents during the night by these creatures. Actual attacks though are still rare. 19 in Russia, 9 in the USA and a dozen or so in Canada make up the total number of attacks. In almost all cases, the attack is fatal.
