HiPOINT respects your privacy as a user of this site. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect from you and how we use that information. This policy also details the choices available to you regarding our use of your personal information as well as how you can access and update this information.
What services does the Privacy Policy cover?
This statement applies to all HiPOINT products including the NINES/HiNotify website (www.hinotify.io), as well as all custom domains created for your building to take you to your NINES/HiNotify site. This Privacy Policy also all HiPOINT apps and software.
Customers and Users
Our "Customer" is typically a legal entity representing a building or property. Customers purchase or license one or more products or services that are part of the Platform.
You are a user of the Platform. The NINES/HiNotify, collects information from our Customers and users on behalf of our Customers. There are many types of users, and each one has a unique relationship to the information that we collect. Users can include our Customers' employees (building staff, maintenance personnel, managers, etc.), residents (tenants, owners, subtenants, guests, etc.), service providers (outside contractors, local businesses, etc.) and others. Each of these (and generally anyone who has a NINES/HiNotify username and password) is considered a "Registered User". Some users may not be Registered Users, such as a visitor to our public website.
Most Registered Users will be affiliated with one or more NINES/HiNotify Customers (i.e., your buildings). HiPOINT is the custodian of data on behalf of our Customers, with respect to much of the information we collect. Each Customer also determines its own policies regarding information collection, access, sharing and retention. Please contact the Customer if you have any questions regarding their privacy practices.
The Information we collect
The NINES/HiNotify, collects both personally identifiable information (such as your name or address) and anonymous information (such as your IP address). Most of this information is provided by our Customers or by you, when you use our Platform.
Some information is obtained through your use of our Platform, for example, when we receive error reports or use cookies (see below).
Finally, we receive some information from other Registered Users. An example would be when a Registered User submits or modifies the information and settings for various non-member 3rd parties, such as family members, roommates, or other people who are relevant to the building's management and who they wish to submit through The NINES/HiNotify (e.g. housekeepers, cleaners, caretakers). There may also be personally identifiable information submitted by our Customers about our Registered Users that Registered Users cannot access directly.
The types of information we collect depend on your level of access and engagement with The NINES/HiNotify and can include:
Contact List Information: We may request access to your device's contact list to provide you with certain features or functionalities of the App. This may include collecting contact names, email addresses, phone numbers, and other contact information stored on your device.

We use the contact list information to enable certain features and functionalities within the App, such as facilitating communication between users and to enhance the performance and usability of the application.
