PRIVACY POLICY

 

Information We Collect:

 

HighJinks collects non-personally identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. HighJinksÕs purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how HighJinks visitors use its website. From time to time, HighJinks may release non-personally identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

 

HighJinks primarily collects real estate transaction related personal identifying information.  This includes personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected by us; transactional information collected by us as you interact with our services; usage information that is collected by our servers as you use our applications; and information related to third party services that you would like to access through our applications and services.  By accepting the Privacy Policy and the User Agreement in registration, you expressly consent to our use and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.  This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to the terms of the HighJinks Terms of Use Agreement.  This Privacy Policy is effective upon acceptance in registration for new registering users.

 

Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with a safe, secure online application which will assist you in sending and signing documents, communicating, and streamlining the real estate transaction to achieve a smooth and efficient closing.  In order to do so, HighJinks must collect information to identify users, and to allow our users to identify each other.  We only collect information about you that we consider necessary for achieving this purpose.

 

Certain visitors to HighJinksÕs website choose to interact with HighJinks in ways that require HighJinks to gather personally identifying information. The amount and type of information that HighJinks gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account on http://HighJinks.com to provide a username and email address. In each case, HighJinks collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitorÕs interaction with HighJinks.  HighJinks does not disclose personally identifying information other than as described below. And Users must supply personally identifying information, with the caveat, that failure to do so may prevent them from engaging in certain website related services.

 

Use of Information Obtained by HighJinks

 

When you register with HighJinks, you provide us with certain personal information, such as your name, username, your email address and any other personal or preference information that you provide to us. When you launch or interact with a HighJinks application, we collect your device type and IP address. This information is gathered for all users. In addition, we use the unique Device ID (ŌUUIDĶ) that vendors such as Apple and Android licensees makes available for each device in order to authenticate the user session. This UUID functions similarly to a persistent cookie to make it possible to authenticate the user without the need for a password.

 

When you register with HighJinks, you create your own profile. Your name, username and email address are displayed to other HighJinks users to enable you to connect with people on HighJinks. We expect that you will use the name which you are most commonly known by and reflected in the transactional documents. We may occasionally use your username or email address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by HighJinks that we think you may find valuable. Your profile can be shared across all of the applications in the HighJinks portfolio. As a previously registered user, when you download and access a new HighJinks application, your user profile is automatically incorporated into that new application.

 

When you use HighJinks applications, you may set up your personal profile, form transactional based roles for yourself and other transactional parties, send messages, and transmit information through various channels. We collect this information so that we can provide you the service and offer personalized features. In most cases, we retain it so that, for instance, you can return to view prior documents or messages you have posted or easily see the list of transactional parties. When you update information, we usually keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to enable reversion to the prior version of that information.

 

HighJinks may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. For instance, if another User posts a new amendment, you may receive an email or other notification alerting you to that fact. These announcements may also relate to new product launches or other relevant information about HighJinks and the services we provide. HighJinks may use information in your profile or related to your activities on HighJinks applications in order to personalize the application experience for you and other transactional users. HighJinks may also share information such as user trends, application download, and transactional information in aggregate to third parties by identifying you as an individual with relation to all information that would readily be available through public records upon the close of any transaction.

 

Any and all User Content that you provide through HighJinks services is at your own risk. We cannot control the actions of other Users with whom you may choose to share your information. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that User Content you post with HighJinks will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained in HighJinks services.

HighJinks stores this information to send this one-time invitation, to register a new connection if your invitation is accepted, and to track the success of our referral program. The person you invited may contact us at info@HighJinks.com to request that we remove this information from our databases.  In order to facilitate interaction among all HighJinks members, our Services may allow you limited access to other usersÕ contact and authentication status information.

In addition, under no circumstances, except as defined in this Section, can you disclose personal information about another user to any third party without our consent and the consent of that user.  You agree that other users may use your personal information to communicate with you in accordance with this Section.  HighJinks may also collect information about you from other sources, such as, blogs, messaging services, and other users of HighJinks applications through the operation of the service in order to provide you with more useful information and a more personalized experience by using HighJinks, you are consenting to have your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States.
