Website Privacy Policy

NorthStar Alarm Services (“North Star”) values your privacy. To that end, we strive to provide a safe, secure online user experience for you.

In this Privacy Policy (“Policy”), we describe how we collect, use, and disclose the information that we obtain about users of http://northstaralarm.ca (our “Website”). By using our Services, you accept this Policy.

The Policy does not apply to information we collect in ways other than directly from the Website.

Like other companies, NorthStar collects information from many sources on the Internet: for example, from lead generation ads on Facebook and other sites. This Policy does not apply to information collected from such other sites.

Information Protection

NorthStar does not share customer information about you with outside companies, except as permitted by law or as set forth hereafter in this Policy.

NorthStar has strict standards and procedures designed to prevent unauthorized access to information. We apply these standards and procedures to our facilities and online services, as described in more detail in this Policy. Our safeguards meet or exceed federal standards for protecting consumer information. We permit only authorized employees, who have been trained in the proper handling of information, to have access to that information. If an employee were to violate NorthStar’s privacy procedures, they would be subject to disciplinary action.

You can also tell us not to share certain information within the North Star family of companies, and not to use information for marketing purposes within the family of companies.

More Regarding the Disclosure of Personal Information to Others

We do not disclose your personal information to third parties, or your combined personal and demographic information or information about your use of the Website, except as set forth below.

We disclose information to third parties when you consent to such disclosure at the time you register for Sedona Office.
We disclose information if legally required to do so or if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process; (b) protect our rights or property of our affiliated companies; (c) prevent a crime or protect national security; or (d) protect the personal safety of users or the public.
We reserve the right to disclose and transfer information to a third party who acquires all or a substantial portion of our business (whether through merger, consolidation or purchase of assets). You will be notified of any sale of all or a substantial portion of our business to a third party via email or through a notice prominently posted on the Website.

Aggregate Information About Website Users

North Star routinely gathers, and may share with third parties, information about use of the Website by our users collectively. Our server logs provide us with information such as what pages are being visited most, what domains our visitors are coming from (i.e. google.com), when our servers are busiest, and what websites are referring users to us. This information helps us to improve our services and evaluate our marketing efforts. We only use such data anonymously and aggregately. In other words, this information does not include personally identifiable information on visitors to the Website.

Linking to Other Websites

Our Website may contain links to third-party websites. Any access to and use of such linked websites is not governed by this Policy, but instead is governed by the privacy policies of those third party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of other websites to which you choose to link from the Website. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these other websites.

Cookies

We use cookie technology within the Website to remember usernames and passwords and for tracking click streams. Cookies, by themselves, cannot obtain personally identifiable

information such as your e-mail address or any other information stored on your hard drive. Cookies are pieces of data normally stored by your browser that automatically identify your computer – but not you – to our servers when you visit the Website.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page.

For example, if you use MMA, a cookie helps us to recall your specific information (such as user name, password and preferences). Because of our use of cookies, we can deliver faster and more accurate results and a more personalized site experience.

You can quite easily prevent Cookie data from being sent by adjusting your browser settings. However, if you disable Cookie data, the Website will not function as it is intended and as it works if Cookies are not disabled.

User-Generated Content—Your Posts

We may invite you to post content about our services or your customer experience with NorthStar, including your comments, pictures, and other information. If you post content, the information that you post will be available to other visitors to Website. Your posting may become public and we cannot prevent such information from being used in a manner that may violate this Policy, the law, or your personal privacy.

Former Customers

If you end your relationship with NorthStar, we will still apply the practices of this Policy to information we maintain on or about you and will honor your opt-out and solicitation elections.
