3.INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT
NorthStar Laurel, LLC. collects certain information from
and about its users three ways: directly from our Web Server
logs, the user, and with Cookies.

When you visit our Website, we may track information to administer
the site and analyze its usage. Examples of information we
may track include:
- Your Internet protocol address.
- The kind of browser or computer you use.
- Number of links you click within the site.
- State or country from which you accessed the site.

B.Use of Cookies
NorthStar Laurel, LLC. may use cookies to personalize or
enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small text file
that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies
cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your
computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only
be read by a Web Server in the domain that issued the cookie
to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience
feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize
a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the
site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits.
Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant
content and eases site navigation by providing and saving
your preferences and login information as well as providing
personalized functionality.
NorthStar Laurel, LLC. reserves the right to share aggregated
site statistics with partner companies, but does not allow
other companies to place cookies on our website unless there
is a temporary, overriding customer value (such as merging
into cambriasuitesakron.com a site that relies on third-party
cookies).
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web
browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually
modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject
cookies by changing your browser settings then be aware that
this may disable some of the functionality on our Website.
C.Personal Information Users
Visitors to our website can register to purchase services.
When you register, we will request some personal information
such as name, address, email, telephone number or facsimile
number, account number and other relevant information. If
you are purchasing a service, we will request financial information.
Any financial information we collect is used only to bill
you for the services you purchased. If you purchase by credit
card, this information may be forwarded to your credit card
provider. For other types of registrations, we will ask for
the relevant information. You may also be asked to disclose
personal information to us so that we can provide assistance
and information to you. For example, such data may be warranted
in order to provide online technical support and troubleshooting.
We will not disclose personally identifiable information
we collect from you to third parties without your permission
except to the extent necessary including:
- To fulfill your service requests for services.
- To protect ourselves from liability
- To respond to legal process or comply with law, or
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation
of the company.
4.USE OF WEB BEACONS OR GIF FILES
NorthStar Laurel, LLC. / www.comfortsuiteslaurel.com
Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons
– sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that
allow NorthStar LLC. to count users who have visited those
pages and to deliver co-branded services. NorthStar Laurel,
LLC. may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages
or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have
been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party service
providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising
campaigns or email communications. These Web beacons may be
used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie
on your computer. This allows the service provider to recognize
your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails
and compile anonymous information in relation to those page
views, which in turn enables us and our service providers
to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to our
website and how you use the site. info@americanhg.com prohibits
Web beacons from being used to collect or access your personal
information.
5.ACCESSING WEB ACCOUNT INFORMATION
We will provide you with the means to ensure that personally
identifiable information in your web account file is correct
