DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
Northstar does not sell, rent, loan, trade or lease personal information shared to our representatives, collected on our website, or included in our email lists to any third party. We will only use the personal information that you provide for the reason that you provided it to Northstar.

We may also share certain personal information with vendors or service providers that Northstar uses to service its customers. For example, a shipping address may be shared with the carrier used to deliver the package to you. Northstar may also share your personal information with vendors that help us provide you with services and help us provide you with an excellent customer experience. Northstar’s third party vendors only have access to your personal data for a short period of time.

If you qualify, it is your right to request (a) access to your personal information; (b) data correction to your personal information is incorrect or incomplete; (c) object to Northstar’s use of your personal information because there is a strong legitimate reason that we should not process your personal information that is unique to you; or (d) Northstar’s deletion of your personal information.
