To accomplish this, we collect certain customer information that permits us to better provide our services to you. We are committed to managing this information responsibly and ensuring that you are in control of your personal information and the communications you receive from us.

What This Policy Covers
This policy describes the customer information we collect and why; how we use this information and when we share it with third parties; the choices you can make about how your personal information is collected, used and shared; and the data security, accuracy and access measures we have adopted to protect customer information under our control from loss, misuse or alteration.

The policy applies solely to information collected by North Star Textiles Fabrics's web site. It does not apply to the practices of people that North Star Textiles does not employ or companies that North Star Textiles does not own or operate.

Please be aware that our site may contain links to other sites hosted by third parties.

How We Use Information
North Star Textiles uses customer information for three general purposes: to customize the advertising and content you see on our sites; to fulfill your requests for certain products and services; and to contact you about new products or services, special events and promotions. We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. North Star Textiles normally will not link IP addresses to personally identifiable information, but reserves the right to do so in order to identify a user when we feel this is necessary to enforce compliance with our internal policies or Terms of Use or to protect our service, site, customers or others.

How We Share Information
Except as described below, North Star Textiles will not sell, share or rent your personally identifiable information to any third party.

North Star Textiles may send personally identifiable information about you to other companies or people when: we have your consent to share such information; we need to share such information to notify contest winners or fulfill promotional obligations; we need to share such information with companies that work on behalf of North Star Textiles Fabrics, in order for them to provide a product or service you have requested; we have a good-faith belief release is required by law or appropriate to respond to subpoenas, court orders or legal process; or we reasonably believe that release is necessary to enforce the North Star Textiles Terms of Use or any of our usage guidelines or to protect our rights or property.

In the event of a change of ownership or a direct merger with or acquisition by another entity, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.

North Star Textiles reserves the right to change, modify or amend this policy from time to time. If we make any significant changes to this policy, we will post those changes here. North Star Textiles encourages you to periodically review this policy to be informed of how we collect, use and protect your information.
