Use
of Cookies
The
NorthStar Power Web site use "cookies" to
help you personalize your online experience. A cookie
is a 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. The purpose of a cookie is
to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific
page. For example, if you personalize NorthStar Power
pages, or register with NorthStar Power site or services,
a cookie helps NorthStar Power to recall your specific
information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the
process of recording your personal information, such
as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on.
When you return to the same NorthStar Power Web site,
the information you previously provided can be retrieved,
so you can easily use the NorthStar Power features that
you customized.
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 prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you
may not be able to fully experience the interactive
features of the NorthStar Power services or Web sites
you visit.
Security
of your Personal Information
NorthStar
Power secures your personal information from unauthorized
access, use or disclosure. NorthStar Power secures the
personally identifiable information you provide on computer
servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected
from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal
information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted
to other Web sites, it is protected through the use
of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
protocol.
Changes
to this Statement
NorthStar
Power will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy
to reflect company and customer feedback. NorthStar
Power encourages you to periodically review this Statement
to be informed of how NorthStar Power is protecting
