If you provide information about yourself on a page, filling out a survey, entering a promotion, or otherwise voluntarily telling us about yourself or your activities, we will collect and use that personal information to fulfill your request and for other business purposes. We may also contact you by email, physical mail, or telephone about our events and related announcements.

Embedded Content and Links from Other Websites
Articles and pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.) and/or links to other websites. Embedded content and links behave in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website, and the Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of external websites. Your use of any embedded content and links is solely at your own risk.

It may also include generally where you are located, the pages or URLs of our site that you view, and search terms you enter on the site. We collect this information for the purposes of system administration, to gather broad demographic information, and to monitor the level of activity on our site. We also use the information collected to diagnose problems with our site and to enrich your visitor experience. Most major commercial Internet sites use cookies and they make your Internet-surfing more useful and less time-consuming for you because they store information that is reusable each time you visit this site.
Combining Information

Google Web Fonts
For uniform representation of fonts, this site may use web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our plugin. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.
Further information about handling user data, can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
