Privacy Policy

The Jim Henson Legacy, Inc. (“JHL” or “we”, “us” or “our”) is strongly committed to protecting your privacy. JHL believes that maintaining your privacy on our web site (“Web Site”) is very important, and that informing you about the types of information we collect and how we use it is crucial.

Types of Information Collected
We do not collect any personally identifiable information about you—such as your name and postal or e-mail address—except when you knowingly and voluntarily provide it to us. For example, if you wish to join our mailing list, we will ask you for personally identifiable information, such as your name and e-mail address.

Certain individual users of the Web Site are current or former employees of JHL or have provided services for JHL and may be eligible for membership which will allow them to access certain “members only” areas of the Web Site. These individuals will be requested to provide additional personally identifiable information.

When you submit your personally identifiable information on our Web Site, you are giving your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If you would prefer that we not collect any personally identifiable information from you, please do not provide us with any such information.

Our Web Site does automatically collect some non-personally identifiable information about visitors to our Web Site. We maintain this non-personally identifiable information only in aggregate form and it is used for statistical purposes and to help us monitor generally how guests navigate our Web Site, allowing us to tailor our services for the majority of visitors.

Our Web Site also collects the IP address of your computer when you connect to our Web Site. An IP address is a number assigned to your computer by a web server when you are connected to the Internet. This information is generally only used for non-user-specific purposes such as determining how many users visited a specific area of our Web Site. However, We reserve the right to use such information to identify a user if we believe, in our sole discretion, it is necessary in order to resolve safety and/or security issues or to comply with legal requirements.

We may use the information you provide in aggregate form for internal business purposes, such as generating statistics and developing marketing plans. We will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to third parties without your consent.

Aggregate non-personally identifiable information concerning your use of this Web Site, such as information regarding which of our pages are most popular, may be shared with or transferred to third parties.

We may disclose any information, including personally identifiable information, we deem necessary, in our sole discretion, to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request.
