Norman Studios Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how and when Norman Studios Silent Film Museum, Inc. (hereafter “Norman Studios”) collects, uses, and shares information when you donate to it, purchase an item from it, contact it or otherwise use its services.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that are not owned or controlled by Norman Studios, including without limitation any third party services you access through its website. 

Personal information provided to Norman Studios, such as or similar to your name, address, telephone number and email address, is used to fulfill Norman Studios’ educational and charitable purposes, including without limitation the provision of tours and other educational programming, facilitating donations and membership, purchasing of items relevant to its purposes, and informing members and others of events and other information.

Norman Studios relies on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

  • As needed to provide services, such as when your information is used to schedule a tour, fulfill an order, to receive a donation or to settle disputes;
  • When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by asking for information or commenting on a blog;
  • If necessary to comply with a legal obligation, including but not limited to a court order, or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases or donations if required by tax law; and
  • As necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as providing and improving our programs and services.

Your privacy is very important to Norman Studios, and it shares your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances as follows:

  • Service providers: Norman Studios engages certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services, such as delivery companies.  Norman Studios will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
  • Compliance with laws. Norman Studios may collect, use, retain, and share your information if it has a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce or comply with any agreements, terms and policies, including Norman Studios’ agreement with the City of Jacksonville; (c) prevent, investigate and address fraud and other illegal activity, security or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of persons.

Norman Studios retains your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with services and as described in this Privacy Policy.  However, Norman Studios may also be required to retain this information to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce and comply with agreements.  Norman Studios generally keeps your data for the following time period:  5 years.   While we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information that you transmit to Norman Studios, and you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of any passwords or other account information.
