Privacy Policy

At Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Inland Northwest (“RMHC INW”), protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal information of our donors, friends, families, and staff is of vital importance. Personal information includes, without limitation, any records, notes, documentation or other written or electronically recorded information consisting of the following:

  1. Unique Identifier Information (i.e., names, phone numbers, addresses, business information, family relationships, etc.)
  2. Financial Information (i.e., family wealth, company wealth, giving history, etc.)
  3. Transnational Information (i.e., contact reports, copies of correspondence, etc.)
  4. Medical or Health Information (i.e., family medical history, treatment plans, etc.)
  5. Gift Documentation (i.e., bankcard and EFT files, Wills, Trusts, Gift Use Agreements, etc.) 
In general, RMHC INW will make every reasonable effort to respect and protect the privacy of our donors, friends, families, and staff. In particular, RMHC INW will not sell personal information or share personal information with third-parties, except as is reasonably necessary in the conduct of the business and affairs of RMHC INW, and then only after appropriate safeguards are taken to preserve the confidentiality of the personal information in the hands of the third-parties.
 
RMHC INW may use or disclose personal information to fulfill the requests of our donors, friends, families and staff, to protect the integrity of our website, to satisfy any applicable law or regulation, or in response to a subpoena, court order or other legal process. If you would like to inform RMHC that you do not want information shared outside the organization, please contact Christina Britton at 509-624-0500.
 
RMHC INW will strive to maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect personal information and maintain quality controls to ensure that information compiled is as accurate and complete as possible.
 
Security and Payment Processing
We employ commercially reasonable security methods and technologies to help secure the Personal Information we collect and store. However, no system can be guaranteed 100% secure. We therefore cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us, or that we transmit to you, or guarantee that it will be free from unauthorized access by third parties.
 
We use a vendor to process credit card payments made through the Site and to store associated payment data, so RMHC INW does not directly collect such credit card information, nor does RMHC INW store or have access to credit card information submitted online. For donations made offline, RMHC INW may directly collect, store or have access to credit card information for processing payments.
 
If you would like to contact us to review personal information that is collected and/or request revisions, contact Trinette Baer-Kowalski , Executive Director, at 509-624-0500.
 
RMHC INW reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time.
 
The effective date of this Privacy Policy is May 1, 2015.
 
Revisions to the Privacy Policy
We may revise this privacy policy at any time in response to changes in the law or other factors. We encourage you to periodically visit this page to review the most current policy.
