Donor privacy policy

Effective as of September 25, 2018

Regions Hospital Foundation values your support and the trust you place in us. We want to let you know how we will use your personal information and how we keep it private.

“Personal information” refers to specific facts that can be used to identify or contact you as an individual. Personal information includes your name, home address and phone number, birth date, sex, email address or other information that is unique to you.

We collect this information in various ways. Often you give it to us when you make a donation to the Foundation, volunteer for a Foundation event, purchase a ticket for a Foundation event, correspond with the Foundation, or ask for information about the Foundation. The Foundation may also receive your personal information from the hospital (or health system) where you received care – unless you have opted out of sharing that information with us – and from various publicly available records.

We may use and share your personal information for any of the following purposes:

1. To send you information you have requested.
2. To acknowledge your gift.
3. To allow you to participate in a program you have enrolled in or an event.
4. To inform you about the Foundation and its activities, and to ask for gifts.
5. To enable you to provide feedback to us on our programs and services.

If you do not want to receive solicitations or other collateral, please let us know by contacting us by email at RHF@healthpartners.com or writing us at:

Regions Hospital Foundation
ATTN: Database Manager
640 Jackson St., Mail Stop 11202C
St. Paul, MN  55101

If you would like your giving to remain anonymous, you can indicate this desire on your gift form or you can contact us by phone at 651-254-3864 or email at RHF@healthpartners.com or in writing at:

Regions Hospital Foundation

We do not sell, trade or share your personal information with other unaffiliated organizations. However, we do share our donors’ personal information with the organization that benefits from your gift (for example, Regions Hospital) and with other foundations affiliated with HealthPartners.

We may share your personal information with unrelated third parties under the following circumstances:

1. We may share personal information with a third-party vendor who performs a service for us. For example, to a mailing service to prepare a mailing. In such a case, we require the vendor to use the personal information only for the purpose for which it was shared, keep personal information confidential and secure, to notify us (so we can notify you) if the privacy of the information is breached, and to return personal information to us (or destroy it) when the service is complete.
2. We will share personal information to the extent necessary required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, court or administrative order, law, rule, regulation, or similar requirement that we believe in good faith legally obligates us to share it.
3. We may use personal information to protect our rights, our web site, and to avoid or minimize our liability. For example, we may use personal information to investigate credit card or financial fraud, and disclose it to law enforcement or our attorneys to consider taking legal action.
4. We may share personal information with a new entity that controls us, or that we control, as a result of a corporate reorganization, such as a merger, acquisition or spin-off.

In addition to your personal information you give us as a donor, see our website privacy policy to learn in detail how we handle nonpersonal information you give us as a visitor to our website.

We use reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures to protect personal information within our organization. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that personal information we have for you has been compromised), please contact us immediately at the address below.

If you make a transaction with the Foundation using a credit card, the transaction is protected by requirements established by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) and accepted by your credit card vendor, not by the Foundation or this policy.

The Foundation may amend this policy from time to time. Please review it periodically. We maintain the option to modify this privacy at any time by electronic notice posted on our website. Your continued use of our website after the date that such notices are posted will be deemed to be your agreement to the changed terms.

Any questions and concerns about your privacy can be sent to privacy@healthpartners.com or by mail to:
