Collection of Personally Identifiable Information
Washington State PTA (WSPTA) collects personal information about members and others as follows:
- Names, mailing addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses through its online membership enrollment website and online registration for WSPTA meetings;
- Names, mailing addresses, and telephone numbers of entrants in the process of administering WSPTA recognition programs;

Policy
It is the policy of the WSPTA to protect personal information obtained from unauthorized disclosure. Further, the WSPTA Uniform Bylaws provide that “PTA membership lists may not be released to outside interests.” The executive director shall implement appropriate practices to assure that information collected and maintained is kept confidential and used only as necessary to carry out the functions of the association. More specifically:
- As a general rule, only staff shall have access to personal information, except that members who volunteer to evaluate entries in recognition programs may have limited access to data necessary to complete their function, but they shall not maintain either the original or a copy of such personal information once their respective functions have been accomplished.
- Staff may use personal information obtained or maintained by WSPTA to communicate with such persons about WSPTA events and activities, and may provide individual’s contact information to members of the WSPTA board of directors to enable them to communicate with them for the same purposes.
- Staff may engage the services of an outside provider to assist in communicating with members but shall require a signed non-disclosure agreement prior to such disclosure.
- Staff may provide contact information to National PTA as necessary to carry out WSPTA and National PTA functions.
