Fairfax Cryobank Privacy Policy

Fairfax Cryobank is committed to protecting the identities of our clients and donors. We have and will continue to honor the contracts we have agreed to with our donors. If they are anonymous donors, we will keep their identity private from all parties who wish access to that information. Our ID Consent donors have agreed to a limited release of information which will not occur until a child registered with us as his offspring reaches the age of 18.

Anonymous Donors

Anonymous donors will always remain anonymous. They will never become ID Consent donors (see below).

Fairfax Cryobanks Privacy Policy protects the confidentiality of all parties involved and specifies that the anonymous donor program at the current time is "closed," which dictates that the donor's and recipient's identities remain anonymous. All donor and recipient records will be maintained indefinitely and we will not compromise the anonymity between the donor and the recipient. We do not facilitate contact between anonymous donors and their offspring.

In certain medically necessary circumstances, we will, upon physician request, attempt to obtain specific additional donor medical or genetic information and testing. Donor identity in these circumstances will remain anonymous.

Identity (ID) Consent Donors

Certain new donors have consented to be ID Consent donors. These donors agree to a limited release of identifying information when offspring from their donated sperm reach 18 years of age. Children must be registered with Fairfax Cryobank by their parents at the time of their birth as offspring of an ID Consent donor.

ID Consent donors will always remain in this category and can never become an anonymous donor.
