Question 1

Is my privacy and confidentiality protected during the donation process?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We prioritize your privacy. Your application information is transmitted securely, and every donor receives a unique donor ID that protects your identity throughout the program. If you choose open-ID donation, your information may be shared with donor-conceived offspring once they turn 18 — and only after Cryomate confirms with you first.

Question 2

Do I have any legal or parental responsibilities for offspring?

Accepted Answer

No. As a donor, you’ll sign an agreement that waives all parental rights and responsibilities for children conceived from your sperm.

Question 3

How does online DNA testing affect my anonymity?

Accepted Answer

Online DNA testing can potentially impact the anonymity of sperm donors. If you or your relatives undergo DNA testing on platforms like Ancestry or 23andMe and choose to share connections through their database, there's a risk of being identified by others. It's important for sperm donors to be aware of this and consider privacy preferences when using such services. Please note that Cryomate is not affiliated with these online services, and your personal information and screening results are securely kept confidential in our database.
