California Cryobank is committed to maintaining every sperm donor's right to privacy and will always exercise our most strenuous efforts to assure donor anonymity.

We will not release confidential identifying information about you without your written consent. If we have a need to contact you by telephone, letter or e-mail, we take steps to protect your anonymity.

After becoming a qualified sperm donor, you will be issued a donor number and you will only be identified by this number to anyone outside of the donor department. When you retire from the program, it is important that you do not forget your sperm donor number in case you should have questions or any other reason to contact us in the future.

To balance the concerns for privacy and confidentiality with a child's need to know about his or her biological parents, we have developed a policy called "The Openness Policy". This policy states that we do not believe that the sperm donor or the mother should be asked today how they or a child would feel about the subject sometime in the future.

We are obligated by mutual agreements to maintain the anonymity and privacy of all parties, including the donor, recipient, and all children resulting from anonymous donor insemination. However, if given mutual consent, by the sperm donor and child in the future, we will attempt to provide a channel through which they can communicate.

I have no intention or desire to be deemed a legal parent of any resulting child(ren) and, to the fullest extent possible, waive any and all claims that I may have to parenthood or any child(ren) that may result from my donation(s). I intend for this waiver to apply regardless of whether my semen specimens are used by a married or unmarried woman and regardless of the state in which my semen specimens are used.
