Medical information concerning the sperm donor is kept strictly confidential and in codified form in the Sperm Cryopreservation Bank and the National Registry of Donors and Recipients, which must be maintained by the National Authority for Medically Assisted Reproduction (NAMRA). Access to this file is only allowed to the child and for reasons related to his/her health. In the case of anonymous donation, according to an explicit legislative provision, the identity of the person who has offered the gametes is not disclosed to the recipients and the children. Also, the identity of the child, as well as its parents, is not disclosed to the sperm donor.
By decision of the NAMRA or another competent Authority, it is possible for the donor’s details to be transmitted to another body, during the sperm transfer, in order to ensure the identification of the donor and to exclude cases of circumvention of the legislation, such as: sperm donation through more than one bank or achieving more than the allowed births. In the event of any such decisions, the donor may invoke the right to object or to limit or delete his details, depending on what may be applied on each specific case in accordance to the General Data Protection Regulation or the applicable Legislation at that time.
