We Respect and Keep Your Data Safe

• maintaining secure and indefinite links between maternal donor, infant donor and cord blood product
• restricting access to designated individuals only, in compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012
• ensuring strict confidentiality of all identifiable information
• conducting regular checks to ensure that your personal data is only accessed by authorised persons, and
• removing details, as far as possible, that identify you when using your data for internal purposes.

Our Commitment to Privacy

Your privacy is our paramount concern. We maintain strict protocols to protect your personal information.

• We never share identifiable information with Transplant Physicians
