CODE OF CONDUCT

Our community on MyDonorFamily provides a safe online forum where we help donor offspring and parents with donor children connect with donor offspring of the same donor. On MyDonorFamily these families can meet and share mutual thoughts, information, and experiences - anonymously or non-anonymously.

As a donor offspring or a parent with donor children, you’ll always be welcome in our community, as long as you are kind, honest and respectful. If you choose not to be, your behaviour may lead to immediate termination of your account and membership.

MyDonorFamily reserves the right to periodically review the content you upload and the messages you send within the messaging system to monitor for abuse of our Code of Conduct. We encourage you to report any behaviour that violates our Code of Conduct by email on info@mydonorfamily.com

Below you find our Code of Conduct

Impersonation

Don’t be fake. Be who you are.

When creating your account, you must enter your own accurate personal details and contact information.

Don’t impersonate another person or otherwise misrepresent your identity or status as a donor offspring/parent who seeks connection with donor families with the same donor.

If you have another agenda, don’t create an account. MyDonorFamily is for donor offspring and their parents only.

Are you from the press/media, a fertility clinic, a sperm bank and seeking information about our network, please contact us on info@mydonorfamily.dk

The donor has given you one of the greatest gifts you can ever give. Please respect the donor’s privacy. Do not reveal the donor’s identity or other information that could reveal his/her identity on MyDonorFamily.

In general, please comply with the terms regarding ID-release/No-ID-release, Contact/Non-Contact, age limits etc. in the agreement with the sperm/egg bank or clinic that may apply to the fertility treatment with your donor. These terms reflect the conditions on which your donor has made the donation.

You must treat messages from other members and information received via or in relation to the Service confidentially, and you must not disclose the messages and information to third parties without the consent of the sender or serious cause.
