Privacy Policy

Gift of Life is committed to preserving your privacy. This privacy policy and agreement ("Privacy Policy") covers how we collect, use, and treat personal information that you may provide through our website located at www.giftoflife.org (the "Website" or the "Site"). The terms “you” and “your” refer to any visitor to our Website, including (i) casual visitors to our Site ("Site Visitors"), (ii) our financial supporters and potential supporters ("Financial Supporters"), (iii) medical professionals who use our Site ("Medical Professionals"), (iv) donors ("Donors"), and (v) patients and other potential transplant recipients ("Patients"). The terms "Gift of Life", “we” and “us” refer to Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation.

By accessing the Site, you are acknowledging that you have read and that you understand this Privacy Policy and agree to be legally bound by it. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please refrain from using our Site.

1.  Additional Consent(s)

We may ask you to further consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy in different ways, depending on your relationship to the Site.  The procedures for specific consent to this Privacy Policy are more formal if you are a Financial Supporter, contributing through our Site, or a Donor or Medical Professional, using our Site for potential donation and matching activities.

1.1.  Consent by Financial Supporters.  As a Financial Supporter, you may submit contact information, and other information (including your comments), to us via the Website, and you may also choose to make a financial contribution to us through the Site.  You may also use the Website to send various e-greetings.  When you submit information to us to identify yourself as a potential Financial Supporter, to make a financial contribution, or to send e-greetings via our Site, you will be prompted to click an "I Accept" button linked to this Privacy Policy.  Clicking "I accept" confirms your agreement to be bound by this Privacy Policy.

1.2.  Consent by Donors and Medical Professionals.  If you register as a Medical Professional for license and access privileges to our MatchQuest™ software and database, or if you register as a potential Donor, you will similarly be prompted to click an "I Accept" button linked to this Privacy Policy during the registration process.  Clicking "I accept" confirms your agreement to be bound by this Privacy Policy.

2.  Scope of Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies (i) to information we collect or you provide to us while using our Site or while participating in our services, and (ii) to personally identifiable information you provide to us as part of the process of registering online as a Financial Supporter, Medical Professional, or Donor.  With regards to information collected when you visit our Site, we may automatically collect (x) technical information, including the Internet Protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer or device to the Internet, your login information, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform; and (y) information about your visit, including the website you originated from before landing on our Site and the website you went to from our Site (including date and time); products or services you viewed or searched for; page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page.

Please note that Donors sign an offline Consent for Registry Participation, that governs the collection and use of information for determining a transplant match and for contacting the Donor in the event of a potential match (a "Registry Consent").  This Privacy Policy does not govern information collected under and governed by the Registry Consent, and the Registry Consent governs all such information.

3.  The Information We Collect, Who is Responsible for the Information and How We Use the Information

All personally identifiable information we receive will be collected, accessed, and transferred in accordance with applicable laws, which include the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), Virginia’s Consumer Data Protection Act (CDPA), Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), and other applicable U.S. State privacy laws and regulations. Personally identifiable information subject to international jurisdictions will be handled in accordance with the requirements set forth in the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Digital Services Act (DSA), and Digital Markets Act (DMA), as may be applicable.

We will not knowingly and intentionally share personally identifiable information you provide via the Website with any third party, other than as expressly disclosed in this Privacy Policy. By "personally identifiable information" we mean information that identifies you, such as your name, mailing address, email address and mobile phone number. As more fully described in Section 3.6, personally identifiable information does not include publicly available information, deidentified or aggregated consumer information, or information excluded from the scope of applicable law, such as Health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data; or Personal Information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), and the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994.

With respect of personally identifiable information that is collected and processed by us through your use of our Site, we are a data controller for the purpose of data protection laws. If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy or the way we use your personal information, you may contact us as set forth in Section 12.

We collect information from you at different points on our Website, and use this information as follows:

3.1  Privacy of Registry Information. In order to join the Gift of Life Marrow Registry, personal information is collected including, but not limited to, a person's name, date of birth, postal and email address and phone number. In order to be a prospective donor that is eligible to join the registry, health screening information is also collected, including history of cancer and other medical conditions. To be part of the registry, prospective donors must provide a sample of cells from inside their cheeks (a buccal swab) which is tested at a Gift of Life contract laboratory for specialized cell surface markers, Human Leukocyte Antigens (tissue typing), blood group and Cytomegalovirus status. Gift of Life only identifies prospective donors by proprietary donor identification number to maintain anonymity and privacy, and conducts compliance reviews with contract laboratories to ensure compliance with standards. Security measures are taken to ensure safety and privacy of all information as described in this Privacy Policy.

This information is accessible on a need to know basis by authorized personnel only, and protected in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 6 ("Security") of this Privacy Policy. Donor identity is also protected through the use of a proprietary donor identification number, and donors are identified anonymously using that number (for example, via donor search conducted by transplant centers). Should a donor elect to withdraw from the registry, Gift of Life will deactivate the donor's information in a manner that protects the individual's confidentiality and complies with applicable laws. While in the registry, donors can expect that Gift of Life will communicate with them using a variety of methods, including, but not limited to, telephone, email and text message (with approval) in connection with their membership in the registry. Donors can obtain access to their personal information or obtain details about Gift of Life’s privacy practices by contacting its Privacy Officer in writing at 5901 Broken Sound Parkway NW, Suite 600, Boca Raton, Florida 33487.

In the event you wish to contact us to review your personal information that may have been collected and/or correct any information, please call 1-800-9-MARROW or complete our contact page.

3.2  Processing Requests and Transactions.  When you make a request of us via our Website, we will use any personally identifiable information that you provide in connection with that request for the purposes of processing that request.  For example, Financial Supporters are able to send e-greetings via our Site.  When you request an e-greeting, we use personally identifiable information you provide in connection with that request solely for purposes of transmitting the e-greeting.  In each instance where you make a request under our Website, we use the information you provide to us solely for the purpose of fulfilling your request.

3.3  Information concerning Third Parties.  If you are a prospective Donor, during our registration process we may ask for certain personally identifiable information concerning one or more of your relatives or close acquaintances (your "Additional Contacts").  We use this information, in accordance with this Privacy Policy, in order to have further contact information for you on file, and in order to assist us in evaluating your eligibility for our Donor programs.  We may verify certain information with your Additional Contacts, and discuss with them your interest in our Donor programs.  By giving us contact information for these individuals, you are assuring us that they are willing to participate in this process, and that you are willing to allow them to participate.  

3.4  Informational Notices and Bulletins.  Periodically, we may choose to send news, bulletins, educational materials, marketing materials, or other information to you, and will use personally identifiable information to send such communications. If we choose to undertake such communications, you will have the ability to opt out of receiving these communications as provided in Section 5. Message and data rates may apply. Frequency of messages may vary.

3.5  Information Exchanges with Other Users.  The Website may allow users (i) to provide and receive a range of information on topics related to transplants and other matters, and (ii) to engage in other activity that may include, at the option of the user, an exchange of personally identifiable information. In these instances, we use personally identifiable information you provide to us in connection with any such exchanges strictly for the purposes for which you submit the information.  If you share personally identifiable information -- via our Website or related discussions -- with persons other than Gift of Life staff or healthcare entities involved in the donation process, you should treat the exchange as you would any other exchange with a third party, and use appropriate discretion and caution. Such information exchanges are not governed by this Privacy Policy.

3.6  Anonymous, Aggregate Information.  “Aggregate Information” is information that does not identify you, and may include statistical information that may range from statistical information and analyses concerning use of our Donor services, the number of successful matches coordinated through our Site or services, transplant-related information, and the pages on our Site that users visit most frequently. We use Aggregate Information to analyze the effectiveness of our services and our Site, to improve our services and our Website, and for other similar purposes.  In addition, from time to time, we may undertake or commission statistical and other summary analyses of (i) the general behavior and characteristics of users participating in our services, (ii) the effect of our programs on, and the behavior of our Donors, Financial Supporters, Medical Professionals, and Site Visitors, and (iii) the general characteristics of visitors at our Site and participants in our services.  We may share these analyses and Aggregate Information with third parties.  Rest assured, though, that Aggregate Information provided to third parties will not allow anyone to identify you, or determine anything personal about you.  We may collect Aggregate Information through features of the software that supports our services, through cookies, and through other means described below. If you do not wish your non-identified information to be included in the aggregated information, please do not use this Website. You may also contact us at 1-800-9MARROW with any concerns.

Please note that these retention periods may be extended where we need to preserve and use personal information for the purposes of bringing or defending a legal claim.

6.  Security

We have put in place security systems designed to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of information you provide to us, and we take all reasonable steps to secure and safeguard this information. We store all personally identifiable information we receive on a separate system protected by firewalls, designed to be secure and isolated from direct connection to the Internet.  All data exchange with the Internet is always encrypted via SSL employing certificates with at least 2048 bit encryption.  Gift of Life employees (and employees of our Site Vendors) are required to acknowledge that they understand and will abide by our policies with respect to the confidentiality of personally identifiable information.

Our security systems are therefore structured to deter and prevent hackers and others from accessing information you provide to us. We also use software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.  Please understand, though, that we do not warrant as fail-proof the security of information provided by or submitted to Gift of Life.  Due to the nature of Internet communications and evolving technologies, we cannot provide, and disclaim, assurance that the information you provide us will remain free from loss, misuse, or alteration by third parties who, despite our efforts, obtain unauthorized access.

7.  Notice of Security Incident

If we detect, despite the safeguards set out above, an intrusion or other unauthorized access to or use of personally identifiable information (an "Intrusion"), we will (i) notify effected users of the Intrusion if the information at issue is sensitive, in our discretion, (ii) deliver this notice by the means we deem most efficient under the circumstances (such as, for example, first class mail or email); (iii) use contact information for each affected user that is current in our files; and (iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to accomplish these steps and effect this notice in a timely manner. To the extent applicable law requires steps in addition to those specified above, we will under all circumstances comply with applicable law.

8.  Privacy Protection for Children

Our Website is not directed at children, and we will not accept or request personally identifiable information from individuals we know to be under 13.  In accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), if we learn that a child under 13 has provided personally identifiable information, we will either (i) delete this information from our databases, in accordance with our deletion policy, set out in Section 5.3, or (ii) obtain verifiable parental consent, in accordance with COPPA.

9.  Notification of Changes

From time to time, Gift of Life may change its Privacy Policy. If we make any changes regarding disclosure of personally identifiable information to third parties, we will attempt to contact you prior to the date the modified policy is scheduled to take effect. We will post notice of the new Privacy Policy from the privacy link on our Website. With respect to Site Visitors and Patients, your use of our Site following any such change constitutes your agreement to follow and be bound by the Privacy Policy, as changed.

The following is a list of categories of personal information which we may collect or may have been collected from California residents within the last twelve (12) months.

Please note that the categories and examples provided in the list below are those defined in the CCPA.

For example, certain categories of personal information would only be collected if you provided such personal information directly to us.

Under the CCPA, personal information does not include:

Sources of Personal Information. We obtain the categories of personal information listed above from the following categories of sources:

When we disclose personal information for a business purpose or a commercial purpose, we enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.

As defined in the CCPA, "sell" and "sale" mean selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer's personal information by the business to a third party for valuable consideration.

Share of Personal Information. We may share your personal information identified in the above categories with the following categories of third parties:

Sale of Personal Information of Minors Under 16 Years of Age.

We do not sell the personal information of Consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the "right to opt-in") from either the Consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a Consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to the sale of personal information may opt-out of future sales at any time.
