Stem Cell Donation

How will the security of my data be ensured?

The protection and security of your data is of paramount importance to us here at DKMS. We will only record, process and use your personal data in accordance with your consent. We adhere to legal guidelines on the use of any data and only keep what is legally permissible and necessary in order to find a suitable blood stem cell donor.

We are registered and adhere to the Data Protection Act 2018 and ensure that all employees are fully up-to -date and trained in this Act. Your personal data will be stored on our secure DKMS database and only your anonymised data will be transmitted to registries to find out if you are a potential match for a patient (data such as HLA tissue characteristics, age, gender and donor number).

There are so many ways to get involved and support our mission.
You could help to raise awareness, join the register, or take on a fundraising challenge.
