The service provider having the right to carry out the methods and processes of assisted reproduction is required to maintain reciprocal anonymity of the donor and the recipient couple and of anonymity between the child resulting from the donation of gametes (IVF) and the donor.

The service provider who carried out the health capacity assessment of the anonymous donor is required to keep the data for 30 years following the artificial fertilization carried out and on the basis of a request to provide the infertile couple or the person born of assisted reproduction information concerning the health status of the anonymous donor.
