Legal notice – Data protection policy
This statement establishes our privacy policy with respect to the information you provide us with on accepting these conditions. The user, by accepting the general conditions, expressly consents, through said affirmative action, to the incorporation of their personal contact data in our systems and for the following purposes, which the user also expressly accepts:
Objective of the processing
The collection and use of personal data, except for the cases described in the following section “data processing to allow access to the web”, are only possible if you voluntarily provide us with your personal data. This applies to the following situations and purposes:
Medical treatment (“the Treatment”)
The personal data provided in the course of your treatment request (the “Request”) will be collected, processed and used in order to manage your request for the subsequent execution of the Contract entered into, and for the purpose of maintaining the contractual relationship, the management, administration, provision, extension and improvement of the services, as well as the sending of technical and operational information related to the Treatment, by any means, including electronic mail and/or equivalent means. In this regard, we hereby inform you that your personal data together with the result of possible user satisfaction surveys will be used to evaluate your opinion and the study of your particular profile, with the sole purpose of improving the services we provide and thus adapt and design our commercial offerings.
For the case of collecting health data, the purpose will be to provide medical services, which according to your express request, are more effectively suited to your personal and health circumstances. Health data will not be released to third parties, except for a legal obligation or the fulfilment of a legitimate interest of the company, a third party or yourself or as part of the treatment chosen. In relation to your health data, in the case of it not being provided, EUGIN reserves the right to refuse the corresponding service.
At the time of making the request, you can also upload the personal data of other members. Therefore, we ask that you make sure that this information is provided with the consent of your partners.
Transfer of your personal data
We hereby inform you that we will have to communicate your requisite personal data to the different suppliers of the products and services that are necessary for the implementation of the Treatment object of the contract, who will be obliged to use the data, solely and exclusively, to fulfil the purpose thereof and all this, by virtue of the contracts previously concluded with third parties.
Data retention period upon registration
The personal data provided during the Treatment will be retained while the commercial relationship between the parties is maintained and for a maximum period of time; i) in the case of patients, at least 15 years from the start date of each healthcare process; and ii) in the case of a donor, 30 years after clinical use or expiration of the cells obtained.
Legitimation of treatment
The legal basis for the treatment of your personal data is, in relation to the aforementioned purposes, the implementation of the requested Treatment (Law 14/1986, of April 25, General Health).
Additional purposes to the Treatment
For any other treatment that is not the one mentioned in the previous section, EUGIN, at all times, will require your express and unequivocal consent. Thus, for when the further processing of personal data for a purpose other than that for which it was collected is planned, information on that other purpose and any additional pertinent information will be provided prior to said further processing so that the user may give their express and unequivocal consent.
Data processing legitimation
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data, in relation to the aforementioned purposes, is the consent given by the user through the acceptance of the Commercial Communications Policy.
Objectives of processing to allow the use of the website
When you visit any of our websites, we collect the necessary data so that you can access it (usage data). This includes your IP address and data on the start, end and subject of your website use, as well as possibly identification data (for example, your login data if you register in the Secure Private area). This data is used for the provision and design of the service based on the needs of each user and is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed.
Use profiles with pseudonyms for advertising and market research (monitoring and web analysis)
For advertising, market research and to make the use of our websites as pleasant as possible, EUGIN uses web tracking systems. In this regard, the data on the use of our website in pseudonymous user profiles is stored. This will allow us to further develop our websites and adapt our content to your needs. In addition, the user profiles are used for so-called redirection. This allows EUGIN to publish and insert interesting offers on other websites that you visit. Pseudonymous usage profiles are not combined with personal data.
You can oppose the creation of pseudonymous usage profiles. On the one hand, you can prevent cookies from being set on your browser (see Cookie Policy). On the other hand, you can install certain add-ons in your browser to protect your privacy, which makes tracking impossible.
Data collection by third party providers/social networks
Our website contains links to social network operators (for example, Facebook, XING, Google Plus, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.). These social networks are operated exclusively by third parties. If you follow the links, the information can be transmitted to these third parties. In order to know the purpose and scope of the collection of your data by social networks and the subsequent local processing, as well as your rights and the way to protect your privacy, you must find out about the respective privacy policies of the operators themselves.
Communication of data to third parties
No data will be transferred to third parties unless you have given your express and unequivocal prior consent, or because of a requirement or legal decision or the fulfilment of a legitimate interest of the company, a third party or yourself. Nevertheless, your data may be communicated to other entities of the corporate group to which EUGIN belongs for the correct execution of the purposes described in the section on Purpose of collection, processing and use of personal data of this policy.
Exercise of rights of access, rectification, cancellation and opposition
We hereby inform you that you have the right, free of charge and to the extent that the legal requirements are met, to obtain confirmation as to whether or not we process personal information about you at EUGIN. As an interested person you have the right to access your personal data, as well as to request the rectification of inaccurate data or, where appropriate, request its deletion when, among other reasons, the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Likewise, you may request the limitation of the processing of your data, in which case we will only retain it for the exercise or defence of claims or for compelling legitimate reasons.
In certain circumstances and for reasons related to your particular situation, you may object to the processing of your data. EUGIN will stop processing the data, except for compelling legitimate reasons, or the exercise or defence of possible claims.

Many thanks for letting us know about your doubts.
In your personal situation with 38 years, a low ovarian reserve and 2 failed IVF I agree that you should start evaluating the option of using donor eggs.
The most important factor to increase success rates is to have good quality eggs, which is something we can achieve with donor eggs, even though we still can’t guarantee a positive result.
However I also think it would be interesting to rule out any other possible cause of failure, you could do some exams first: for example a hysteroscopy with an endometrial biopsy, a karyotype for both you and your partner, thyroid function (TSH and antibodies) and all the panel of tests for autoimmune and genetic alterations affecting implantation (ANA, Protein C & Protein S activity, Prothrombine’s gen mutation, antithrombine III, Leiden factor V, Homocysteine).
Regarding how to choose the clinic to do an egg donation, I would advise you to check on internet and also ask your gynecologist. There are different laws all over Europe on anonymity of the donation (for example it is anonymous in France and Spain but not in the UK) and I would also advise you to find a clinic with a large experience on the subject.
I hope to have been of assistance to you.
Kind regards,
Dr. Clara Colomé
