Disclaimer & Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 8, 2026

The information on this website, including text, graphics, images, videos, testimonials, stories, linked resources, and other materials, is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not legal, insurance, employment, financial, or tax advice.

This website does not create a physician-patient, transplant-center, donor-patient, advisor-client, fiduciary, or other professional relationship between any visitor and the website owners, operators, volunteers, contributors, or affiliated persons.

Questions about living kidney donation, kidney transplantation, donor eligibility, transplant candidacy, medical suitability, surgery, recovery, long-term follow-up, risks, benefits, testing, medications, financial assistance, insurance coverage, employment leave, or legal rights should be directed to qualified professionals who know your individual circumstances. Medical questions should be addressed to your own physician or primary care provider and to the living donor or transplant staff at a qualified transplant hospital.

While we try to present information carefully and in good faith, some content may be simplified, incomplete, outdated, or not applicable to your specific situation, transplant center, insurer, employer, or jurisdiction. We do not guarantee that any information on this website is complete, current, accurate, or suitable for any particular purpose.

Testimonials and personal stories reflect individual experiences and viewpoints. They are shared for awareness and educational purposes only and do not guarantee similar medical outcomes, donor eligibility, transplant eligibility, timing, protections, or results for any other person.

This website may include links to third-party websites, hospitals, transplant programs, nonprofits, social media platforms, donor intake forms, videos, or other outside resources. Those links are provided for convenience and reference only. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, privacy practices, availability, or policies of third-party websites or services.

Privacy

We may collect limited information that you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, or other details if you contact us, email us, or submit information through a form.

We may also collect basic technical information automatically through normal website operation, such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, pages visited, and dates and times of access. This website may use cookies, analytics tools, or similar technologies to understand website traffic and improve user experience.

We may use collected information to:

• respond to inquiries

• provide requested information

• improve website content and performance

• understand website traffic and visitor engagement

• maintain website security and integrity

We do not sell personal information submitted through this website.

We may share limited information with service providers or vendors who help operate the website, hosting, email systems, forms, analytics, or security tools, or where disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect rights, safety, or website integrity.

If you click a third-party link, donor intake form, hospital page, social media platform, or video platform, your information will be governed by that third party’s own privacy practices, not this website.

We use reasonable efforts to protect information collected through this website, but no website, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Use of the website and submission of information are at your own risk. The FTC advises organizations to collect only the information they need and to protect it appropriately.

If you do not wish to provide personal information, you may choose not to submit it.

Copyright and Use of Content

All original content on this website, including text, graphics, layout elements, page copy, educational materials, and other original materials, is owned by [INSERT NAME / ORGANIZATION] unless otherwise stated and is protected by United States copyright law. Applying a copyright notice is optional, but the U.S. Copyright Office notes that it may provide practical and legal benefits.

You may not copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, modify, display, transmit, or exploit this website’s original content for commercial use or republication without prior written permission, except for limited personal, noncommercial viewing or sharing that preserves attribution and does not alter the content.

Unauthorized use, copying, scraping, republication, or redistribution of original website content is prohibited.

Copyright in original content exists automatically when the work is created, but registration may provide stronger enforcement rights. The U.S. Copyright Office states that registration is generally required before bringing an infringement lawsuit for a U.S. work.

Limitation of Liability

By using this website, you agree that the website owners, operators, contributors, volunteers, and affiliated persons are not liable for any claim, loss, injury, damages, or adverse consequence arising from use of the website, reliance on its content, or use of linked third-party resources, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
