Those names will be downloaded nightly to a computer system maintained by Donor Alliance, the non-profit organization that facilitates organ and tissue donation in Colorado. The state has given Donor Alliance the authority to maintain the registry. Only the information that confirms a person's identity and wishes to be a donor, is accessed. Personal information in the registry is not shared with any company or government agency. Colorado law prohibits the selling of information for marketing purposes.
Complete privacy is assured.
If the individual is listed in the donor registry, the family will be informed that their loved one wished to be a donor. When families know their loved one's wishes they are much more likely to support donation. Federal law requires that surviving family members be asked the wishes of a loved one immediately after his or her death. Not knowing those wishes causes families to struggle in guessing what their loved one would have wanted. A family notification form is included in the donation brochures provided at driver license offices, or you can obtain one here .
