<h2 aria-level="3">Basic Donor Profile</h2>
Cryos offers basic donor profiles for couples and individuals who are seeking a donor with only the most critical, limited information available about them. Donors with a Basic profile are registered with information that&nbsp;includes the following characteristics:
<ul>
<li>Race</li>
<li>Ethnicity</li>
<li>Eye color</li>
<li>Hair color</li>
<li>Height</li>
<li>Weight</li>
<li>Blood type</li>
<li>Profession/Education</li>
</ul>
A basic profile offers the anonymity that many people prefer when <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/how-to/how-to-choose-a-donor/">choosing a donor</a>.

<h2>Extended Donor Profile</h2>
Many couples and individuals find it best to choose a donor who not only resembles their physical characteristics but often their interests as well. Cryos offers extended donor profiles to offer a wider glimpse into the lives of their potential future donor.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Donors with an Extended Donor Profile are registered with the Basic profile information plus additional details including background, physical characteristics, education, profession, personality, health and family history, photos, handwritten greeting, voice sample, staff impression, and EQ tests.&nbsp;&nbsp;
A staff impression is a brief subjective description of the donor written by a staff member from Cryos to give you more of an in-depth look at how the Cryos team understands the donor.
