Privacy Policy

What we collect
 

We ask for your name, email, and city/state (or mailing address) along with your survey responses. Providing contact information is optional but helps us follow up for clarification if needed.

​

Why we collect it

We use your information to:
 

• Provide aggregate statistics to legislators showing the geographic reach and diversity of public input in support of expanding low-cost spay/neuter access.

• Identify real-world barriers that slow or block lifesaving transfers.

• Surface what’s working so it can be replicated across California.

• Propose simple, effective, transparent policies that raise save rates while removing unnecessary obstacles for responsible rescues.

• Deter harm from irresponsible actors without penalizing the many groups doing the right thing.

​

How we use and share data
 

• We report only aggregated, de-identified findings (e.g., counts by region or organization type).

• Your personal details (name, email, address) will not be shared, sold, or used for any other purpose.

• We do not share individual responses with shelters, agencies, or third parties without your explicit permission.

 

Data security & retention
 

• Responses are stored in secure systems with access limited to authorized Rescues for Change coalition organizers.

• We retain identifiable information only as long as needed to validate and compile aggregate results, then remove identifiers where feasible.

 

Your choices
 

• You may skip any question or submit anonymously (leaving contact fields blank).

• You can request removal or correction of your data at any time by contacting us at info@animalrescuesforchange.org.
