Dog Years prioritizes individual sovereignty, privacy, and voluntary participation. This Data Policy reflects our commitment to transparency, minimal data collection, and maximum user control.

We collect only the minimum data necessary for trial registration, contributor coordination, and essential communications. We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising, and we avoid third-party tools that do. This website sets only a few functional cookies: our cookie banner stores your choice, and Google reCAPTCHA, which protects our forms from spam, may set its own cookies under Google's privacy policy. If you request access to our data room, we record your email and the page you came from, and your browser remembers the request so you are not asked again.

If you sign up to one of our registration forms, we may message you about upcoming trials and news related to the project. If you reply STOP or UNSUBSCRIBE, we will endeavor to opt you out of all communications platforms.

We prioritize secure communications. If you provide a phone number, we will attempt to reach you via Signal first, then Telegram, and then via SMS as a last resort.

Dog Years is represented by "Dog Years, Inc", a Wyoming entity.
