Declaration of the Unconditional Value of Dogs

I recognise that every dog has intrinsic value. Their value does not depend on their health, temperament, behaviour, usefulness or how easy they are for people to live with.

A dog has needs, interests and preferences of their own. Meeting their needs and respecting their interests and preferences must not be a reward for obedience or for meeting human expectations.

Anyone responsible for a dog has a duty to provide for their wellbeing: a life free from fear and pain, fulfilment of their needs, and opportunities to enjoy a life of their own.

A dog needs opportunities to make choices, take initiative and influence what happens. Respecting a dog means taking their preferences and signals of agreement or refusal into account and changing our actions in response.

Behaviour that people find inconvenient does not justify causing a dog pain or fear. Difficulties in life together, everyday care and medical treatment must all be addressed in ways that protect the dog from suffering.

Dogs’ interests matter in their own right and must be considered both in individual care and in decisions made across society.

By signing this declaration, I support these principles and commit to following them whenever my actions affect dogs’ lives.

Join the declaration

By signing, you publicly support the principles of this declaration and commit to following them. We will contact you personally on Telegram to confirm your signature and how your name will appear before publishing it here.

Signatories

We personally confirm each request through a conversation with the participant.

Consent to personal data processing

I voluntarily consent to Individual Entrepreneur Oksana Mikhailovna Tyulpinova (Russian tax identification number 711605844952; contact: tyulpinovaoxana@gmail.com) processing my personal data to review my request to join the Declaration of the Unconditional Value of Dogs, contact me personally, agree my public signature and maintain the register of participants.

The data comprise my first and last name, Telegram contact, correspondence concerning confirmation, agreed public name, request dates and statuses, and records of consent, withdrawal and document versions. To complete separate consent to publication, I also provide my patronymic, if any, and one contact detail: a phone number, email address or postal address. These additional details are not published.

I authorise collection, recording, organisation, accumulation, storage, correction, retrieval, use, disclosure to authorised service providers where necessary, restriction, deletion and destruction, with or without automated means. This consent alone does not authorise public disclosure.

Requests are received through Tilda and stored in a private Google spreadsheet. Telegram is used to notify the operator and confirm participation personally. Only the operator and authorised personnel have access to the private register. My contact details are not used for advertising. Identity documents are not requested.

Consent remains effective until its purposes have been fulfilled or it is withdrawn. An unconfirmed request and its associated working records are deleted no later than 90 days after receipt if the participant has not confirmed their participation. If consent is withdrawn, the data are deleted within the applicable statutory period unless another lawful basis for retention applies. A confirmed entry is retained while the participant maintains their public participation; consent evidence may subsequently be retained only on a separate lawful basis.

I can withdraw consent, correct my data or withdraw my participation by emailing tyulpinovaoxana@gmail.com. I should include my name and the contact used in my request so the operator can locate the entry and verify my request. Requests are handled within the applicable statutory periods. Where no other lawful basis applies, processing stops and the data are deleted.

This consent is recorded separately from support for the declaration and permission to publish my name. The record includes the text and version of consent, participant details, affirmative action and date. No checkbox is preselected.

Consent to publication of my first and last name

I, the participant whose full name, including a patronymic if applicable, and contact details are recorded in my individual confirmation, separately and voluntarily authorise Individual Entrepreneur Oksana Mikhailovna Tyulpinova (Russian tax identification number 711605844952; tyulpinovaoxana@gmail.com) to publish only my agreed first and last name in the list of signatories to the Declaration of the Unconditional Value of Dogs.

Publication addresses: https://shbs-dogs.ru/declaration and https://shbs-dogs.ru/declaration-en. The purpose is to identify my personal support for the declaration publicly. The only personal data published are my first and last name. Telegram, phone number, email, postal address, patronymic and correspondence remain private.

Publication takes place only after I explicitly confirm the exact public name. A different rendering of my name in English is agreed separately. Silence, submitting a request or merely replying on Telegram does not constitute this confirmation.

I authorise the operator to record, store, correct at my request and use these data for the stated list, make them accessible to the public, restrict access, delete and destroy them. The list is available online, including outside Russia, and search engines may index it.

I may specify restrictions or conditions on further disclosure or processing by the public, other than access. Before publication, I specify these in my individual confirmation or explicitly state that I impose no additional conditions. The operator records them with my consent and publishes information about applicable conditions within the statutory period. Omitted conditions are not treated as an absence of restrictions.

Consent takes effect upon individual confirmation and remains effective until withdrawal or closure of the list. Any change to the published name requires renewed agreement. I can withdraw permission by emailing tyulpinovaoxana@gmail.com with my full name, contact details and the data whose public disclosure must cease.

The operator stops public disclosure no later than three working days after receiving the request. Removing my name from the website cannot ensure deletion of copies previously retained by third parties or search engines. Withdrawal of publication permission is recorded separately from withdrawal of support for the declaration.

How declaration requests are handled

The operator is Individual Entrepreneur Oksana Mikhailovna Tyulpinova, Russian tax identification number 711605844952. Contact: tyulpinovaoxana@gmail.com. This document concerns requests to join the declaration only; it does not replace policies for purchases or subscriptions.

The operator reviews requests, contacts participants on Telegram, agrees their name and support for the declaration, and maintains a private register. Requests and contact details are not published automatically. Only separately authorised first and last names appear on the website after manual review.

The form collects first and last name and a Telegram contact. When completing individual consent to public disclosure, the operator also obtains a patronymic if applicable and a phone number, email address or postal address. Consent versions, date, agreed name and request status are recorded. Data are not used for advertising or verification of legal identity.

Tilda and Google Sheets are used to receive and store requests; Telegram is used for notifications and personal confirmation. The private register is not shared through a public link or loaded into the website. The public list contains only data authorised for publication.

Participants may request information about processing, correction, cessation of public disclosure, deletion and withdrawal of consent by emailing tyulpinovaoxana@gmail.com. The operator verifies that the request belongs to the participant and responds within applicable statutory periods.

Unconfirmed requests and their associated working records are deleted no later than 90 days after receipt. Confirmed entries are retained for the duration of public participation; further retention requires a separate lawful basis. Google Sheets and Telegram may process data outside the Russian Federation. Consent to processing does not replace separate permission to publish a name.
