Privacy Policy

This site is run by neighbours living in the Willard Park area of Berkeley, California. We built this to understand local swimming access and advocate for a public pool in South Berkeley. Your trust is essential to that effort.

The core commitment

We will never sell, rent, trade, or monetize your contact information or personal data to any third party, advertiser, or data broker. Ever.

We only collect information you voluntarily provide, and we only use it to communicate about this project.

What information we collect

• Email addresses and names: When you subscribe to our newsletter, sign up for updates, or choose to share your email on the survey form.
• Survey responses: Answers to questions about where you swim, household transit times, and memories or thoughts on Willard Pool. Providing your name or email on the survey is entirely optional.
• Anonymous aggregate analytics: Basic, privacy-respecting pageview metrics (like total visits and top pages) without tracking individual visitors across the web or building advertising profiles.

How we use your information

We use your information exclusively to:

• Send occasional, relevant updates on survey findings, community meetings, city council discussions, and next steps for a public pool in South Berkeley.
• Aggregate survey findings into community data (e.g., "75% of respondents travel over 25 minutes to reach a public pool") to demonstrate neighbourhood need to civic leaders and school district officials. All published survey findings are completely anonymised.

We do not send unsolicited marketing or promotional emails for commercial products or services.

Your control and opt-out

You can unsubscribe from updates at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of our emails or by contacting us directly. If you would like your survey response or email removed from our records, let us know and we will promptly delete it.

Questions?

If you have any questions or want to request the removal of your information, you can reach out via our updates form or in the comments field of the survey.
