The Great Dog Survey Privacy Policy & Competition Terms & Conditions
The Great Dog Survey is brought to you by Scratch Pet Health Pty Ltd and is intended as Australia’s largest ever study of how dogs fit into the lives of Australians.
This Privacy Policy applies to all of the website content served, created and stored on www.greatdogsurvey.com.au. We refer to this data collectively as the “survey” in this policy.
What constitutes the claim of ‘largest ever survey’?
We believe that the largest Australian survey conducted of this nature was the 2022 Great Dog Survey with 20,664 dogs accounted for, followed by the 2016 Petplan Census, with approximately 10,000 entrants (although these consisted of all pet owners – not exclusively dogs).
What information will be collected?
- Contact information, but only if you consent at the end of the survey. By default, you can enter your survey responses without supplying your name, email address or any contactable information.
- Usage information, such as how far you got through the survey and if you viewed other pages such as this Privacy Policy.
- Device and browser data used to access this survey. Device data mainly means your IP address, operating system version, device type, device ID/MAC address, system and performance information, and browser type. If you are on a mobile device we also collect the UUID for that device.
- Information from page tags. We use first party and third party cookies and tracking services that employ cookies and page tags (also known as web beacons) to collect data about visitors to our websites. This data includes usage and user statistics.
- Log data. Like most websites today, our web servers keep log files that record data each time a device accesses those servers. The log files contain data about the nature of each access, including originating IP addresses, internet service providers, the files viewed on our site (e.g., HTML pages, graphics, etc.), operating system versions, device type and timestamps.
What will the data be used for?
The survey does ask some information such as state and age group for the purposes of data grouping and comparison. For instance, states help to compare how Queensland dogs may differ to Melbourne dogs and age groups how attitudes towards dogs and place in their lives may differ by generations.
We have avoided asking for sensitive information such as name, and email address is optional at the end. Survey data may also be used for:
- Present the most interesting group findings to media and further the case for dogs to be integrated into our society and law
- Present the most interesting group findings to social media for a laugh
- Present the most interesting group findings to entrants who wish to be notified of survey results
- Administer sweepstakes with personalised email if you choose to opt into find out more about Scratch Pet Health Pty Ltd upon the conclusion of the survey (optional and deactivated by default, with no email required to submit responses).
- Deliver targeted advertising options to you.
- Remarketing by Scratch Pet Health Pty Ltd and it’s trusted partners.
- Market research for Scratch Pet Health Pty Ltd, helping to educate on attitudes to dogs, ownership, products and lifestyle
Will your data be shared with any other organisation?

These partners are obligated to protect your information in accordance with applicable data protection laws and their privacy policies. If you do not wish for your email address to be used for these purposes, you may opt-out at any time by following the opt-out instructions provided in the marketing communications or by contacting us directly.
Anonymous data may be shared with Facebook, who may use cookies, web beacons and other storage technologies to provide measurement services and targeted ads. If you enter your email for purposes of receiving results or entering a sweepstakes, these are not shared with Facebook.
