No. Every question is optional. Skip anything you're not comfortable with. There is no penalty for leaving something blank.
Never. Your information is never shared with immigration agencies, police departments, or any government body. This is not a government form.
Yes. Ask us to remove your data at any time and we will do it, no questions asked.
The Dena Census is built and run by residents of the Dena community — not a nonprofit, not a government agency, not an outside organization.
No. Your contact information and your survey answers are stored in completely separate places, like two locked boxes that never open at the same time.
Only Dena Census organizers. Your name and phone number are only used to reach you — they are never published or included in any report.
Your answers are combined with everyone else's and reported as numbers and percentages — never as a story about you individually. For example: "38% of residents over 65 reported mobility needs."
Reports go to community organizations and local leaders who can direct resources to the neighborhood. Your data is never sold.
If fewer than 10 people share a characteristic, that group is never reported separately. Small groups are folded in or left out to protect privacy.
