The 2016 National Household Education Survey

Data privacy and security

How will the information I provide be protected?

Under no circumstances will information that could potentially identify an individual be released to unauthorized individuals. In addition, direct identifiers (such as names and addresses) must be maintained in files which are physically separate from other research data, and which are accessible only to sworn personnel at the Department of Education and The Census Bureau, the data collection contractor.

Your responses will be combined with those of others to produce statistical summaries and reports. Your individual data will not be reported.
