Concerns About Confidentiality
Will My Census Information Be Kept Confidential?
There is extremely strong data confidentiality in federal law. Data can only be used for statistical analysis
- Individual records can’t be shared with:
- Other federal agencies (ex: ICE, FBI, DHS)
- State or local governments
- The public
- Wrongful disclosure by a Census Bureau employee can lead to $250,000 fine, up to 5 years prison, or both.
- These protections are in federal law, and cannot be changed by the Trump Administration.
Confidentiality Scenarios
I don’t trust census confidentiality laws.
- These laws are very strong and have been in place for many decades.
- The Trump Administration cannot change these laws.
- In the past, when agencies have improperly requested census information, the Census Bureau refused to do share it.
My [sister, grandfather, roommate] is undocumented, will they be deported if responding to the census?
- The Census Bureau cannot share your personal information with ICE.
- Additionally, government agencies are forbidden from using individual census responses against people.
Didn’t the government use census data to go after people in the past?
- The government did improperly use census data to locate people during WWII. The laws were different at the time.
- Title 13 was strengthened after WWII.
- Civil rights attorneys & advocates are closely monitoring for wrong-doing.
I’m still not comfortable including all my family members / roommates on the census. Can I submit a partial response?
- It is important to count everyone in your household!
- If you are not comfortable counting everyone, count as many people as you are willing to include.
