The purpose of collecting information in Topical 13 (November) is to conduct experiments on using auxiliary data, “don’t know” responses, and dependent data. For Topical 14 (December) we will collect data using Household Pulse Survey content.

Disclosure of this information is also subject to all of the published routine uses as identified in the Privacy Act System of Records Notice COMMERCE/Census-3 Demographic Survey Collection (Census Bureau Sampling Frame).

Staff (employees and contractors) received training on privacy and confidentiality policies and practices; access to PII is restricted to authorized personnel only. Personally identifiable information collected includes name, address, telephone/cell phone number, DOB or age, email address, race or ethnicity.

FedRAMP-approved computer systems that maintain sensitive information are in compliance with the Federal Information Security Management Act. Unsecured telecommunications to transmit individually identifiable information is prohibited.
