Title: Data Confidentiality Issues from a Federal Agency Perspective
Author(s): Laura Zayatz*+
Companies: U.S. Census Bureau
Address: , Washington, DC, 20233, United States
Keywords: disclosure avoidance ; risk ; utility ; microdata ; tabular data
Abstract:

The Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act (CIPSEA) of 2002 was developed to protect information collected or acquired for exclusively statistical purposes under a pledge of confidentiality. This covers most of the information collected by federal statistical agencies. It is the job of federal agencies to publish as much valuable statistical information as possible without violating the confidentiality of respondents to surveys and censuses. Agencies must preserve data utility while minimizing the disclosure risk for all data products. They employ several methods of disclosure avoidance that either decrease the amount of information released or slightly perturb it. The presenter will discuss types of data products, the risks they present, and methods currently used for protecting them.
