Will my information be kept confidential?

Yes. By law, census data can only be used for statistical purposes. Your responses will be
combined with other households to produce statistics, which never identify your household
or any person in your household. Your information is confidential and protected by law.
The penalty for unlawful disclosure is a fine of up to $250,000 or imprisonment of up to five
years, or both.
