I'm concerned about sharing personal information about my family.

The information provided to the Census BUREAU IS PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL. The Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015 ensures that your information and data are protected from external cybersecurity risks. Your name, address, and telephone number will never be disclosed or published.  Federal Law TITLE 13 protects everyone’s information. The Census BUREAU cannot share it with HOMEFORWARD, the POLICE, or IMMIGRATION Enforcement. Any violation is punishable by 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Every person, including children, and long-term guests need to be included on your census form.
