Managing Privacy and Confidentiality Risks with Blended Data—Findings and Reactions 

Protecting privacy and ensuring confidentiality in data is a critical component of modernizing our national data infrastructure. The use of blended data - combining previously collected data sources - presents new considerations for responsible data stewardship. Toward a 21st Century National Data Infrastructure: Managing Privacy and Confidentiality Risks with Blended Data provides a framework for managing disclosure risks that accounts for the unique attributes of blended data and poses a series of questions to guide considered decision-making. Following presentation of the report’s findings and conclusions, discussion leaders will share reflections on implications for statistical policy and best practices for managing privacy risk.
