> Multiple confidentiality issues arise in the production of the CPI. One set of issues arises out of the need to prevent
unauthorized access of data that are embargoed, or yet to be released to the public. because the CPI data can
affect financial markets, it is essential to ensure that no one without authorization has access to the data before release. BLS personnel who do see the data ahead of time are restricted by law from engaging in certain financial
transactions during the period where they have seen data that are not public. Pre-release data are encrypted and
always kept on secure servers, with any hard copies locked in secured areas.
- schoen 6y agoWait, so nobody who participates in CPI surveys chooses to publish the specific questions? Is it illegal for the respondents to do that? I know somebody who got a CPI survey last year -- maybe I can ask her.

Good luck, this type of data is really really guarded as it is ridiculously valuable.
