Privacy Information

Why do we need detailed information?

Your information, combined with that of other participating households provides a general representation of your entire region. 

Demographic information provided additional details about your travel choices, which provides an insight into the future transportation infrastructure, programming, and investment needs. 

Your Privacy is Assured

The DalTRAC team is dedicated to protecting the privacy of its participants. The risks associated with this research are very minimal, with no direct risk to participants. Protecting your privacy is critical to the success of this survey.

All information collected will be kept strictly confidential and used to produce statistical summaries only. We will remove your identifying information at the beginning of data processing. Any identifying information will be replaced by random access codes. Although directly identifying data will be removed, indirectly identifying information may still be present in the data. Therefore, DalTRAC research students will maintain strict confidentiality protocols in accessing the datasets for research and transportation planning purposes. 

Names, addresses, and phone numbers are destroyed at the conclusion of the survey's data collection phase.
