Q&A

Hudson questions on data privacy and respondent concerns

New York City Council · Jun 24, 2026 · starts 1:47:35 · 50 sec

Hudson asks how personal information is protected and whether respondents express concerns. Rivera confirms data is voluntary, confidential, and anonymous, and says she is not aware of any elevated concerns about the survey.

Crystal Hudson

And can you just share how personal information is protected among these respondents?

Rima Rivera

So this information is voluntary, it's kept confidential, it's anonymous, so this information is not shared.

Crystal Hudson

Okay.

Crystal Hudson

Do any respondents express concern about completing the survey in relation to retaliation or data privacy?

Crystal Hudson

And if so, how do you manage those concerns?

Rima Rivera

I'm not aware of anyone who has elevated any concerns regarding the survey,

Rima Rivera

but I would imagine that if there were concerns, we would again emphasize that these responses are confidential, they're anonymous, and that they serve to guide and inform our work.

Crystal Hudson

Thank you.
