Frequently Asked Questions

What security measures have you taken for your website?

The e-Census website has several layers of security to help ensure that your responses remain confidential:

  1. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) – creates an encrypted connection between the e-Census server and the server used by Census respondents
  2. System Timeout – 20 minutes
  3. For initial access the website a user needs the information on printed letter mailed to them and an email address.
  4. Access to the website for continuing users requires the use of assigned login credentials.
