CBS is legally obliged to treat all the data collected as strictly confidential. With this in mind CBS has taken a variety of measures to protect your data. All the interviewers will have a CBS identification document which they must show on request so that everyone can be sure that the data is being collected by CBS.

CBS understands that providing information in these difficult times is no simple matter. However, reliable data on the situation in the Caribbean Netherlands is extremely important.

Right now, there is an even greater need among government bodies, scientists, businesses and citizens for information on how the Caribbean Netherlands and its residents are doing. That is why CBS is continuing to collect data. CBS hopes that all residents will still be  willing to provide this data and would like to thank everyone in advance for their cooperation.
