Private information.

Public behavior.

Answer 1

Public information

Step-by-step explanation:

The Unites States Census Bureau is responsible for collecting and producing data about the American people and the American economy. It forms part of the U.S. Department of Commerce and its director is appointed by the President.

Census data is used by the government only and the records are publicly accessible 72 years after the last Census Day. This is done in order to protect civil rights and the privacy of people.

Any person can request their own records of the Census, even before the 72-year protection clause expires. The records can be given only to the named person, its family or heirs and legal representatives.
