Description

TL;DR

Make it possible for researchers to request a download of overall data rather than response-specific data, especially for fields that raise reidentification risk. E.g. "There were 12 M, 11 F, 1 undisclosed gender" when response-specific gender isn't needed for analysis

Narrative

As a researcher, I want to report summary statistics about my sample but don't need specific data, and I want to lower reidentification risk

Research direction
