Confidentiality - policy

Due to the low number of operators and the structure of the sector as well as the public interest in the data, no active confidentiality is applied to the statistics. In particular within the transport of passengers, data identifiable on the main operators are published.

If the general rules of confidentiality of Statistics Denmark were applied, the low number of operators would result in no figures could be published.

The statistics follows the general policy for Data confidentiality by Statistics Denmark
