AI 中文摘要
国家统计组织（NSOs）等团体在与潜在受访者、数据使用者及其他利益相关者沟通时常用“仅用于统计目的”一词。该词也是许多NSO运营和道德决策的重要依据。虽公众交流常省略其明确操作定义，但本文通过审查相关法律政策发现两个主要标准：一是生成有关较大人口总体的统计信息以创造公共利益；二是保护数据主体数据机密性及禁止将其用于法律或监管行动。接着探讨了该词在更广泛法律要求及科学和专业实践准则中的存在与解释，并给出基于这些及其他道德框架的更宽泛定义。最后强调了几个值得进一步讨论的领域以助NSO应对未来挑战。
英文摘要
National Statistical Organizations (NSOs) and other groups often use the term "for statistical purposes only" in communication with prospective respondents, data users and other stakeholders. This term also provides an important anchor for many NSO decisions on operations and ethics. Although public communication often omits a clear operational definition of this term, this paper will show that reviews of underlying laws and policies identify two predominant criteria: (1) production of statistical information about relatively large population aggregates, with the intention of creating a general public benefit; and (2) protection of the confidentiality of data collected about data subjects and a related prohibition against the use of information provided by or about data subjects for legal or regulatory action against those individuals or organizations. We then explore how this term exists, and is often interpreted, within a much broader landscape of legal requirements and of scientific and professional codes of practice, and provide a broader definition for consideration based on these and other ethical frameworks. This paper closes by highlighting several areas that warrant further discussion to better position NSOs to navigate these challenges in the future.
