Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) requires all users to keep information and data strictly confidential.
In this regard, before being granted access to datasets, all users have to formally agree to observe the following:

1) To make no copies of any files or portions of files to which access has been
granted except with the authorization by GSS

2) Not to willfully identify any individual or household or establishment in the dataset

3) To hold in strictest confidence the identification of any individual or household or
establishment that may be inadvertently revealed in any documents or discussion,
or analysis.
Such inadvertent identification revealed should be immediately brought
to the attention of GSS.

Three levels of accessibility are considered by GSS:

1) Public use files, accessible by all
2) Licensed datasets, accessible under certain conditions
3) Datasets only accessible on location


The following terms and conditions apply:

1. The data and other materials will not be redistributed or sold to other individuals,
institutions, or organizations without the written agreement of GSS.
2. The data will be used for statistical and scientific research purposes only. They
will be used solely for reporting of aggregated information, and not for investigation
of specific individuals or organizations.
3. No attempt will be made to re-identify respondents, and no use will be made of
the identity of any person or establishment discovered inadvertently. Any such
discovery would immediately be reported to the GSS.
4. No attempt will be made to produce links among datasets provided by the GSS
with other datasets that could identify individuals or organizations.
