Statistical confidentiality is dealt by the articles 25-29 of the Law on Statistics of Republika Srpska.

“The data that are collected, processed and stored are considered confidential if it is possible to identify reporting units, directly or indirectly, through these data, thus disclosing individual data. A reporting unit is directly identified through address, i.e. through assigned identification number. An indirect identification is determining identity of a reporting unit through deduction, taking into account all the measures in order to identify the reporting unit.”

“The statistical data must not be submitted to the users if they contain or disclose confidential data. The confidential data are those data for the reporting unit or group that consists of at least three reporting units where the share of one unit in the group exceeds 85%."

"The individual data on legal entities and individuals can be submitted or reported only if the legal entities and individuals gave the consent for their reporting or publishing.”

During performing their tasks that are determined with this Law, the Institute will act in accordance with the Law on protection of personal data (Official Gazette of BiH, 49/06).
