I don't believe they are 100% private. What they mean, in my opinion, is they generally don't care who sends in a certain response. There are just too many of them for them to be too interested in any particular survey response. However, they did mention that the code tells them which village the survey came from. Does it tell them more than that? Does it give them access to your address? If they have your address, they might have a way of coming up with your name too.
They have been telling people to come in to the office if they didn't get a survey. If they don't have an address code, how can they protect against those who go to the office for a second, third, forth or fifth survey? If each of us is not on record, how would they know? Try going in to the office to get a second survey (tell them you didn't get one) and see if they ask for your name and/or address. If they do ask, tell them, "no", it's supposed to be anonymous. Just tell them what Village you're from.
That being the case, anyone could come for a survey from other nearby subdivisions. Is that what we are to believe?
