I think we need to contact them to (maybe) get the actual data. No luck finding a download link on their page, despite them referencing the numbers a lot throughout the site :(

On this link (https://www.ala.org/bbooks/research), they mention that due to the confidential nature, the data is not publically-available and needs to be purchased or accessed through library. Although, I found another database on book censorship: https://www.everylibraryinstitute.org/book_censorship_database_magnusson
Haven't looked through it yet.
