The only way to calculate a meaningful Benchmark Report for your company is with real and current financial data. We've drafted this Privacy Statement to assure you that your data is treated with the utmost confidence and security.

What we collect
On the Benchmark Report site you provide Fourth Shift Corporation with data regarding the performance of your company, some of which may be confidential in nature. The type of information collected includes Assets, Liabilities, Net Worth, and Income.

How we hold it confidential
The information collected on this site is used to calculate the most complete and current benchmark report possible for your company. Specifically, we use the information to help calculate the report, communicate back to you, update you on service and benefits, and to personalize the site for our larger audience.

From time to time, we may also use the information to contact you for market research or to provide you with information we think would be of particular interest. At a minimum, we will always give you the opportunity to opt out of receiving such information or market research contact. We will also follow local requirements, such as allowing you to opt in before receiving unsolicited contact, where applicable.

Data collected on the Benchmark Report site may also be combined with information you provide when you use other Fourth Shift materials or Fourth Shift products or services.

Fourth Shift will not sell, rent, or lease your confidential information to any third party without your permission. Unless we have your permission or are required by law, we will only share the information with other Fourth Shift entities and/or business partners who are acting on our behalf for the uses described above. Such entities and/or business partners are governed by our privacy policies with respect to the use of this data and are bound by the appropriate confidentiality agreements.
