Running Sageworks Analyst Reports
Sageworks collects the data and other information that you input to run Sageworks Analyst™
reports. The saved data and other information is segregated so personally identifiable
information (i.e., information that identifies a particular client/customer or other
individual) is kept separate from the report data,
i.e. the sensitive financial and company information in a report is not directly associated with a specific individual or company.
Why do we save your data or other information? The reports made available by Sageworks,
Inc. on this site are based on aggregate statistics for industry groups, not specific company data.
We keep and aggregate your report data so we can build and continually improve our industry benchmark database.
Our goal is to provide you with the very best and most up-to-date industry benchmarks, which will, in turn, give you better and more accurate analyses.
We will never publish or sell personally identifiable information, and we agree to maintain the confidentiality of your information. However, Sageworks reserves the right to and does, publish aggregate industry information based upon data and other information that you enter into this Site or other Sageworks’
systems. For example, any data or other information you input into this Site or
other Sageworks system that is classified as being in the residential building construction industry, will be used (in anonymity) to produce aggregate data and benchmarks for that specific industry code. Do not enter data into our systems or use our applications if you do not want your data and other information being used in this manner or contributed to our aggregate database.

Safeguarding Customer Information
The following information outlines the measures taken by Sageworks, Inc. to safeguard customer information.
1) Anonymity: The first measure of safeguarding the confidentiality and security of confidential customer data is to not require a client name in the input area of any of our programs. Sageworks does not require a client name to be entered to generate an analysis. We also recommend in our training sessions that a "code name" be used when submitting data for analysis.
2) Security: Sageworks employs industry-recognized security measures to help protect the personally identifiable information that has been provided to us from loss, misuse, or unauthorized access or alteration. Secure server software (SSL) encrypts all information entered through our web interface and is designed to prevent
such information from being read as it travels over the Internet. Therefore, all of the business
and financial data that is entered into the Sageworks Analyst system
through this site is encrypted through the industry standard SSL.
In addition to SSL security, a VeriSign Security Certificate is applied on our site's servers to protect the confidentiality of your information. VeriSign, Inc.
(NASDAQ: VRSN) is headquartered in Mountain View, CA and is the leading provider of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and digital certificate solutions used by enterprises, web sites,
and consumers to conduct secure communications and transactions over the Internet and private networks.
Please go to http://www.verisign.com
to learn more about this certificate.
Sageworks further protects personally identifiable information stored on our servers by using industry standard computer security products, such as firewalls, as well as carefully developed security procedures and practices.
3) Control of customer data: Users of Sageworks Analyst have full control of all the data that is submitted for analysis.
If users would like to delete a data set at any time for security reasons or any
other reasons, they may do so through a web account.
Sageworks, Inc. commits to maintaining the above measures and to working with our customers with monitoring programs and any modifications that Sageworks determines
are necessary to address any data security concerns.
