Credit Research Foundation compiles specific corporate and company data for the purpose of benchmarking the credit and accounts receivable functions. Due to what might be considered sensitive data by some companies, there are safeguards in place to prevent identification of the companies participating in the Credit Research Foundation benchmarking study. No Company identification, except for the subject company receiving the report, will appear on any of our data.

Credit Research Foundation agrees not to disclose to any party (corporation, partnership, proprietorship or individual) the company name, individual name, email address, address, city, state or zip code of any participant in Credit Research Foundation's Benchmarking Study without the written (e-mailed, faxed or mailed) permission of the company supplying the information.

It is understood that the above referenced information is only required on the survey to identify to the Credit Research Foundation the participants in the survey in the case of missing or confusing data and for the purpose of mailing of the results. The identification information is not produced in the report in any manner.
