These reference levels come from our own casework, 150+ profitability engagements since 2010, set by industry and company size. They are our practitioner benchmark, not a survey of companies like yours. Peer figures by industry and size arrive with the State of Costing report, once the sample is large enough to carry them.

1. What Data We Collect

When you complete the Profit Check, we collect:

  • Company name, industry, and company size
  • Your responses to 14 assessment questions and any optional comments
  • If voluntarily provided: your name, professional email, job title, revenue range, and challenge description

We do not collect any financial, operational, or confidential business data. Your answers to the 14 questions are never sent to an analytics or advertising provider.

Cookies and measurement on this page. This page loads Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-L5HNZN655T) when it opens. Analytics 4 stores nothing on your device and reads nothing from it until you have agreed to audience measurement in the privacy notice on our main site. This page shows no notice of its own, so if you have not answered it anywhere else, nothing is stored. Once you have agreed, Analytics 4 sets two cookies of our own domain, _ga and _ga_L5HNZN655T, which hold a randomly generated identifier for your browser, and it reports to Google the pages you view together with your device and browser type and an approximate location derived from your IP address. Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), and for the storing of and access to information on your device, Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive as transposed by Portuguese Law 41/2004, Article 5. You can withdraw that consent at any time, as easily as you gave it, through “Cookie settings” in the footer of our main site. Open this link to switch analytics off in this browser — it stores a single preference cookie, cnp_noan, which contains nothing but that choice, and Google Analytics is then no longer loaded in this browser. It opens in a new tab, so your answers here are not affected. You can also object by writing to info@costandprofitability.com. Your browser’s tracking protection and content blockers remain fully effective.

No session recording, no advertising tag and no third-party tracking pixel runs on this page.

2. Purpose and Legal Basis

We process your data for the following purposes:

  • Assessment delivery (contractual necessity, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): to generate your maturity score, radar chart, and recommendations.
  • Personalized report (consent, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): if you opt in, to prepare and send you a detailed 24-hour deep-dive report.
  • Anonymized benchmarking and research (legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): to improve our benchmarks, publish aggregated industry insights, and enhance the quality of this assessment. Individual responses are never published or shared in identifiable form.
  • Commercial follow-up (consent, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): only if you provide your email and opt in, we may contact you about relevant services.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes. Data may be shared with:

  • Our own CostCtrl platform, for assessment processing. CostCtrl is the trading name of Cost and Profitability Consulting, Lda. itself, not a separate company, so this is not a disclosure to a third party
  • Service providers who assist us in operating this tool, bound by data processing agreements
  • Authorities if required by law

4. Data Retention

Assessment responses are retained for up to 3 years for benchmarking purposes. Personal contact details are retained for the duration of our business relationship plus 24 months, or until you request deletion, whichever comes first; if you are a marketing subscriber, until you unsubscribe plus 12 months. Anonymized, aggregated data may be retained indefinitely.

5. Your Rights (GDPR Articles 15-22)

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to:

  • Access your personal data we hold
  • Rectify inaccurate data
  • Erase your data ("right to be forgotten")
  • Restrict processing of your data
  • Data portability (receive your data in a structured format)

  • Withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@costandprofitability.com.

6. Supervisory Authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Portuguese Data Protection Authority (Comissao Nacional de Protecao de Dados, CNPD) at www.cnpd.pt, or with the supervisory authority of your country of residence.
