Solution

It would be all right to use an idea or data from that report (not considered as plagiarism), if you summarize those ideas and data in your own words and acknowledge the source. Even if you use quotation marks around the copied text, it is still necessary to give credit to the original source. Getting permission from the original author is also a good practice, but it does not exempt you from citing the source. The percentage of matching text returned by Turnitin or any other plagiarism detection software does not determine whether something is plagiarized or not. Plagiarism is about using someone else's work without giving proper credit, regardless of how much or little of the work you use.
