Privacy Statement
Version 7
Protecting the individual's privacy on the Internet is crucial to the future of Internet-based business and the move toward a true Internet economy. We have created this Privacy Statement to demonstrate our firm commitment to the individual`s right to data protection and privacy. This Privacy Statement outlines how we handle information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify an individual ("Personal Data").
A. General Information
Data Controller. The data controller of the Customer Influence site (https://influence.sap.com/sap/ino/) is SAP SE, Dietmar-Hopp-Allee 16, 69190 Walldorf, Germany (“SAP”). The SAP Group’s data protection officer is Mathias Cellarius (privacy@sap.com).
What does SAP do with my Personal Data? SAP will process your name, company name, your company’s postal address, email address, user id, and your assignment to a SAP user group (your “Personal Data”) only as set out in this Privacy Statement. Further information can be found in Sections B. and C. below. Where the processing of your Personal Data is based on a statutory permission, you can find information on which Personal Data SAP is processing or using for which purposes in Section B below. Where consent for the processing of your Personal Data is required you can find further information in Section C. below.
Duration of processing of Personal Data. SAP will only store your Personal Data (i) for as long as it is required for you to be active on the Customer Influence site or (ii) until you withdraw your consent (where you consented to SAP using your Personal Data).
Being active is defined by you logging on to the Customer Influence site. In case you do not logon to the site for more than 3 years, your Personal Data will be deleted automatically. User uploaded content like improvement requests, votes and comments will be anonymized and are no longer linked to your user account. SAP will inform you per email prior to the deletion of your account.
However, where SAP is required by mandatory law to retain your Personal Data longer or where your Personal Data is required for SAP to assert or defend against legal claims, SAP will retain your Personal Data until the end of the relevant retention period or until the claims in question have been settled.
Why am I required to provide Personal Data? SAP requires your Personal Data to enable you to get access to protected content on the Customer Influence site and to enable you to attend the SAP events that are of interest for you. Any provision of this information is entirely voluntarily for you. However, without this information it will unfortunately not be possible for SAP to make the relevant content and SAP events available to you.
Where will my Personal Data be processed? As part of a global group of companies, SAP has affiliates and third-party service providers within as well as outside of the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). As a consequence, whenever SAP is using or otherwise processing your Personal Data for the purposes set out in this Privacy Statement, SAP may transfer your Personal Data to countries outside of the EEA including to such countries in which a statutory level of data protection applies that is not comparable to the level of data protection within the EEA. Whenever such transfer occurs, it is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (according to EU Commission Decision 87/2010/EC or any future replacement) in order to contractually provide that your Personal Data is subject to a level of data protection that applies within the EEA. You may obtain a redacted copy (from which commercial information and information that is not relevant has been removed) of such Standard Contractual Clauses by sending a request to privacy@sap.com.
Data subjects’ rights. You can request from SAP at any time information about which Personal Data SAP processes about you and the correction or deletion of such Personal Data. Please note, however, that SAP can delete your Personal Data only if there is no statutory obligation or prevailing right of SAP to retain it. Kindly note that if you request that SAP delete your Personal Data, you will not be able to continue to use any SAP service that requires SAP’s use of your Personal Data.
If SAP uses your Personal Data based on your consent or to perform a contract with you, you may further request from SAP a copy of the Personal Data that you have provided to SAP. In this case, please contact the email address below and specify the information or processing activities to which your request relates, the format in which you would like this information, and whether the Personal Data is to be sent to you or another recipient. SAP will carefully consider your request and discuss with you how it can best fulfill it.
Furthermore, you can request from SAP that SAP restricts your Personal Data from any further processing in any of the following events: (i) you state that the Personal Data SAP has about you is incorrect, (but only for as long as SAP requires to check the accuracy of the relevant Personal Data), (ii) there is no legal basis for SAP processing your Personal Data and you demand that SAP restricts your Personal Data from further processing, (iii) SAP no longer requires your Personal Data but you claim that you require SAP to retain such data in order to claim or exercise legal rights or to defend against third party claims or (iv) in case you object to the processing of your Personal Data by SAP (based on SAP’s legitimate interest as further set out in B. below) for as long as it is required to review as to whether SAP has a prevailing interest or legal obligation in processing your Personal Data.
Your name and company, and proposals and comments you make are visible to other registered users. You should therefore not include any Personal Data of yourself and must not include any Personal Data of others in such proposals or comments. You can request to get your user profile or content (improvement requests, votes, comments) deleted at any time.
Please direct any such request to influencing@sap.com.
Right to lodge a complaint. If you believe that SAP is not processing your Personal Data in accordance with the requirements set out herein or applicable EEA data protection laws, you can at any time lodge a complaint with the data protection authority of the EEA country in which you live or with the data protection authority of the country or state in which SAP has its registered seat.
Use of this website by children. This website is not intended for anyone under the age of 16 years. If you are younger than 16, you may not register with or use this website.
Links to other websites. This website may contain links to foreign (meaning non-SAP Group companies) websites.

Therefore, we recommend that you carefully read the privacy statements of such foreign sites.
B. Where SAP uses My Personal Data based on the Law
In the following cases, SAP is permitted to process your Personal Data under the applicable data protection law.
Providing the requested goods or services. If you order goods or services from SAP, SAP will use the Personal Data that you enter into the order or registration form (usually (a subset of) your name, email address, company name and address, and if chosen your affiliation to a SAP user group) only to process your order or to provide the requested goods or service. This may include taking the necessary steps prior to entering into the contract, responding to your related inquiries, and providing you with shipping and billing information and to process or provide customer feedback and support.

Generally, users cannot opt out of these communications, which are not marketing-related but merely required for the relevant business relationship. With regard to marketing-related types of communication (i.e. emails and phone calls), SAP will (i) where legally required only provide you with such information after you have opted in and (ii) provide you the opportunity to opt out if you do not want to receive further marketing-related types of communication from us. You can opt out of these at any time by changing your preferences at https://influence.sap.com/sap/ino/#/my-setting. In case you require assistance contact us at influencing@sap.com.
Ensuring compliance. SAP and its products, technologies, and services are subject to the export laws of various countries including, without limitation, those of the European Union and its member states, and of the United States of America. You acknowledge that, pursuant to the applicable export laws, trade sanctions, and embargoes issued by these countries, SAP is required to take measures to prevent entities, organizations, and parties listed on government-issued sanctioned-party lists from accessing certain products, technologies, and services through SAP’s websites or other delivery channels controlled by SAP. This may include (i) automated checks of any user registration data as set out herein and other information a user provides about his or her identity against applicable sanctioned-party lists; (ii) regular repetition of such checks whenever a sanctioned-party list is updated or when a user updates his or her information; (iii) blocking of access to SAP’s services and systems in case of a potential match; and (iv) contacting a user to confirm his or her identity in case of a potential match.
Furthermore, you acknowledge that any information required to track your choices regarding the processing or use of your Personal Data may be stored and exchanged between members of the SAP Group as required to ensure compliance.
SAP’s legitimate interest. Each of the use cases below constitutes a legitimate interest of SAP to process or use your Personal Data. If you do not agree with this approach, you may object against SAP’s processing or use of your Personal Data as set out below.
Questionnaires and surveys. SAP may invite you to participate in questionnaires and surveys. These questionnaires and surveys will be generally designed in a way that they can be answered without any Personal Data. If you nonetheless enter Personal Data in a questionnaire or survey, SAP may use such Personal Data to improve its products and services.
Creation of anonymized data sets. SAP may anonymize Personal Data provided under this Privacy Statement to create anonymized data sets, which will then be used to improve its and its affiliates’ products and services.
Right to object. You may object to SAP using Personal Data for the above purposes at any time by contacting us at influencing@sap.com. If you do so, SAP will cease using your Personal Data for the above purposes (that is to say, under a legitimate interest set out above) and remove it from its systems unless SAP is permitted to use such Personal Data for another purpose set out in this Privacy Statement or SAP determines and demonstrates a compelling legitimate interest to continue processing your Personal Data.
C. Where SAP uses My Personal Data based on My Consent
In the following cases SAP will only use your Personal Data as further detailed below after you have granted your prior consent into the relevant processing operations.
Participation in SAP'S CUSTOMER INFLUENCE PROGRAMS. SAP may use any information entered by you which can be used to directly or indirectly identify you.

This may include but is not limited to:
* Invitations to phone calls, workshops, software tests, surveys, presentations of projects results

Creating user profiles. Access to the Customer Influence site requires you to register and create a user profile. User profiles provide the option to display personal information about you to other users, including but not limited to your name, photo, and basic information about your company.
These profiles may relate to a single web offering of SAP or, if created in the SAP Cloud Platform Identity Authentication Service, may also allow you to access other web offerings of SAP or of other entities of the SAP Group, or both (irrespective of any consent granted under the section “Forwarding your Personal Data to other SAP companies.” below). It is, however, always your choice which of these additional web offerings you use and your Personal Data is only forwarded to them once you initially access them. Kindly note that without your consent for SAP to create such user profiles SAP will not be in a position to offer such services to you where your consent is a statutory requirement that SAP can provide these services to you.
Within any web offering, beyond the mere provision of access your profile is used to personalize interaction with other users (for example, by way of messaging or follow functionality) and by SAP to foster the quality of communication and collaboration through such offerings and for SAP to provide gamification elements (gamification is the process of taking something that already exists, such as a website, an enterprise application, or an online community, and integrating game mechanics into it to motivate participation, engagement, and loyalty).
Event profiling. If you register for an event, seminar, or webinar of SAP, SAP may share basic participant information (your name, company, and email address) with other participants of the same event, seminar, or webinar for the purpose of communication and the exchange of ideas.
Forwarding your Personal Data to other SAP companies. SAP may transfer your Personal Data to other entities in the SAP Group. The current list of SAP Group entities can be found here. In such cases, these entities will then use the Personal Data for the same purposes and under the same conditions as outlined in this Section C. above.
Forwarding your Personal Data to SAP User Groups. IF YOU SELECT A USER GROUP IN YOUR USER PROFILE for transparency reasons, SAP may forward your personal data in conjunction with the project(s) you are active in to representatives of the respective SAP user group. ONLY USER GROUPS REPRESENTATIVES WHICH ARE RESPONSIBLE TO OVERSEE THE PROGRAMS OFFERED VIA SAP'S CUSTOMER INFLUENCE SITE (e.g. the user group back office or the user group board of directors) are appropriate to receive such information.
Activities that may be forwarded are submission of improvement requests, votes and comments made on improvement requests, registration and following of influence opportunities, and following an area of interest.
The current list of SAP User Groups can be found here. If you are not a member of any SAP User Group listed on the Customer Influence site, please select “None”. You might also change your prior settings at any time at https://influence.sap.com/sap/ino/#/my-setting.

However, any withdrawal has no effect on past processing of personal data by SAP up to the point in time of your withdrawal. Furthermore, if your use of an SAP offering requires your prior consent, SAP will not be (any longer) able to provide the relevant service (or services, if you revoke the consent for SAP to use your profile under the SAP Cloud Platform Identity Authentication Service for multiple SAP offerings), offer or event to you after your revocation.
