Planned Changes
The items in this section are targeted for future releases. Concur reserves the right to postpone implementation of – or completely remove – any enhancement/change mentioned here.
**Planned Change** New Feature for Outdated Data
This new feature will allow clients to control how long SAP Concur stores their data based on who, when and where criteria.
Business Purpose/Client Benefit: This feature gives clients the ability to meet their specific compliance needs regarding data retention.
**Planned Change** Support for Plain Text FTP to End 15 May, 2018
Concur is announcing the end of support for plain text FTP as a means to transfer data to and from Concur.
Plain text FTP is not a secured protocol and has inherent security vulnerabilities. On 15th May, 2018, Concur Operations will apply a security update to our File Transfer infrastructure, restricting the use of plain text FTP as a part of our ongoing commitment to securing our customers’ data and meeting the audited security requirements of the "Concur Trust Platform".
**Planned Change** Removing the "Privacy Agreement" Page
For customers who currently display the Privacy Agreement page to users, be aware that – targeted for May – SAP Concur will eliminate that page. That means the privacy agreement will no longer display under any circumstances. In addition, the options to customise the privacy agreement text and to apply policy (for example, to require that a user accept the privacy agreement) will be removed.
In a separate release, SAP Concur will provide a standard privacy statement, which can be accessed via a link in the page footer.
Business Purpose/Client Benefit: The intent of the change is to ensure that all customers see the same unmodified SAP Concur privacy statement.
**Planned Change** New Privacy Statement Planned for May Release
In the release note named **Planned Changes** Removing the "Privacy Agreement" Page, we describe changes that will occur when the current customisable privacy policy is discontinued. We also discuss the new Privacy Statement that SAP Concur will provide as a requirement of being a "processor" of customer data.
The intent is to replace all occurrences of customised or unique policy text – in all SAP Concur products and the mobile app – with the SAP Concur Processor Privacy Statement, which describes our processing activities of customer data.
Be aware that the new text will be available soon, targeted for May.
Business Purpose/Client Benefit: The intent of the change is to ensure that all customers see the same unmodified SAP Concur privacy statement.
