For what purposes does SAP process your Personal Data and based on what legal basis?
Depending on the applicable law, the Processing of Personal Data is subject to a justification,
sometimes referred to as legal basis. The legal basis varies depending on the applicable law and
may be subject to deviations, limitations or exceptions resulting from applicable laws.
SAP's compliance with statutory obligations
- SAP processes your Personal Data for the purpose of ensuring an adequate level of technical
and organizational security of SAP's products, services, online events, facilities, and
premises. For this, SAP will take the measures necessary to verify or maintain the quality
and safety of a product or service which is owned, manufactured by or for, or controlled by
SAP. This may comprise the use of Personal Data for sufficient identification and
authorization of designated users, internal quality control through auditing, analysis, and
research, debugging to identify and repair errors that impair existing or intended
functionality, account and network security, replication for loss prevention, detecting
security incidents, protection against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal
activity, and prosecuting those responsible for such kind of activity. We may further
process your name, likeness, and other contact or compliance related data when you visit a
local SAP affiliate or lab in the context of access management and video surveillance to
protect the security and safety of Our locations and assets.
- 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. Applicable export laws, trade sanctions, and embargoes
issued by these countries oblige SAP to prevent organizations, legal entities and other
parties listed on government-issued sanctioned-party lists from accessing certain products,
technologies, and services through SAP's websites or other delivery channels (e.g. the
European Union Sanctions List, the US sanctions lists including the Bureau of Industry and
Security's (BIS) Denied Persons Lists (DPL), the Office of Foreign Assets Control's (OFAC)
Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN-List) and the US DOCs Bureau of
Industry and Security's Entity Lists and the United Nations Security Council Sanctions). SAP
processes Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with these legal requirements.
Specifically, SAP processes Personal Data to conduct automated checks against applicable
sanctioned-party lists, to regularly repeat such checks whenever a sanctioned-party list is
updated or when a user updates his or her information. In case of a potential match, SAP
will block the access to SAP's services and systems and contact the user to confirm his or
her identity.
- If necessary, SAP uses Personal Data to prevent or prosecute criminal activities such as any
form of cybercrime, the illegal use of Our products and services or fraud, to assert Our
rights or defend SAP against legal claims.
- To comply with data protection and unfair competition law related requirements. Depending on
the country in which the relevant SAP Group company operates, SAP may process Personal Data
necessary to accommodate your data protection and privacy choices for the receipt of such
information and, when necessary to ensure compliance, exchange such information with the
other entities of the SAP Group.
When ensuring compliance, SAP processes your Personal Data if and to the extend to fulfill legal
requirements under Vietnamese law to which SAP is subject.
