By ordering a SAP Innovation and Optimization Pathfinder report, you agree to the applicable terms and conditions available on the Pathfinder web site (and provided to you in writing upon request).

Please be aware that the Pathfinder report is a high-level planning tool to get an overview of the relevant innovations, potential business processes improvements and IT optimizations for SAP Software. It does not cover all functional benefits that may be relevant for planning of your implementation. Data contained in the Pathfinder report may be changed without prior notice and is provided for informational purposes to SAP customers only. For more detailed information, especially with respect to process or scenario-specific information, please refer to the SAP web site located at http://www.sap.com/Pathfinder.

Before you perform any tasks related to the software lifecycle, you still have to consult the relevant documentation, such as Master Guides, documents provided in SAP Support Portal, support package stack guides, and SAP Notes. You cannot rely on the results of the Pathfinder report. If you need individual guidance and support for your installation, upgrade or improvement project, please contact your local SAP consulting organization for further advice.

Privacy Statement

“Data controller in case of SAP Innovation and Optimization Pathfinder is SAP SE, Dietmar-Hopp-Allee 16, 69190 Walldorf, Germany (“SAP”), with its data protection officer Mathias Cellarius (privacy@ sap.com). “SAP will only store your name, phone number and email address (your “Personal Data”) for as long as it is required for the delivery of the Pathfinder report and related follow-up activities. Further, if you grant SAP your consent to provide you with marketing materials as further set out below, SAP will use your Personal Data until you revoke your consent granted hereunder. Plus, in both cases, where applicable, any additional periods under applicable laws during which SAP has to retain your Personal Data. Any provision of your Personal Data is entirely voluntarily for you. However, without this information it will unfortunately not be possible for SAP to provide the Pathfinder report to you. When processing your request, SAP may transfer your Personal Data outside of the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) where a statutory level of data protection applies that is not comparable to the level of data protection within the EEA. In order to still apply an EEA-like level of data protection to your Personal Data, such transfer is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (according to EU Commission Decision 87/2010/EC or any replacement terms) to contractually establish a level of data protection to your Personal Data that does also apply within the EEA. You may obtain a redacted copy (in order to remove commercial and not relevant information) of such Standard Contractual Clauses by sending a request to privacy@sap.com

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 or will delete your Personal Data only if there is no statutory obligation or prevailing right of SAP to retain it. Kindly note further that if you request that SAP deletes 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, or(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. Please direct any such request to Pathfinder@sap.com. If you take the view 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 where you live or with the data protection authority of the country or state where SAP has its registered seat. This offering is not directed to users of an age of below 16 years. If you are younger than 16, you may not register with and use offering.

Processing Purposes

SAP will use your Personal Data to i) perform the contractual relationship to you under which SAP will deliver to you the Pathfinder report and related follow-up activities and ii) if you grant SAP your consent to provide you with marketing materials. If you grant your consent to SAP, SAP may use your Personal Data as well as an interaction profile based on prior interactions with SAP (prior purchases, participation in webinars, seminars or events or the use of (web) services - further details on this topic can be found in the TrustArc Consent Manager displayed on the relevant SAP website, or if the TrustArc Consent Manager is not available, above) in order to keep you up to date on the latest product announcements, software updates, software upgrades, special offers, and other information about SAP’s software and services (including marketing-related newsletters) as well as events of SAP and in order to display relevant content on SAP’s websites. In connection with these marketing-related activities, SAP may provide a hashed user ID to third party operated social networks or other web offerings (such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram or Google) where this information is then matched against the social networks’ data or the web offerings’ own data bases in order to display to you more relevant information. If you grant your consent to SAP, SAP may transfer your Personal Data to other affiliated companies within the SAP’s group of undertakings for the purpose to inform you about SAP’s latest products, service offers and events in the same way as SAP may hereunder. Any such use of information is based on the consent you grant hereunder. You may withdraw your consent for SAP to process your Personal Information as stated herein at any time. Once you assert this right, SAP will not process Personal Information any longer unless legally required to do so. However, any withdrawal has no effect on past processing by SAP up to the point in time of your withdrawal. Please direct any such request to pathfinder@sap.com.
