For what purposes does SAP process your Personal Data?
SAP processes your personal data in order to ensure an adequate level of security for and at SAP´s premises.
This process allows SAP to provide you with access to SAP facilities and to ensure the security and safety of all SAP employees, suppliers, visitors, and assets across all global SAP locations. This allows SAP to comply with statutory obligations, including identification verification prior to or during access to any SAP-owned or leased facility.
Although providing personal data is voluntary, without your personal data, SAP cannot provide you with access to SAP-owned or leased facilities.
What categories of Personal Data does SAP process?
If you move about or access SAP´s premises, we collect your images via video surveillance cameras, consisting of a recording of your activities excluding sound or voice. In addition, we collect a picture of your license plate in the parking areas (your "personal data").
Your Personal Data is predominantly stored in Australia. However, your Personal Data may be stored in systems on our international server. In this event the likely location of the storage will be Japan.
From What Types of Third Parties does SAP obtain Personal Data?
In most cases SAP collects Personal Data directly from you. SAP might also obtain Personal Data from a third party, if the applicable national law allows SAP to do so. SAP will treat this Personal Data according to this Privacy Statement, plus any additional restrictions imposed by the third party that provided SAP with it or the applicable national law. These third-party sources include:
SAP and/or SAP Group’s business dealings with your employer
How long does SAP store your Personal Data?
SAP will store your personal data for a period of maximum, 90 days. If the video surveillance recording is required for the investigation of an incident it can be kept for as long as necessary to conclude the investigation.
SAP may retain your Personal Data for additional periods if necessary for compliance with legal obligations to process your Personal Data or if the Personal Data is needed by SAP to assert or defend itself 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.
Who are the recipients of your Personal Data?
Your Personal Data will be passed on to the following categories of third parties to process your Personal Data:
companies within the SAP Group;
third party service providers, including contracted security agencies that are contracted to provide security services at SAP; and
SAP legal or local or federal law enforcement agencies, as the result of any corporate criminal or other security investigations
How does SAP justify international data transfers?
As part of a global group of companies operating internationally, SAP has affiliates (the “SAP Group”) and third-party service providers outside Australia and may transfer your Personal Data to countries outside Australia. SAP uses the EU standard contractual clauses to contractually require that your Personal Data receives a level of data protection consistent with the laws of Australia. You can obtain a copy (redacted to remove commercial or irrelevant) of such standard contractual clauses by sending a request to privacy[@]sap.com.
What are your data protection rights?
Right to access and correct
You can request from SAP at any time access to information about which Personal Data SAP processes about you and, if necessary, the correction 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.
How can you exercise your data protection rights?
Please direct any requests to exercise your rights or make a complaint to SAP-Physical-Sec-Privacy[@]sap.com or +61 2 9935 4500. We’ll deal with the matter within a reasonable time and keep you informed of the progress.
Right to lodge a complaint
If you take the view that SAP is not processing your Personal Data in accordance with the requirements in this Privacy Statement or under applicable data protection laws, you can at any time, to the extent required by applicable law, lodge a complaint with your locally relevant data protection authority, specifically when you are located in an EEA country, or with the data protection authority of the country or state where SAP has its registered seat. In Australia, a complaint should first be made to SAP as required by section 40(1A) of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
How will SAP verify requests to exercise data protection rights?
SAP will take steps to ensure that it verifies your identity to a reasonable degree of certainty before it will process the data protection right you want to exercise. When feasible, SAP will match Personal Data provided by you in submitting a request to exercise your rights with information already maintained by SAP. This could include matching two or more data points you provide when you submit a request with two or more data points that are already by SAP.
SAP will decline to process requests that are manifestly unfounded, excessive, fraudulent, or are not otherwise required by local law.
How does SAP comply with reasonable security practises and procedures
SAP will regularly review and update its security practices and procedures to reasonably adhere to the international standards such as NIST security requirements, local law enforcement regulations and guidelines, and the appropriate physical security best practices and procedures as defined and implemented by People Protect, Global Physical Security at SAP.
