Privacy Policy
Who we are
This site (developers.sap.com Tutorial Platform) is operated by
SAP SE and its affiliates. The data controller for personal data
processed via the site depends on your country of residence — see the
“Who is the controller of your personal data?” section of the
SAP Privacy Statement
for the country-specific controller and contact address.
You can reach the SAP Group’s Data Protection Officer at any time at privacy@sap.com.
What we collect and why
Account data
When you sign in with your SAP account, we receive identifiers from the SAP Identity Provider:
- A user identifier (subject ID)
- Your given name, family name, and email address
We use this data to:
- Display your name and avatar in the site header
- Personalise the Joule chat experience
- Associate your tutorial-progress records with your account
Tutorial progress
When you mark a tutorial step complete, we store:
- The tutorial slug and step number
- A timestamp
- Your account identifier
This data enables progress tracking, completion paths, and event leaderboards. It is retained for the lifetime of your account.
Audit logs
We maintain audit logs for security and compliance purposes
(via the @cap-js/audit-logging framework). These logs record access to
personal data and are retained according to SAP retention policies.
Joule chat
When you use the Joule assistant on the site, the messages you send are processed by an AI model to generate responses. Chat transcripts are stored in your browser’s sessionStorage and are not sent to our servers unless required to fulfil your request.
What we do not collect
- We do not currently use analytics or advertising trackers on the site.
- We do not sell personal data.
- We do not share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Legal basis for processing (EU/UK)
- Contract — to provide you with access to tutorials and progress tracking after you log in.
- Legitimate interest — to maintain audit logs and protect the site against abuse.
- Consent — for any future analytics or non-essential cookies, if and when introduced.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate data
- Request deletion (“right to be forgotten”)
- Object to processing or request portability
- Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority
To exercise these rights, use the SAP Privacy Statement contact form. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.
Account deletion
You can request deletion of your tutorial-progress data and account records. The platform supports anonymisation of user records on request; audit-log entries that reference your account will be retained as required by law but will be detached from your identity where possible.
International transfers
SAP SE is a global company, and your data may be processed in jurisdictions other than your own. SAP applies the safeguards described in the SAP Trust Center, including Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable.
Cookies and browser storage
See the Cookie Policy for a full inventory of cookies and browser-storage keys used by the site.
Changes to this policy
We will update this page when our practices change. The “last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent change.
