A social media plug-in embedded on a website allows you to share content on a third party social media provider’s website. You can recognize social plug-ins as buttons displayed on website pages that feature the logo of the social media provider; e.g., for the Facebook page plug-in, you can recognize the button by a white "f" on a black background.
SAP LeanIX does not have influence or control over the processing of personal data on the social media provider’s website, and the social plug-in remains active until you deactivate it or delete your cookies. Please refer to the privacy and cookie statement or policy of the respective social media provider for more information about the social media provider’s data protection and privacy policies.
SAP LeanIX uses social plug-ins on its websites on the basis of its legitimate interest to make SAP LeanIX visible on social media pursuant to Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR or the applicable national law.
How do social plug-ins on SAP LeanIX websites work?
If you see one of the social plug-ins and you want to use one of these social media plug-ins, click on the respective social plug-in to establish a direct connection to the server of the respective social media provider and you will be redirected to that social media provider's website.
If you have a user account on the social media provider and are logged in at the time you activate the social plug-in, the social media provider can associate your visit to SAP LeanIX’s websites with your user account. In this situation, data transmissions can also take place that are initiated and controlled by the respective social media provider. Your connection to a social media provider, the data transfers taking place between the network and your system, and your interactions on that platform are governed solely by the privacy and cookie statement or policy of that social media provider. Personal data may also reach providers in countries outside the European Economic Area that may not guarantee an "adequate level of protection" for the processing of personal data in accordance with EU standards. If you do not want to share any data with the social media provider in connection with an SAP LeanIX website, do not click on the social media plug-in on SAP LeanIX’s website.
A Media plug-in embedded on a website allows you to watch remote content from a third party media provider’s website. You can recognize media plug-ins as views displayed on website pages; e.g., for YouTube, you can recognize the media plugin by a video showing the play button.
If you want to use one of content of these media plug-ins, click on the play-symbol within the media plug-in to establish a direct connection to the server of the respective media provider. The stream of the media will be redirected from the media provider to your browser.
If you have a user account on the media provider and are logged in at the time you activate the media plug-in, the media provider can associate your visit to SAP LeanIX’s websites with your user account. In this situation, data transmissions can also take place that are initiated and controlled by the respective media provider. Your connection to a media provider, the data transfers taking place between the network and your system, and your interactions on that platform are governed solely by the privacy and cookie statement or policy of that media provider. Personal Data may also reach providers in countries outside the European Economic Area that may not guarantee an "adequate level of protection" for the processing of Personal Data in accordance with EU standards. If you do not want to share any data with the media provider in connection with SAP’s website, do not click on the media plug-in on SAP LeanIX’s website.

This website contains a plugin from YouTube, belonging to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, US). We use the YouTube No-Cookies function, i.e. we have activated extended data protection, videos are not accessed via youtube.com, but via youtube-nocookie.com, which, according to the provider, only starts storing user information when the video is played. As soon as you start playing an embedded video by clicking on it, the IP address, in particular, which of our web site you have visited is communicated. However, this information cannot be assigned to you if you are not permanently logged in to YouTube or another Google service when you call up the page. SAP LeanIX does not have influence or control over the processing of personal data on the media provider’s website, and the media plug-in remains active until you deactivate it or delete your cookies.
When SAP LeanIX sends you newsletters or other messages, SAP LeanIX uses these technologies so that SAP LeanIX can track email open and click rates. In order to determine a user's ability to receive HTML e-mail in addition to whether or not an e-mail has been opened, SAP LeanIX includes a "web beacon" in the majority of HTML e-mail messages SAP LeanIX sends. A web beacon (a small .gif image) is activated when an HTML e-mail is opened via a request for the image on Our servers. This capability helps SAP LeanIX send e-mail in a format that users can read and enables SAP LeanIX to track the aggregate number of e-mails opened. The web beacon does not collect any personal data.
