Datadog's Privacy Policy navigation menu was updated on May 9, 2026 to reorganize product offerings and add references to new deployment options. The changes appear to be structural and navigational rather than substantive modifications to privacy practices or data handling terms. Two specific product references were added ('BYOC Log Management') and one reference was removed ('CloudPrem'), while the core privacy policy text and substantive provisions remain unchanged.
