This document establishes Datadog's privacy practices for individuals whose personal information is collected through the company's website, trial sign-ups, and cloud monitoring services. Datadog collects names, email addresses, company names, job titles, device identifiers, IP addresses, site browsing activity, and personal data contained within monitoring data transmitted to the platform by customers; the policy authorizes disclosure of this information to advertising partners, analytics providers, and third-party service providers. The policy establishes procedures for California residents to submit requests to privacy@datadoghq.com for access, deletion, or opt-out of personal information sales.
This document is Datadog's Privacy Policy, governing how the company collects, uses, stores, and shares personal data from visitors to its website, trial users, customers, and individuals whose data appears in customer-submitted monitoring data; the policy states it applies to both Datadog's own data practices and, in a more limited processor role, to data that enterprise customers upload to the platform. The terms authorize collection of identifiers (name, email, company name, job title), device and browser information, IP addresses, usage and clickstream data, and any personal data that customers choose to include in monitoring payloads transmitted to Datadog's services. A notable operational distinction is the policy's explicit treatment of Datadog as both a data controller (for prospective customers, website visitors, and its own marketing activities) and a data processor (for customer-submitted service data), with the policy directing that enterprise customers' data processing obligations are governed by the applicable Master Service Agreement and Data Processing Addendum rather than this policy. The policy states compliance with GDPR and references EU Standard Contractual Clauses as a transfer mechanism, and separately identifies California Consumer Privacy Act rights, including the right to know, delete, and opt out of sale; it also references APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules participation. Practical application of GDPR rights and CCPA obligations depends on user residency and whether Datadog is acting as controller or processor in a given context, and applicable law may constrain certain provisions regarding third-party sharing and data retention.
