Datadog Privacy Policy

This document explains what personal information Datadog collects about you, how it uses that information—including for advertising and product improvement—and under what circumstances it may share it with third parties or government authorities. Datadog keeps your data only as long as needed, then deletes or archives it, and it must follow legally recognized safeguards before transferring your data to another country. You have the right to request deletion of your personal information and to opt out of targeted advertising, automated profiling, and the sale of your data.

The Datadog Privacy Policy establishes the legal bases on which Datadog processes personal information—contract necessity, legal obligation, and legitimate interests—and identifies the categories of data collected, including names, email addresses, and IP addresses embedded in technical data streams such as logs, traces, and metrics. The policy constrains data retention to the period necessary to fulfill collection purposes and restricts international transfers to jurisdictions with adequate protections or to recipients covered by European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses. Datadog may share personal information with third-party service providers across hosting, authentication, cybersecurity, anti-fraud, and advertising functions, and may disclose personal data to public authorities in response to lawful requests or where Datadog believes disclosure is permitted by applicable law or legal process. The policy recognizes user rights to deletion, opt-out of behavioral advertising and automated profiling, and opt-out of data sales, and commits to providing users an opportunity to opt out before personal information is used for materially different purposes.

As an individual user, your personal information—including data embedded in technical outputs like logs and traces—is collected, used for product improvement and personalized advertising, and may be shared with multiple categories of third-party vendors. Datadog may also disclose your information to government or law enforcement agencies under lawful compulsion or where it believes disclosure is permitted by law, without your consent. If Datadog intends to use your personal information for purposes materially different from those already disclosed, you will be given the opportunity to opt out before that use begins; you also have the right to request deletion of your personal information directly from Datadog.
