"If you are a California resident, you have certain rights with respect to your personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). These rights include the right to know about the personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell; the right to request deletion of your personal information; the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information; and the right to non-discrimination for exercising your CCPA rights. To exercise these rights, you may contact us at privacy@datadoghq.com.— Excerpt from Datadog's Datadog Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision directly engages the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), enforced by the California Privacy Protection Agency and the California Attorney General. The policy's disclosure of CCPA rights is required by statute; however, the CPRA expanded rights to include correction of personal information and limitation of sensitive personal information use, and the policy should be reviewed to confirm it reflects the full scope of current CPRA obligations. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy discloses the right to opt out of sale of personal information, which requires an operative Do Not Sell or Share mechanism. If advertising partner data sharing constitutes a sale or sharing under CCPA, the mechanism must be accessible and functional. Non-compliance with CCPA opt-out obligations may result in enforcement action by the California Privacy Protection Agency. JURISDICTION FLAGS: This provision applies specifically to California residents. Similar rights are available in Virginia (VCDPA), Colorado (CPA), Connecticut (CTDPA), Texas (TDPSA), and other states with enacted comprehensive privacy laws; however, the policy as written specifically references CCPA. Organizations with users in multiple US states should assess whether Datadog's disclosed rights framework extends to those additional state frameworks. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers who are themselves CCPA-covered businesses should assess whether their employees or end users whose data is processed by Datadog are entitled to exercise CCPA rights directly against Datadog or only through the enterprise customer as controller. The policy's email-based request mechanism should be evaluated for response timeframes and verification procedures. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should verify that Datadog's response procedures for CCPA requests meet the statutory 45-day response requirement (with a permitted 45-day extension) and that the verification process does not create unreasonable barriers. The scope of rights disclosed should be reconciled with CPRA amendments, including the right to correct and the right to limit sensitive personal information processing.
