Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

California residents have the strongest privacy rights under U.S. law with respect to Datadog's data collection, including the right to opt out of their data being shared with advertising partners.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

California residents can legally require Datadog to delete their personal data, correct inaccuracies, and stop sharing their data with advertising and analytics partners — rights that users in other U.S. states may not have.
