EU, UK, and Swiss residents have legal rights to access, correct, delete, and port their data, and Datadog uses Standard Contractual Clauses to legally transfer that data to the United States.

The clause creates a dual framework: it recognizes statutory data protection rights in specified jurisdictions while simultaneously authorizing cross-border data transfers under an EU-approved contractual standard, establishing the operational conditions under which personal data flows outside protected regions.
If you are in the EU, UK, or Switzerland, your personal data is transferred to Datadog's servers in the United States, governed by Standard Contractual Clauses — you have the right to object to this processing and to withdraw consent where it is the legal basis.

"If you are a resident of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you may have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These include the right to access, rectify, port and erase your personal data, as well as the right to restrict and object to certain processing of your personal data. If we are processing your personal data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. We transfer personal data outside the EEA, UK, and Switzerland to countries that may not provide the same level of data protection. In such cases, we use Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.— Excerpt from Datadog's Datadog Privacy Policy
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision engages GDPR Arts. 15–22 (data subject rights: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection); GDPR Art. 46(2)(c) (SCCs as transfer mechanism); GDPR Art. 6 (lawful basis); UK GDPR (equivalent provisions post-Brexit); and Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP, effective September 2023). The CJEU's Schrems II ruling (C-311/18, 2020) invalidated Privacy Shield and placed heightened obligations on SCC-based transfers, requiring Transfer Impact Assessments (TIAs). EU DPAs and the UK ICO are enforcement authorities.
