"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.
