ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Users of Datadog Products should be aware that personal information embedded in technical data streams such as logs, traces, and metrics is actively collected by Datadog.

Interpretive note: The excerpt uses 'may include' for the specific data types listed, indicating the list is illustrative rather than exhaustive. This does not affect the primary claim but means other personal information types may also be collected.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Using Datadog Products permits Datadog to collect personal information contained in logs, traces, and metrics, including name, email address, and IP address.
