ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Recognition of opt-out rights across behavioral advertising, profiling, and data sales gives users control over three distinct high-impact data uses.

Interpretive note: The excerpt is a bare statement of rights with no conditions, procedures, or exceptions specified. The clause name references US users, suggesting this right may be jurisdiction-limited, but that limitation does not appear in the quoted excerpt itself. Confidence is medium because the excerpt alone does not clarify scope, any applicable exceptions, or how to exercise the right.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

You may opt out of Datadog's use of your personal information for behavioral or targeted advertising, automated profiling, and data sales.
