Datadog shares your personal data with a range of external companies including advertising, marketing, analytics, payment processing, and IT vendors who work on its behalf.
This analysis describes what Datadog's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The breadth of third-party sharing — specifically advertising and marketing services — means your professional and behavioral data may flow to multiple external vendors beyond Datadog itself.
Your personal data including contact details and usage behavior may be disclosed to advertising and marketing vendors, which creates risk of downstream data use for targeted advertising that goes beyond your original expectations when signing up for a monitoring platform.

"We may share your personal information with third party vendors and service providers that perform services for us or on our behalf, which may include providing mailing services, web hosting, data analytics, advertising and marketing services, payment processing, order fulfillment, infrastructure provisioning, IT services, customer service, email delivery services, auditing services and other similar services.— Excerpt from Datadog's Datadog Privacy Policy
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Third-party sharing implicates GDPR Art. 28 (processor agreements must be in place with all vendors); GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) (legitimate interests for service delivery sharing); CCPA §1798.140 definitions of 'service provider' vs. 'third party' — if advertising vendors receive data and use it for their own purposes, this constitutes a 'sale' or 'sharing' under CCPA requiring opt-out rights. FTC Act Section 5 applies to undisclosed or deceptive third-party sharing. Enforcement: EU DPAs, CPPA, FTC.
