What it is

The subprocessor list identifies the country or region of operation for each listed entity, disclosing that some subprocessors are located in the United States and potentially other third countries outside the EEA or UK, which are subject to cross-border transfer restrictions under GDPR and UK GDPR.

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

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision creates a compliance dependency for EU and UK data controller customers, who must verify the applicable transfer mechanism for each third-country subprocessor as part of their transfer impact assessment obligations under GDPR Chapter V and post-Schrems II guidance.

Interpretive note: The specific countries of operation for each subprocessor and the transfer mechanisms in use could not be directly confirmed from the extracted HTML; assessment is based on standard subprocessor list structure and Datadog's known operational geography.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

This provision establishes that customer data processed by Datadog may be transferred to subprocessors in the United States and other jurisdictions, which business customers must evaluate against applicable cross-border transfer requirements including Standard Contractual Clauses, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, or equivalent UK mechanisms.
