Summary

This is Datadog's website terms of use, covering how you may use datadoghq.com and related web properties, not the paid monitoring platform itself. When you submit content to the website, such as forum posts or feedback, Datadog's terms authorize a broad license to use, modify, reproduce, and sublicense that content without payment to you. If you use the paid Datadog platform, a separate Master Subscription Agreement governs that relationship, and you should review that document for data processing and service-level obligations.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document governs use of Datadog's website and related online properties, establishing terms under which visitors and registered users may access and interact with Datadog's web presence, distinct from the separate subscription agreement governing Datadog's paid SaaS products. The agreement states that users grant Datadog a royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and display any content submitted to the site, and the terms reserve to Datadog the right to modify or discontinue the website or these terms at any time with or without notice. The intellectual property license granted over user-submitted content is broad in scope, covering sublicensing and modification rights, though the practical reach of this grant depends on what content users actually submit to the public website versus the separately governed product environment. The terms disclaim all warranties and limit Datadog's liability to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the governing law clause designates New York law with New York courts as the forum, which may affect enforceability for EU and other international users under their applicable consumer or data protection frameworks. For organizations in regulated sectors, the distinction between these website terms and the separately referenced Master Subscription Agreement is material, as data processing obligations under GDPR, CCPA, and sector-specific frameworks such as HIPAA would be governed by that separate agreement rather than this document.

What changed Datadog's website product navigation menu was updated on May 9, 2026 to add references to 'BYOC Log Management' (Bring Your Own Cloud) in two locations within the product listing section. The previous version listed 'CloudPrem' as a separate product offering in the infrastructure section. The updated version replaces 'CloudPrem' with 'BYOC Log Management' in the main product navigation and adds the same term in a secondary navigation section. This appears to be a product portfolio reorganization or renaming within Datadog's website navigation structure.
Why this matters This change is a website navigation update that does not materially alter Datadog's terms of service, user obligations, or data handling practices. The replacement of 'CloudPrem' with 'BYOC Log Management' in the product menu reflects a product portfolio reorganization visible on Datadog's website. No new terms, fees, rights, or obligations are established by this change. Users accessing the website will see updated product category labels, but no substantive contractual changes apply.
