What it is

Your contract is with Neon LLC, but Neon is now part of the Databricks corporate family, which may mean Databricks-level terms, data handling practices, or sub-processors also apply to your use of the platform.

This analysis describes what Neon'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 structure means your data and contractual obligations may involve more than one corporate entity, which has practical implications for data protection agreements, liability allocation, and vendor due diligence.

Interpretive note: The full text of the Product Specific Schedule was not available in the provided document; the affiliate structure is confirmed by the meta description but the operational implications for data handling depend on provisions in the full agreement and any applicable master agreement with Databricks.
