A corporate website privacy policy that grants a full data-subject rights suite, names its international-transfer safeguards, and commits to no sale of personal information. It is silent on model training, breach notification timeframes, and a children age gate because it covers marketing and website data, not the dbt platform, which the policy expressly carves out. It reserves no harmful rights, so no dealbreaker applies and the grade sits in the B band.

What dbt Labs's privacy policy says about your data

Full rights suite

The policy grants access, deletion, portability, rectification, and objection across GDPR, CCPA, and Virginia frameworks, citing specific articles such as Art. 15 access, Art. 17 erasure, and Art. 20 portability.

Named transfer safeguards

International transfers rely on the European Commission standard contractual clauses, and dbt Labs holds an active EU-U.S., UK, and Swiss Data Privacy Framework certification with the U.S. Department of Commerce.

No sale of personal information

The CCPA section states that dbt Labs does not sell or share personal information, while disclosing limited sharing with service providers acting on its behalf.

Silent on breach and children

The data security section disclaims perfect security and names no breach notification timeframe, and the policy contains no children age gate. Both are scored as silent rather than adverse.

What the policy is silent or vague on

  • Not stated: keeping user inputs out of model training
  • Not stated: a way to opt out of training
  • Not stated: whether training use differs by plan
  • Not stated: your ownership of generated outputs
