I've never tried Datadog, and I've anti-promoted them at my company because of this.
They somehow scraped my work email from somewhere (only company that managed this so far) and started contacting me once a month with a typical sales pitch.
First one I ignored. Second one I politely emailed back to not contact me. Third one I went through their website and found a data-privacy reporting link, and seemed to get a person that promised that I would be unsubscribed. Fourth one I reported to their DPO that I was invoking my EU rights and requesting that they delete my email address and any other data about me, they apologised and I didnt get an email the next month!...
...The fifth one I reported to my countries GDPR authorities for unauthorised marketing without consent along with copies of all my attempts to get them to stop. That seems to have done it, but I didn't follow-up if that was the nail in the coffin or if they've just given up
