Questions people ask about dbt Cloud

Where is dbt Cloud's DPA?

dbt Cloud publishes its customer data processing agreement at https://www.getdbt.com/assets/docs/cloud/dataprocessingaddendum.pdf. We last opened that link on 24 September 2026.

Is dbt Cloud's DPA the same thing as a data processing addendum?

Yes. A data processing agreement and a data processing addendum are two names for the document Article 28 of the GDPR requires between a controller and a processor; vendors use both, and some call it processor terms. What it has to contain does not change with the name. dbt Cloud's is at https://www.getdbt.com/assets/docs/cloud/dataprocessingaddendum.pdf.

Where is dbt Cloud's sub-processor list?

At https://trust.getdbt.com/subprocessors. dbt Cloud names the list in its trust centre and hands it over on request rather than publishing it, so the names are not visible until you ask. We last opened that address on 24 September 2026.

Which legal entity does dbt Cloud contract through?

dbt Labs, Inc., registered in United States. That is the name to put in a record of processing or a sub-processor list, not the brand.

Where is dbt Cloud's trust center?

dbt Cloud publishes it at https://trust.getdbt.com/. A trust center, trust page or security page is the same thing under different names: the vendor's own account of how it protects data, and the place it keeps its certifications. It is dbt Cloud's page, so we link to it rather than repeat what it says.
