Monitor Databricks compliance pages
Data and AI platform — Lakehouse architecture, Unity Catalog governance, Delta Lake storage, MLflow, and Mosaic AI (post-MosaicML acquisition).
Databricks publishes several compliance and legal pages that change over time. Under GDPR Article 28, data controllers using Databricks as a processor must continuously verify that "sufficient guarantees" remain in place — which means tracking changes to these pages as they happen. Below are the 4 most relevant pages, what typically changes on each, and ready-to-paste monitoring prompts.
