What it is

DraftKings authorizes vendors Onfido and Socure to collect and process facial scan data from users' government ID photos and selfie photos or videos for identity verification, with retention scheduled for up to three years following a user's last interaction with the verification provider. Users may revoke consent by emailing privacy@draftkings.com, though doing so may limit their ability to complete verification required to access services.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision authorizes collection and retention of biometric identifiers by named third-party processors under a consent framework, with a stated retention period of up to three years post-last interaction. This schedule and the consent mechanism require evaluation under state biometric privacy statutes including Illinois BIPA, Texas CUBI, and Washington MHMDA, which impose specific written consent, publicly available retention schedule, and destruction obligation requirements that may differ from the terms stated in this notice.

Interpretive note: Compliance with applicable state biometric statutes depends on whether the consent mechanism and retention schedule stated in the notice satisfy jurisdiction-specific written consent and destruction requirements, which vary by state and are not fully resolved by the document language alone.

"
With your consent, we may use facial image scan services provided by our vendors (including, for example, Onfido and Socure) to help verify your identity. These biometric identity verification providers and their contractors compare facial scan data extracted from your photo in your ID (e.g., driver's license) to the facial scan data extracted from the selfie photo or video you upload, and then report back to us whether or not there is a match. These scans and associated results may constitute biometric information or biometric identifiers under certain laws. Any biometric identifier/information or representation of it will be processed based on your consent and collected, stored, and managed by Onfido, Socure, or the applicable biometric identity verification provider. Biometric data collected and processed for our verification purposes is scheduled to be retained until the earlier of when verification is complete or for up to three (3) years following your last interaction with the biometric identity verification provider, unless otherwise set forth at the time you provide consent or unless otherwise required by law or legal process.
