What it is

By using DraftKings services, users authorize DraftKings to disclose their full name, date of birth, address, phone number, identification information, and transaction details to named fraud and identity verification vendors including LexisNexis, Onfido, Socure, and TransUnion, and authorize those vendors to access the user's credit file at a credit bureau for identity verification purposes.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that account creation and service use constitutes authorization for credit file access by TransUnion and other named vendors. Credit file access is regulated under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), which prescribes permissible purposes for accessing consumer credit reports. The notice states this access will not affect the user's credit score, but the adequacy of a general privacy notice consent mechanism as a permissible purpose authorization under FCRA requires legal evaluation.

Interpretive note: The adequacy of general privacy notice acceptance as a permissible purpose authorization for credit file access under FCRA depends on regulatory interpretation and the specific nature of the inquiry, which is not fully resolved by the document language alone.
