Summary

This document establishes FanDuel's collection, use, and disclosure practices for personal information gathered through its fantasy sports and skill games platforms. The policy authorizes collection of precise GPS location data, government-issued identification documents, payment information, and behavioral data, with provisions permitting disclosure to advertising partners, sports leagues, gaming regulators, and other third parties in transactions that may constitute a 'sale' of personal information under applicable state privacy laws. Users may submit opt-out requests at privacy.fanduel.com/dont_sell to limit data sharing for advertising purposes, with the requirement that such requests be submitted separately for each browser and device used to access FanDuel's services.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This Privacy Policy governs FanDuel Inc. and FanDuel SG LLC's collection, use, and disclosure of personal information across the company's daily fantasy sports platform, skill games site, mobile apps, and related services, asserting consent as a legal basis upon continued use of the Services. The policy states that FanDuel collects an extensive range of personal data including government-issued identity documents, GPS-level precise geolocation, financial payment details, device identifiers, audio recordings of customer support calls, and inferred behavioral data, and authorizes disclosure of this information to subsidiaries, advertising partners, analytics vendors, gaming regulators, sports leagues, law enforcement, and third parties in connection with corporate transactions. Notably, the policy asserts broad authority to disclose precise geolocation and other sensitive personal information to third parties including sports leagues, governing bodies, and employers of individuals affiliated with competing platforms under Section 4.10, a provision that extends beyond typical law enforcement or fraud-prevention carve-outs observed in standard consumer privacy policies. The policy engages the California Consumer Privacy Act, with a dedicated Section 9 addressing CCPA rights including opt-out of data sales and targeted advertising sharing, and references compliance with Iowa state regulations regarding secure data disposal; applicability of additional state privacy frameworks depends on the user's jurisdiction and FanDuel's classification under those laws. Material compliance considerations include the policy's characterization of third-party advertising disclosures as potentially constituting 'sales' under applicable law, the breadth of sensitive data categories collected including criminal history and employment status for fraud management purposes, and the opt-out mechanism's requirement that users renew choices after clearing cookies or changing devices.

What changed FanDuel updated its Privacy Policy on April 29, 2026 to reflect a one-year refresh (dated April 28, 2026 instead of April 28, 2025). The policy scope was also revised: it now explicitly excludes the 'Fantasy Picks' website and its mobile app from the privacy policy's coverage, whereas previously the Picks Site was included alongside the DFS Site and Skill Games Site. This means the privacy protections and data practices described in this policy may not apply to your Fantasy Picks account or activity on that platform.
Why this matters The updated privacy policy no longer explicitly covers the FanDuel Fantasy Picks platform (www.fanduel.com/picks) and its mobile app. Previously, the policy stated it applied to the DFS Site, Skill Games Site, and Picks Site together. Now only the DFS Site and Skill Games Site are listed in the policy scope. This creates ambiguity about what privacy rules, data collection practices, retention periods, and user rights apply to your Fantasy Picks account. You should review FanDuel's website to determine whether a separate privacy policy governs Fantasy Picks data, or contact FanDuel directly to clarify what privacy terms apply to that service.

What changed FanDuel's privacy policy was updated on April 18, 2026 to reflect two document corrections. The policy's last-update timestamp was changed from April 28, 2026 to April 28, 2025, and the policy scope was expanded to explicitly include FanDuel's Fantasy Picks website (www.fanduel.com/picks) and its related mobile app as covered services subject to the privacy policy. Previously, these services were not explicitly listed in the policy's scope definition.
Why this matters The updated privacy policy now explicitly states that the policy applies to FanDuel's Fantasy Picks website and its related mobile app, in addition to the previously listed DFS Site, Skill Games Site, and other FanDuel services. This clarifies the scope of privacy protections and data collection practices that apply when users interact with the Picks platform. The policy's statement of what services are covered is now more complete, though the underlying privacy practices themselves have not been substantively altered by this change.
