What it is

If FanDuel is sold, merges with another company, or goes bankrupt, your personal information may be transferred to the new owners or creditors without your consent.

This analysis describes what FanDuel's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The clause establishes the operational framework under which user personal information may transfer to a successor entity during corporate restructuring events. This provision defines the scope of permissible data transfers when FanDuel's control or ownership structure changes, without requiring separate user consent at the time of such transfer.

Recent Activity

Medium Apr 29, 2026

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.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Transfer of personal data in M&A transactions implicates FTC Act Section 5 (FTC has challenged post-acquisition privacy practice changes, e.g., FTC v. Facebook/WhatsApp), CCPA/CPRA §1798.100 (new entity must honor existing privacy commitments or obtain new consent), and GDPR Articles 13-14 (notice obligations upon data controller change). Bankruptcy-related transfers implicate 11 U.S.C. §363 and FTC's established review of consumer data as an asset in bankruptcy proceedings (In re RadioShack, 2015). The FTC is the primary federal enforcement authority.
