This disclosure extends far beyond typical law enforcement cooperation, enabling employers and sports institutions to receive personal data about users without court order or the user's knowledge, creating significant employment and reputational risks for professional athletes, coaches, and industry employees.
View original clause language
Such potential disclosures include disclosing Personal Information and Device Identifiers to gaming regulators, leagues, associations, governing bodies, sports teams, colleges or oversight agencies or boards (or their designated vendors) in relation to the enforcement of our Terms and Conditions and their rules governing authorized betting, including in connection with identifying or overseeing their athletes, employees, personnel, or members. We may also use IP address or other device identifiers to identify individuals, either acting alone or in cooperation with third parties such as copyright owners, internet service providers, wireless service providers and/or law enforcement agencies. Such identifying information may be disclosed pursuant to this Section.
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Voluntary disclosure of personal data to employers implicates FTC Act Section 5 unfairness principles, state employee privacy statutes (e.g., California Labor Code §980 et seq.), and GDPR Article 6 lawfulness of processing where EU users are involved. Disclosures to colleges regarding student-athletes may trigger FERPA (20 U.S.C. §1232g) considerations where the disclosed data intersects with student records. The FTC and state attorneys general are primary enforcement authorities.
