Government-issued identity documents and tax information are among the most sensitive categories of personal data, and making their submission mandatory means you cannot use those features of the service without providing them, with all associated sharing and retention risks described elsewhere in the policy.
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.
