FanDuel requires you to provide government-issued ID documents like your passport or driver's license as a mandatory condition of using certain parts of the service.

The provision establishes FanDuel's operational requirements for identity verification to comply with applicable laws and regulations. This collection mechanism is a prerequisite for accessing defined service features rather than an optional data practice.
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.

"In addition to the above, we may need to verify your identity in order for you to use some aspects of the Services. For purposes of verification, we may also collect the following personal information from you (for compliance reasons, provision of this information, when requested, is a mandatory condition of using our Services): passport information; driving license information; other identification documents; permanent and temporary address; tax-related information; and other information as may be required to verify you in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.— Excerpt from FanDuel's FanDuel Privacy Policy
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Collection of government-issued identification documents implicates state identity theft protection statutes, including California's Identity Information Protection Act, and New York SHIELD Act (N.Y. General Business Law §899-aa). Driver's license data collection is regulated in many states. Tax-related information collection may implicate IRS regulations and state tax authority requirements. The FTC Act Section 5 governs security practices around sensitive identity data. Gaming commission regulations in all U.S. states where FanDuel operates require KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures, which is the primary legal basis for this collection.
