FanDuel says it does not knowingly sell personal data of users under 16 years old, though the repeated and slightly inconsistent wording of this statement is notable.

This provision establishes FanDuel's data handling obligation under applicable privacy regulations governing minors. It defines the threshold at which affirmative parental or user authorization becomes a procedural requirement before personal information sale transactions may occur.
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.

"Please note that we do not knowingly sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age without legally-required affirmative authorization. Please note that we do not knowingly sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.— Excerpt from FanDuel's FanDuel Privacy Policy
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: The prohibition on selling data of minors under 16 is required by CCPA §1798.120(d), which mandates opt-in consent for sale of personal information of consumers 13-15 years old, and parental consent for those under 13 under COPPA (15 U.S.C. §6502). The FTC enforces COPPA with civil penalties up to $51,744 per violation (adjusted for inflation). California AG enforces CCPA minor protections. The document's inconsistency between the two statements — one qualifying with 'without legally-required affirmative authorization' and one not — may create compliance ambiguity.
