What it is

FanDuel collects your exact GPS location from your phone and shares it with outside companies for advertising, analytics, and legal compliance purposes.

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 provision establishes the operational scope and permissible uses of geolocation data collection across FanDuel's service delivery functions, including verification mechanisms, vendor relationships, and regulatory obligations. This defines the data categories and recipients that operate within the stated privacy framework.

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.

"
Our Services use precise location-based services (e.g., location collected through GPS technology) in order to locate you so we may verify your location, process payments, perform analytics, deliver you relevant content and ads based on your location, share your location with our vendors as part of the location-based services we offer, and for purposes of legal and regulatory compliance. We also collect non-precise geolocation data (i.e., the city and state in which your device is located based on its IP address). Both precise and non-precise geolocation may be disclosed to third party entities pursuant to Section 4.10 below.
