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.
