PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT, ITS SOURCES, AND THE PURPOSES FOR
COLLECTION
In this section we describe the types of personal information that we
collect, the sources from which we collect it, and the specific reasons why
we collect it. As a general rule, we collect your personal information to
perform our obligations to iGO under our Operating Agreement with iGO. We
will not collect personal information from you for purposes that are not
permitted under the Operating Agreement or applicable law.
a. Information You Provide to Us
-
You may choose voluntarily to provide certain personal information
to us. Personal information is any information about an
identifiable individual, such as your real name, username,
address, email address, phone number, gender, date of birth, age,
payment card information, banking and other financial information,
billing information, identity verification/authentication information
such as your driver's license number, an image of your ID card,
social insurance number, and profile photograph or other
photograph. For example, when you create an account to log in to
our network ("Account"), you may decide to share your full
legal name, alias, date of birth, location, email address,
personal and business phone number, username and password, street
address, country of residence, occupation, name and address of your
employer, along with an attestation as to whether you are a politically
exposed person ("PEP"), head of an international organization ("HIO"),
or a family member or close associate of a PEP or HIO and, if so,
the sources of your funds and wealth and the nature of your
connection to the PEP or HIO. We need this information to set up
your Account, verify your identity, detect fraud, comply with our
legal obligations, and provide you with our Services.
-
When you use our Website, Applications, or Services, or deposit or
withdraw funds from your Account, we may collect all information
necessary to complete the transaction and provide you with the
Services and to comply with our legal obligations, including your
name, address, email address, phone number, payment card
information and other billing information, social insurance number,
and records of the products and Services you purchased, obtained, or
considered.
-
If you provide us feedback or contact us via email, we will
collect your name and email address, as well as any other content
provided in the email, in order to send you a reply, provide
customer and technical support, improve and optimize our Website,
Applications, and Services, satisfy our legal obligations, enforce
our contracts, and address any existing or anticipated disputes.
-
We will collect the profile photo you upload and username you
choose for your public profile page including in connection with
our social networking features ("Profile") to give you a
personalized experience of our Website, Applications and Services.
When you participate in any contest, game or other gaming-related
product or promotion through the Website, Application(s), or
Services (each, a "Game" or, collectively, "Games"),
other participants (each, a "Player") will be able to see
the information you selected for your Profile. Participation in
Games is completely voluntary and you may choose whether to
participate and, therefore, disclose the personal information
required by the Games.
-
If you tell us where you are (e.g., by allowing your device to
send us your location or by otherwise permitting us to geolocate
you), we may store and use that information to verify your
eligibility to enter certain Games, to comply with relevant laws,
and for fraud prevention purposes.
-
When you participate in one of our surveys, we may collect
additional information about your Profile, activity, usage, and
preferences related to the Website, Applications and Services, so
that we can evaluate your interest in and the quality of our
products, Services, and customer and technical support.
Participation in surveys is completely voluntary and you may
choose whether to participate and, therefore, disclose the personal
information required by the survey.
-
If you participate in a sweepstakes, Game, or giveaway through our
Website, Applications or Services, we may collect your email
address and phone number, to notify you if you win or not. We may
also ask for users' first and last names and addresses, in order
to verify their identities. In some situations we may need to
collect other information about user preferences as part of the entry
process, such as a prize selection, or in connection with the award of
prizes over a certain dollar amount. Such sweepstakes and Games are
voluntary and you may choose whether to participate and, therefore,
disclose the personal information required by the sweepstakes, Game or
giveaway. We recommend that you read the rules for each sweepstakes and
Game before you enter it.
-
In the event you use our social networking features, we may
collect and other DraftKings users may be able to see your Profile
information, including your username, real name, photo, location,
the content you post on your social feed and the feeds of other
DraftKings users, and any other information you choose to upload
or share. We may also collect, and other DraftKings users may be
able to see, information about the Games you participate in,
including the bets you have made and your betting unit data as
shown in your betting feed, along with your aggregated betting
data on our trending bets page. In the event you elect to sync, upload,
or import data about your contacts from your device's address book
using our contact importer tool, you must first ensure that you
have the consent from your contacts to send their information to
us and that they agree we may collect and use that information to
provide you and your contacts with our Services, help you find and
connect with your contacts through our social networking features,
help your contacts connect with you through our social networking
features, and for other purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy.
Our contact importer tool may not be available to users in certain
countries. In general, the information you choose to provide when
using our social networking features is public and you should
exercise caution and good judgment before you post, upload, sync,
import or otherwise share personal information with us and others,
in order to avoid disclosing sensitive, harmful, or unlawful
information. You are solely responsible for the content you post
and other information you provide, whether by posting, syncing,
importing, uploading or otherwise, when you choose to use our
social networking features. You may control who is able to view
and access the information you share by using our social privacy
settings. The privacy settings allow you to determine who is able
to see your Profile information and Game participation activity
through our social networking features; who can add you as a
friend on DraftKings; who can find you in a username search; who
is able to see your real name on search and friends lists; whether you
will receive notifications of replies and reactions to your posts;
whether you will receive notifications that someone has posted
content to your feed or mentioned you in a post; who can see your
posts; who is able to see your betting unit data alongside the
bets shown in your betting feed; who is able to share their bets
with you and invite you to place a bet; and who will be able to
see your aggregated betting data on our trending bets page.
However, please note that, neither you nor we can control what
others do with your personal information once you share it
publicly.
b. Information Collected via Technology
-
Information Collected by our Services. In order to
improve, personalize, and optimize our Website, Applications and
Services and meet our legal obligations, we may automatically
track certain information about your visits to and usage of our
Website, Applications, and Services, including your browser type,
operating system, Internet Protocol (IP) address (a number that is
automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet,
which may vary from session to session), device identifier, domain
name, clickstream data, referring/exist pages, geolocation, and a
date/time stamp for your visit. We also use this information to
analyze trends, administer the Website, Applications and Services,
gather demographic information about our user base, deliver
advertising, perform research, provide technical and customer
support, inform our product development efforts, protect our legal
rights, address disputes, and prevent our Services from being used
to commit harmful or unlawful activities, including fraud. Some of this
information may also be collected so that when you use the Website,
Applications, or Services again, we will be able to recognize you and
optimize your experience accordingly.
-
Device Information. We may collect information about
the devices you use to access our Website, Application and
Services, including the hardware models, operating systems and
versions, software, file names and versions, preferred languages,
unique device identifiers, advertising identifiers, serial numbers,
device motion information, and mobile network information. If you
have downloaded our mobile Application(s), we may also collect
certain information from your mobile device, including information
about how you use the Application(s). This information is
generally used to help us deliver relevant information to you. In
the event our Application(s) crash on your mobile device, we will
also receive information about your mobile device model software
version and device carrier, which allows us to identify and fix
bugs, provide other technical support, and improve and optimize the
performance of our Application(s).
-
Cookies. Like many online services, we use "cookies" to
collect technical information. Cookies are small pieces of
information that a website sends to your computer's hard drive
while you are viewing the website. We may use both session cookies
(which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent
cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to
provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our
Website, Applications, and Services. We may use cookies to collect
information about your IP address, browser type, operating system,
device type and identifiers, platform type, as well as your usage
of and activity on our Website and Application(s) and the
performance of our Services. These types of information are
collected to make the Website, Application(s) and Services more useful
to you and to tailor your online experience to meet your special
interests and expectations. You can use the options in your web
browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or you may change
your cookie preferences in your Internet browser or with third
parties. You can control and/or delete cookies used by our
Services at any time. For instructions on how to delete cookies
using your particular internet browser, visit
https://www.aboutcookies.org/.
You can delete all existing cookies on your computer and adjust
settings for most browsers to prevent cookies from being received.
-
Pixel Tags. In addition, we use "pixel tags" (also referred
to as clear gifs, web beacons, or web bugs). Pixel tags are tiny
graphic images with a unique identifier, similar in function to
cookies, that are used to track online movements of web users. In
contrast to cookies, which are stored on a computer's hard drive or web
browser, pixel tags are embedded invisibly in web pages. Pixel tags are
often used in combination with cookies, trigger the placing of cookies,
and transmit information to us or our service providers. This enables
two websites to share information. The resulting connection can
include information such as a device's IP address, the time a
person viewed the pixel, an identifier associated with the browser
or device, the type of browser being used and the URL of the web
page from which the pixel was viewed. Pixel tags also allow us to
send email messages in a format that users can read, tell us
whether emails have been opened, and help to ensure we are sending
only messages that may be of interest to our users. We may also
use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to a
user.
-
Threat Detection. We use certain service providers, such as
ThreatMetrix, to provide threat detection, user authentication,
and fraud prevention services. These service providers may automatically
collect certain information about your visits to the Website and
Application(s), as well as the device you use to connect to our
Services, in order to monitor for potential threats and bad
actors. This information may include, among other things, your IP
address and your device's unique identifiers. If you would like to
know more about ThreatMetrix's data privacy practices, please
review their privacy policy located at:
https://www.threatmetrix.com/privacy-policy.
-
Collection of Data in Connection with Advertising. We
may use certain vendors to serve ads on our
Services, as well as on other websites,
applications, and social media networks. In connection with the
delivery of advertising, certain vendors,
including, but not limited to, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, TikTok,
Snapchat, FantasyPros, LiveRamp, The Trade Desk and TruSignal, may
collect information about you and your visits to this and other
websites. That information may include your IP address, internet
service provider, unique personal identifiers (e.g., email address), and
the browser you use to visit and use our Services and other websites and
applications. They may do this by using cookies, beacons, pixel tags,
clear gifs, or other technologies. The information collected may be
used, among other purposes, to deliver advertising targeted to
your interests and to better understand your usage of, preferences
on, and visitation of our Services and other sites, social media
networks, and applications tracked by such vendors. This Privacy
Policy does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, cookies,
pixel tags and other technologies used in connection with other
parties' ads, and we encourage you to check the privacy policies
of advertisers and ad services to learn about their use of such
technologies. If you would like more information about these
practices to understand your options for not having your information
collected and used by such companies, please click
http://www.aboutads.info/choices
and
https://www.networkadvertising.org/.
-
Third Party Analytics. We use a
number of service providers, such as Google Analytics, to help
analyze how people use our Website, Applications and Services
("Analytics Companies"). Analytics Companies use cookies
and similar technologies to collect information pertaining to how
people use our Website, Applications and Services, what pages they
visit, and what other sites they may have used prior to using our
Website, Applications, and Services. The information generated by
the cookies used by these Analytics Companies (including your IP
address) is transmitted and stored by the Analytics Companies on
their servers. The Analytics Companies use this information to
evaluate the way visitors use our Website, Applications and Services,
compile reports to us on Website, Applications and Services
activity and provide other services relating to Website,
Applications and Services activity and internet usage. We use the
information we get from Analytics Companies to improve and
optimize our Website, Applications, and Services. The Analytics
Companies may also transfer this information to third parties
where required to do so by law or where such third parties process
the information on the Analytics Companies' behalf.
-
Referral Affiliates. We may enter into agreements with
companies that refer users to our Services via hyperlinks
available on the referring party's website. We may automatically
collect certain information, such as your IP address, other
personal identifiers, and the identity of the referring website via
cookies, pixel tags and similar technologies that are provided to us in
connection with your use of the referring party's website.
-
Location Information. We may collect your location
information, including your geolocation records, for purposes of
verifying whether you are eligible to participate in a Game,
sweepstakes, or giveaway or to determine if you are otherwise
permitted to use our Website, Application(s), or Services. We may
also use such information to comply with our legal obligations,
protect our legal rights, and address existing or anticipated
disputes.
c. Information Collected From or About Friends
-
Refer-a-Friend. Our Services enable you to invite your
friends to join in the fun. We offer several ways to invite friends
to play on the Website and Applications. All options include the use of
a unique URL link provided to you by DraftKings that you must use
to direct people who do not have an existing Account to the
Website and Applications to become a referred friend ("Link").
You may share the Link with friends via email, text, Twitter,
Facebook, and other ways. When a friend uses the Link to register
an Account on DraftKings, the Link enables us to associate that
friend with the referrer, primarily for the purpose of awarding
bonuses. The Link and the terms and conditions of the
Refer-a-Friend program are available at
DraftKings Refer a Friend Terms.
We also employ techniques to facilitate invitations to friends
using the Link, including a contact importer tool that allows you
to add your contacts, including those in your address book, so
that you can ask them to join DraftKings and communicate with you
through the Website, Applications, and Services.
Our contact importer tool may not be available to users in
certain countries.
In the event it is available, with your permission, we will access your
address book and import your contacts' names, email addresses, phone
numbers, locations, and associated details to determine which of your
friends have not registered an Account on DraftKings. We rely upon you
to obtain any consents from your friends that may be required by
law to allow us to access, upload, and use their data for this
purpose. You or your friends may contact us at
privacy@draftkings.com
to request the removal of this information from our database.
-
Find-a-Friend. Our Services may also enable you to invite
your friends who already have an Account to participate in a Game.
In order to invite friends with Accounts to join a Game, you may: (i)
enter your friend's username associated with their Account to find and
locate them; or (ii) in the event you are using our Application(s), use
our contact importer tool to import and search through your contacts,
including contacts in your address book to match those of your friends
who are also registered DraftKings users. Our contact importer
tool may not be available to users in certain countries. In the
event it is available, with your permission, we will access your
address book and import your contacts' names, email addresses,
phone numbers, location, and associated information to facilitate
the connection with your friends. Again, it is your responsibility
to obtain any consents from your friends that may be required by
law to allow us to access, upload, and use their personal
information for this purpose.
d. Information Collected from Other Sources
We may supplement the information we have about you with information
received from other sources including from our pages on certain Social
Networking Sites, the Social Networking Sites themselves, and from
commercially available sources (e.g., data brokers and public databases).
Your activity on other websites and applications may be associated with
your personal information in order to improve and customize our Services
and the ads delivered on our Website and Application(s). The information we
receive may include demographic data such as age, gender and income level,
your preferences, interests, associations, commercial information,
including records of products or services purchased, obtained, or
considered and other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies, as
well as information regarding your interaction with various websites and
applications, including the Services. This information is used to create
and deliver advertising, improve and optimize our marketing efforts,
perform user verification, authentication and fraud detection, and comply
with our legal obligations.
4. INTERACTION WITH THIRD-PARTY SITES AND SERVICES
Certain products, services, or other materials displayed on the Website and
Applications may integrate with, be integrated into, or be provided in
connection with certain third-party services and content. We do not control
those services and content and our Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy do
not apply to those services and content. You should read the terms of use
agreements and privacy policies that apply to such services and content. DK
is not responsible for the practices used by any third-party websites or
services linked to or from our Website or Application(s), including,
without limitation, the information or content contained within them. By
using our Website, Application(s), or Services, you acknowledge and agree
that we are not responsible for and do not have control over any
third-party services and content that you authorize to access information
you provide to them. If you are using a third-party website or service and
allow it to access your personal information, you do so at your own risk.
5. ADDITIONAL USES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

create aggregated, anonymized or de-identified data (i.e., data that is not
reasonably capable of being associated with or linked to you) from personal
information we collected from or about you. We use such data to analyze
request and usage patterns, so that we may improve, optimize, or enhance
our Services and improve our users' experience with and ability to navigate
our Website and Application(s). We reserve the right to use aggregated,
anonymized, or de-identified data for any purpose and disclose it to third
parties for any reason.
Responsible Gaming. As part of DraftKings' commitment to responsible
gaming, we may use the information collected about you to assess whether
you are responsibly playing the Games. In the event we identify potentially
problematic information, we may reach out to you to provide resources to
help ensure that you are playing the Games responsibly. By using our
Website, Application(s) or Services, you consent to our use of your
information for these purposes.

-
Parties You Share With. When you use the Website,

verification which will not affect your credit score. This data will be
maintained for the duration of the business relationship and any legally
required retention period.

Other Disclosures. Regardless of the choices you make
regarding your personal information (as described below), DK may
disclose personal information without consent in certain specific
situations. For example, personal information may be shared to (i)
comply with a duly authorized subpoena or warrant for the personal
information, (ii) in connection with any legal investigations, (iii) if
we have reasonable grounds to believe that the personal
information relates to a breach of Canadian federal or provincial
laws or (iv) to investigate or assist in preventing any violation
or potential violation of law, this policy or our Terms of Use. We
may also disclose your personal information without your consent
to collect a debt that is owed to us.

Advertising Alliances Opt-out: In addition to
adjusting the appropriate settings in your browser, many
advertising companies that may collect information for targeted
advertising purposes are also members of the Digital Advertising
Alliance or the Network Advertising Initiative. Both of these
organizations provide directions on how individuals can opt-out
from targeted advertising by their members. You can find more
information on these opt-out capabilities on
www.aboutads.info
and
www.networkadvertising.org.
7. BIOMETRIC VERIFICATION
With your consent, we may use facial image scan services provided by our
vendors (including, for example, Onfido Inc.) to help verify your identity.
These biometric identity verification providers and their contractors
compare facial scan data extracted from your photo in your ID (e.g.,
driver's license) to the facial scan data extracted from the selfie photo
or video you upload, and then report back to us whether or not there is a
match. We will use these results to help verify your identity. These scans
and associated results may constitute biometric information or biometric
identifiers under certain laws. Any biometric identifier/information or
representation of it will be processed based on your consent and collected,
stored, and managed by Onfido or the applicable biometric identity
verification provider. For more information please see
Onfido's Facial Scan Policy and Release
and Onfido's Privacy Policy.
Biometric data collected and processed for our verification purposes is
scheduled to be retained until the earlier of when verification is complete
or for up to one (1) year following your last interaction with the
biometric identity verification provider, unless otherwise set forth at the
time you provide consent or unless otherwise required by law or legal
process. After this period, such biometric data is scheduled to be deleted.
You may decline to use the biometric verification process, but this may
limit our ability to complete the verification process required to use our
Services. You may revoke your consent at any time by emailing us at
privacy@draftkings.com.
8. SECURITY AND RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
-
The security of your information is important to us. We use
reasonable administrative, technical, and physical procedures,
practices, and safeguards designed to protect personal information
we collect from unauthorized access, use, alteration,
exfiltration, or destruction. Any payment card information that we
collect from you will be held by us in encrypted form. Additionally,
we will keep your information for only as long as it is needed to
achieve its purpose or meet our legal obligations, after which it
will be disposed of in accordance with our information retention
and disposition policy and schedule.
-
We make concerted, good faith efforts to maintain the security of
your information. Although we work hard to ensure the integrity
and security of our systems, it must be recognized that no
information system is 100% secure and, therefore, we cannot
guarantee the security of such information. Outages, attacks, human
error, system failure, unauthorized use, or other factors may compromise
the security of user information at any time.
-
You can also play a role in protecting your personal information.
To protect your personal information while using our Website,
Applications and Services, we strongly suggest that you do not
share your Account information and that you adhere to the
following password practices:
-
Use a strong password that is at least eight alphanumeric
characters long, and contains upper and lower-case
characters, numbers, punctuation marks and special characters
such as !@#$;
-
Use a password that is not easily guessed and is not a word
in any language, slang or is based on personal information
such as a family name;
-
Treat your password as confidential and do not disclose it to
anyone else;
-
Do not write down your password;
-
Do not store your password online in unencrypted form;
-
Change your password every three (3)months; and
-
Choose a password that is unique, not one that you use for
other websites or applications.
9. BREACH OF SECURITY SAFEGUARDS
In the event that we suffer a breach of security safeguards resulting in
the unauthorized access to or loss of any of personal information where
there is a resulting real risk of significant harm to an individual, we
will notify the affected individual(s) and applicable governmental
authorities having jurisdiction, if required by applicable law. This
notification will include notification to iGO. We will work closely with
iGO and other applicable governmental authorities having jurisdiction to
contain and remediate the breach.
10. YOUR CHOICES REGARDING PERSONAL INFORMATION
-
Email Communication. We will periodically send you
free newsletters and emails that contain information about our
various products and Services, or other products and services we
feel may be of interest to you. At any time you can easily
indicate your preference to stop receiving such communications from us,
and you may opt out of receiving further marketing from DK, by emailing
us at
privacy@draftkings.com
or by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the email
you receive. Despite your indicated email preferences, we may send
you service-related communications, including notices of any

Changing or Deleting Your Personal Information.
-
You may access, correct or delete any of your personal
information in your Account by simply editing it within your
Account or by requesting access, corrections or deletions by
emailing us at
support@draftkings.com.
You may request deletion of certain personal information
maintained by us, and we will use commercially reasonable
efforts to honor your request, but please note that we may be
legally or otherwise required to keep such information and
not delete it, or to keep such information and not disclose it (or
to keep this information for a certain time, in which case we
will comply with your deletion request only after we have
fulfilled such requirements). As an example, we may refuse
access where providing the personal information would reveal
confidential commercial information that cannot be redacted
from the requested personal information. Where we do not
provide access, we shall explain why.
-
Deletion requests may be made by emailing us at
privacy@draftkings.com
or by submitting a privacy request through the "Contact Us"
web form located at
https://www.draftkings.com/help/contact-us.
When we delete information, it will be deleted from the
active database, but may remain in our archives. We may also
retain your information to prevent fraud or other unlawful
activity or for similar purposes.
-
We take reasonable steps to ensure that the information we
collect, hold, use and disclose about an individual is
complete, up-to-date and accurate, consistent with the requirements
of FIPPA and other applicable privacy laws. However, you also
have a responsibility to inform us if any of your personal
information that we hold is incomplete, up-to-date and
accurate. If at any time you believe that personal
information we hold about you is incorrect, incomplete,
outdated or inaccurate, you have the right to request that we amend
such personal information. If we refuse the correction
request, we will provide written reasons and information
about the complaints process should you not be satisfied with
our reasons.
-
Opt-Out of Personal Information Sharing. As described above, we
and certain other companies may place tracking technologies on our
Website, which allow us and such companies to receive information about
your activity on our Website and related Services that is associated
with your browser or device. You may control the use of certain
tracking technologies and request to opt-out of the sharing of your
personal information with third parties for non-required purposes by

collected about you through the Website, Application(s) or Services and an

You may also request that DK correct any factual inaccuracies in your

12. HOW WE RESPOND TO DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS
Various browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari,
currently offer a "Do Not Track" or "DNT" option that relies on a
technology known as a DNT header, which sends a signal to websites visited
by the user about the user's browser DNT preference setting. Please note
that, at this time, we do not honor "DNT" signals or other mechanisms that
may allow you to opt out of the collection of information across networks
of websites and online services as there is no standard for how online
services should respond to such signals. As standards evolve, we may
develop policies for responding to DNT signals that would be described in
future versions of this Privacy Policy. For more information on DNT
options, please visit
www.allaboutdnt.org.
13. PROHIBITED USERS
As indicated in our Terms of Use, employees, operators, or consultants of a
sport's governing body are prohibited from participating in certain Games

For clarity, examples of sports governing bodies are the National Football
League, Major League Baseball, and the National Basketball Association. We

We will promptly acknowledge receipt of your complaint and we will endeavor

We reserve the right to verify your identity and to seek (where
appropriate) further information from you in connection with your complaint.
Where required by law, we will provide our determination on your complaint

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint, you may write
to us seeking an internal review of our decision. Such internal review will
be completed by an officer not previously involved in the investigation or

outcome of our internal review, you may escalate the complaint to iGO.

delivering notifications to you, then in the event we provide you
notification via email, our dispatch of the email containing such
notification will constitute effective notification of the changes made to
the Privacy Policy. In the event you do not wish to permit changes in our
