1. THE PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

a. Information You Provide To Us

  • You may choose voluntarily to provide or direct third parties to provide certain personal information to us. Personal information is information from which you can be directly or indirectly identified, such as your name, address, email address, phone number, payment card and financial account information, billing information, driver's license number, Social Security number, and certain online identifiers.
  • For example, you may decide to share or direct third parties to share with us your first and last name, date of birth, location, email address, phone number, username and password, and the country and state/province in which you reside when you create an account to log in to our Services ("Account"). We need this information to set up your Account, verify your identity, and provide you with our Services. The personal information you provide in connection with Account creation will be collected in accordance with this privacy notice.
  • When you use our Website, Applications, or other Services, or deposit or withdraw funds, we may collect all information necessary to assess and complete the transaction and provide you with our Services, including your name, address, email address, phone number, credit or debit card number, other financial account and billing information, Social Security number, tax information, and records of the products and Services you purchased, obtained, or considered.
  • In the event you provide us feedback or contact us via email, chat, phone call, or text message, we will collect your name, email address, and/or phone number, as well as any other message content, in order to send you a reply, provide customer and technical support, develop, improve and optimize our Services, satisfy our legal obligations, enforce our contracts and legal rights, and address any existing or anticipated disputes. We and our service providers and other vendors may record, monitor, and retain emails, chats, calls, and texts. By communicating with us, you consent to this recording, monitoring, and retention. We may use chatbot technology and other automated methods of communication.
  • 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 Services. When you participate in any DFS contest, Gaming offering, or other product through the Website, Applications, or other Services, other participants may be able to see the information you selected for your Profile.
  • In the event you tell us where you are (e.g., by allowing your mobile 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 use certain Services, to comply with relevant laws, and for fraud detection and prevention purposes.
  • We may use the personal information we collect from you, including, but not limited to, your name and address, for purposes of direct mail marketing. This means that you may receive postal mailings from us about our products, Services, promotions, and/or other marketing materials that we believe may be of interest to you.
  • 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 other Services, so we can evaluate your interest in, and the quality of, our Services and provide you customer and technical support.
  • In the event you participate in a DraftKings sweepstakes, giveaway, contest, promotion, or game through our Services, we may collect your email address, username, and phone number to notify you in the event you win. We may also ask for consumers' names and addresses, in order to verify their identities and fulfill any applicable prizes. In some situations, we may need to collect other information about consumer preferences as part of the entry process, such as a prize selection, or in connection with the award of prizes that are valued over a certain dollar amount. Such sweepstakes, giveaways, contests, promotions, and games are voluntary. We recommend that you read the rules associated with any sweepstakes, giveaway, contest, promotion, or game before entering.
  • In the event you use our social networking features, including, but not limited to, those on DK Social and DK Network, we may collect, and other DraftKings consumers may be able to see, your Profile information, including, but not limited to, your username, real name, photo, location, the content you post on your social feed and the social feeds of other DraftKings consumers, and any other information you choose to upload or share. We may also collect, and other consumers may also be able to see, information about the DFS contests and Gaming offerings you participate in, including, but not limited to, contest entry fees, wagers and betting feed data, and contest lineups. In the event you elect to sync, upload, or import data about your contacts from your device's address book, we may collect and use that information to provide you and your contacts with our Services, including, but not limited to, helping you find and connect with your contacts and helping your contacts connect with you. 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, sync, upload, import, or otherwise share information with us and others in order to avoid disclosing sensitive, harmful, or unlawful information. You are solely responsible for the content you post, upload, or share and other information you provide, whether by syncing, uploading, importing, or otherwise, when you choose to use our social networking features. You may control the information you upload or share through our social networking features by using our social privacy settings. The social privacy settings allow you to determine: who is able to see your Profile and your DFS and Gaming activity through our social networking features; who can add you as a friend; who can find you in a username search; who is able to see your real name 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 posted about you; and who can see your posts.

b. Information Collected Via Technology

  • Information Collected by our Services

In order to improve and personalize our Services and meet our legal obligations, we may automatically track certain information about your visits to and usage of our Website, Applications, and other Services, including your browser type, operating system, Internet protocol (IP) address, device identifier, domain name, clickstream data, referring/exist pages, geolocation data, and a date/time stamp for your visits. We also use this information to analyze trends, administer the 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, but not limited to, fraud. Some of this information may also be collected so that when you use the Website, Applications, or other 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 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. In the event you have downloaded our Application(s), we may also collect certain information from your mobile device, including information about how you use our Application(s). This information is generally used to help us deliver relevant information to you and to detect and prevent fraud and other unlawful activity. In the event our Application crashes 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 Applications.

  • 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 a 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 of our Website, Applications, and other 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 Applications and the performance of our Services. These types of information are collected to make the Website and Applications more useful to you and to tailor your online experience to meet your 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 browser or with third parties. You can control and/or delete cookies used by our Services at any time. 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, to trigger the placing of cookies, and/or to transmit information to us or our vendors. 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 a 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 consumers 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 consumers. We may also use information collected through pixel tags 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 Applications, 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. In the event you would like to know more about ThreatMetrix's data privacy practices, please review the Lexis Nexis ThreatMetrix Processing Notice.

  • Collection of Data in Connection with Advertising and Marketing

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, FantasyPros, LiveRamp, Reddit, Snapchat, TikTok, The Trade Desk, TruSignal, and Twitter, may collect information about you and your visits to the Website and Applications and other websites and applications. That information may include your IP address, internet service provider, unique personal identifiers (e.g., email address), the browser you use to visit the Website and Applications and other websites and applications, and certain commercial information such as records of products or services purchased, obtained, or considered. They may do this by using cookies, pixel tags, 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 Website, Applications and other Services as well as other sites, social media networks, and applications tracked by such vendors. This notice 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. In the event 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/. We may also display interest-based ads, sometimes referred to as personalized or targeted ads, using the information you make available to us when you interact with the Website, Applications, and other Services.

  • Measurement Data and Third-Party Analytics

We use a number of service providers and other vendors, including, but not limited to, Google, Hulu, and Roku to help analyze and measure how consumers use our Services ("Analytics Companies"). Analytics Companies may use cookies, pixel tags, and other technologies to collect information pertaining to how people use our Services, what pages they visit, and what other sites they may have used prior to using our Services. We use the information we obtain from Analytics Companies to improve and optimize our Website, Applications, and other Services and to measure the effectiveness of our ads.

  • Referral Affiliates

We may enter into agreements with companies that refer consumers to our Services via hyperlinks available on the referring party's website. We may automatically collect certain information, such as your IP address, other identifiers, and the identity of the referring website via cookies, pixel tags, and other 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 DFS contest, Gaming offering, sweepstakes, promotion, or giveaway or to determine whether you are otherwise permitted to use our 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 may 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 us 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, Facebook, Twitter, 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 through 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 other Services. Our contact importer tool may not be available to consumers in certain regions, countries, and other jurisdictions. 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 and contacts that may be required by law to allow us to access, upload, and use their personal information for this purpose. You or your friends or contacts may reach 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 our Services. In order to invite friends with Accounts to join in the Services, 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 consumers. Our contact importer tool may not be available to consumers in certain regions, countries, and other jurisdictions. 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 facilitate the connection with your friends. It is your responsibility to obtain any consents from your friends and contacts 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, but not limited to, our vendors, our pages on certain social networking sites (e.g., Discord), the social networking sites themselves, and commercially available sources (e.g., data aggregators, data brokers, and public databases). Your activity on other websites and applications may be associated with your personal information in order to evaluate risk and to provide, improve, and customize our Services and the ads delivered on our Website and Applications. The information we collect may include demographic data such as age, gender, and income level, email address, username, online identifiers, your preferences, interests, associations, photos, commercial information (including, but not limited to, records of products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, and other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies, fraud indicators, and risk scores assessing your ability to complete a transaction), as well as information regarding your interaction with various websites and applications, including, but not limited to, the Services. This information is used to create and deliver advertising, provide and improve our VIP and marketing Services, perform user verification, evaluate risk, detect and prevent fraud, and comply with our legal obligations. By accepting this privacy notice and using our Services, you authorize third parties, which may include your mobile operator(s), internet service provider(s), financial institution(s), as well as government organizations and other authoritative data sources, to disclose to us and our service providers and other vendors your personal information for the purposes of validating your identity and detecting and preventing fraud. This information may include, but is not limited to, your credit record number, IP address, device identifier, browser type, operating system, location, and data regarding your interaction with an Internet website or application.

2. INTERACTION WITH THIRD-PARTY SITES AND SERVICES

Certain products, services, or other materials displayed on the Website, Applications, and other Services may integrate with, be integrated into, or be provided in connection with certain third-party services and content.

  • Co-Branded Companies

"Co-Branded Companies" are entities with which we may jointly offer a service or feature.

You may be asked to provide information about yourself to register for a service offered by a Co-Branded Company. In doing so, you may be providing your information to both us and the Co-Branded Company, or we may share your information with the Co-Branded Company.

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, Socure, or the applicable biometric identity verification provider. Please note that biometric verification options may not be available to consumers in certain states, countries, and other jurisdictions. For more information, please see the Onfido Facial Scan Policy and Release, the Onfido Privacy Policy, the Socure Document & Biometric Verification Privacy Notice, and the Socure Privacy Statement.

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 three (3) years 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.

Payment card information that we collect from you will be held by us or our payment processors, service providers, and other vendorsin encrypted form. Consumer information will be securely erased from hard disks, magnetic tapes, solid state memory, and other devices before we dispose of the device; and in the event this is not possible, the device will be destroyed.

In the event the requestor has a password-protected Account with us, we may verify the requestor's identity through our existing authentication practices and may require the requestor to re-authenticate themself before disclosing, correcting, or deleting the Account holder's data.

8. HOW WE RESPOND TO DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS

Various browsers, including, but not limited to, Firefox, Internet Explorer, 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 notice.

  • Charge the CA Consumer different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties;
  • Provide the CA Consumer with a different level or quality of goods or services;

  • Designating an Authorized Agent to Submit Privacy Requests

CA Consumers may use an authorized agent to submit requests to access, delete, or correct their personal information. An authorized agent is a person or entity registered with the California Secretary of State that a CA Consumer has authorized to act on their behalf. In the event you choose to submit a privacy request to us through an authorized agent, we may require that you provide the agent with written permission to do so and that the agent verify their own identity with us. In the event your privacy request is submitted by an agent without proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf, we may deny the request.

  • "Shine the Light" Law

A CA Consumer who has provided personal information to a business with whom they have established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes is entitled to request information about whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes. In general, in the event the business has made such a disclosure of personal information, upon receipt of a request from a CA Consumer, the business is required to provide a list of all third parties to which personal information was disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of personal information that were disclosed.

However, under the law, a business is not required to provide the above-described lists in the event the business adopts and discloses to the public (in its privacy notice) a policy of not disclosing CA Consumers' personal information to third parties for direct marketing purposes, unless the business gives consumers a mechanism to opt out of having their personal information disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes. Rather, the business may comply with the law by notifying the CA Consumer of their right to prevent disclosure of personal information and providing a cost-free means to exercise the right.

We have opted for this alternative approach. As stated in this notice, we give CA Consumers a mechanism to opt out of having their personal information disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes. Therefore, we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of third parties that received your personal information for marketing purposes. In the event you wish to opt out of sharing your personal information with third parties for direct marketing purposes, please see the instructions in Section 7 for how to opt out.
