3. 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.

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;

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 updates to our Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy.
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 clicking the Do Not Share My Personal Information link in the footer of our Website and following the instructions on the page that appears. Please also keep in mind that your cookie and tracking tool preferences are specific to the device, website, and browser you are using and may be deleted when you clear your browser's cache.

You may also request that DK correct any factual inaccuracies in your personal information by contacting support@draftkings.com.

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 where such employee, operator, or consultant is prohibited from participating in Games by such governing body ("Prohibited Users").

We may report any participation in the Services or in any Games by any Prohibited Users to the applicable sport's governing body.
