FantasyPros CCPA Form: How to Opt Out of Data Sales

If you’re a California resident who’s ever visited FantasyPros, you may have noticed a quiet but important link buried in the privacy policy: the CCPA Data Subject Request, Opt-Out form. It’s not a headline-grabbing feature, but it’s a door to exercising your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Here’s what it does, why it matters, and how to use it.

The form is exactly what it sounds like — a way to tell FantasyPros, “Do Not Sell” your personal information. Under the CCPA, California residents have the right to opt out of the sale of their data. FantasyPros, like many fantasy sports platforms, provides a dedicated page for this request. The page itself is straightforward: it asks whether you’re looking to contact Customer Support about a subscription or account issue, or whether you’re a California resident seeking the CCPA form. If you choose the latter, you’re directed to the opt-out process.

But what does “sale” mean in this context? Under the CCPA, a “sale” isn’t just a cash transaction. It can include sharing data for advertising purposes, profiling, or other uses where your information is exchanged for value — even if that value isn’t money. For a site like FantasyPros, which offers free tools and relies on advertising and partnerships, the data it collects — your browsing behavior, draft preferences, player searches, even your email if you’ve signed up for alerts — could be considered a sale under the law. The opt-out form is your way to pump the brakes.

Why does this matter to a fantasy football fan? Consider the typical FantasyPros user: you’re researching sleepers, comparing expert rankings, maybe using the My Playbook tool to fine-tune your lineup. Every click, every player search, every waiver wire addition you mull over is data. That data helps FantasyPros personalize your experience, but it also feeds ad networks and analytics partners. If you’re uncomfortable with that, the CCPA gives you a say.
