I noticed a new "toast" (dismissable banner) for the site when I visited today referring to updated Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and Terms of Sale. This update was to comply with a new law in California (the CCPA). I opened links to each of these three.
To my interest, it did not direct me to pages on the DDB web site, but rather to pages on "fandom.com". OK, I missed something, I think.
Checking Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%26D_Beyond), I see that DDB is operated by Curse, originally part of Twitch, and then Curse was purchased by Fandom.
Are there official pages I can read on the relationships between WotC and Curse and/or Fandom? I find it interesting, and have no complaints.
I remember when they were bought by fandom (over a year ago). There were several announcements, emails went out, several dev updates mentioned it, everyone in Europe had to accept permissions to transfer account information, the forums buzzed about it for months, there was an article (I think), there were son new FAQs made, sales receipts changed, the bottom of every page now says "powered by fandom." All for the last year.
Even as recently as a few months ago there are occasionally people in Europe who haven't been on in forever and had to jump through hoops to get their account back.

This is the announcement post in the forums for Fandom:

As far as WotC and Curse/Fandom/D&D Beyond, I don't think there is any official post that describes in detail the licensing arrangement.
