Introduction
Welcome to Nintendo's Privacy Policy. At Nintendo, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience when using our websites, games, applications, online services, and hardware (collectively, our "Services"). This policy outlines how Nintendo Co., Ltd. and its affiliates ("Nintendo", "we", "us", or "our") collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you access or use our Services.
By using our Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your information and how we will treat it.
Information We Collect
We collect various types of information to provide and improve our Services to you. This information can be broadly categorized as follows:
Automatically Collected Information
When you access or use our Services, certain information may be automatically collected about your device and usage patterns. This includes:
- IP Address: Your Internet Protocol (IP) address is collected to estimate your general location, for security purposes, to diagnose problems with our servers, and to administer our Services.
- Device and Browser Information: We collect information about the device you use to access our Services, such as the device type, operating system, unique device identifiers, browser type and version, language settings, and referring/exit pages. This helps us ensure compatibility, troubleshoot issues, and analyze usage trends.
- Usage Data: We gather data on how you interact with our Services, including the pages you visit, the features you use, the time spent on certain pages or services, gameplay statistics, crash reports, and other diagnostic data. This data helps us understand user engagement, improve service functionality, and personalize your experience.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our Services and hold certain information. Cookies are small data files placed on your device.
- How We Use Them: We use cookies for various purposes, including to remember your preferences, analyze how our Services are used, personalize content, and to facilitate advertising. Some cookies are essential for the operation of our Services.
- Your Choices: You have the option to accept or refuse cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. However, please note that if you decline cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Services.
Third-Party Services
We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Services (e.g., service providers, analytics providers, payment processors, hosting partners). These third parties have access to your personal information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
Our Services may also contain links to other websites or services not operated by us. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.
Advertising
We may use the information collected from you to deliver relevant advertisements to you on our Services and on third-party websites or applications. This may involve working with advertising partners who use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your activities across different websites and services to provide you with targeted advertising based on your interests.
You may be able to opt-out of personalized advertising through your device settings or through industry opt-out mechanisms provided by organizations like the Digital Advertising Alliance (www.aboutads.info/choices/) or the Network Advertising Initiative (www.networkadvertising.org/choices/). Please note that opting out of personalized advertising does not mean you will no longer see ads; it means the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.
Children's Privacy
Nintendo is committed to protecting the privacy of children. Our Services are generally not directed to children under 13 without verifiable parental consent where required by applicable law, such as the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States.
When we collect personal information from children under 13, we do so in compliance with applicable law, including obtaining verifiable parental consent prior to the collection, use, or disclosure of such information, or where an exception applies. Parents have the right to review the personal information collected from their child, revoke consent, and request that the information be deleted.
If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13 without parental consent, please contact us immediately through our Contact Page.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.
