How is this scored? →
Baseline 4.9 here · corpus average 31.4 across 191 scored platforms Bottom quartile Q1 18.4 · median 30.8 · Q3 42.3

Higher = more protective of you, the user/customer — a deliberately user-protective lens, not a universal “good vs bad” score. Computed algorithmically from Nintendo’s cited governance stances; no dimension we haven’t confidently read is ever counted against the score. Free, reproducible, and never purchasable.

Key Governance Provisions
Submissions Become Sole Property of Nintendo

Because Submissions automatically become Nintendo's sole property, users retain no ownership or confidentiality rights in anything they submit.

Broad License Grant Over User Content

Because the license is irrevocable and perpetual, Nintendo retains these broad rights over User Content even if the user later deletes it or stops using the Services.

Public Visibility Of User Profile Data

This establishes that a wide range of personal profile and behavioural data may be disclosed beyond Nintendo itself, up to and including public visibility.

No Guarantee Of Security Impenetrability

This establishes that Nintendo makes no warranty of absolute data security, which limits users' expectations about the protection of their information.

Personal Use Only Limited License Grant

Because the license is limited and non-sublicensable and restricted to personal use only, users cannot share, transfer, or commercially exploit the access Nintendo grants.
