Why it matters

Children are a significant user base for Nintendo products, and this provision directly governs how their sensitive data is handled, including what can be collected and shared.

Consumer impact

Nintendo collects extensive personal data including gameplay habits, purchase history, device identifiers, and communications, and may share this with third-party advertising and analytics partners. Children under 13 receive additional protections through parental consent requirements under COPPA, and California residents have rights to access, correct, delete, or opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information. You can submit a privacy rights request through Nintendo's dedicated privacy request portal at https://www.nintendo.com/us/privacy-policy/.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Visit Nintendo's privacy policy page and use the privacy request form to submit a request to review or delete your child's personal data. Parents may also use the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app to manage account-level settings.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC enforces COPPA and investigates violations of children's online privacy protections, including failures to obtain verifiable parental consent.
