What it is

Nintendo takes steps to protect your data but warns that no security is perfect and cannot guarantee your personal information won't be breached.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If Nintendo suffers a data breach, the 'no absolute security' disclaimer limits Nintendo's legal exposure while your personal data — including purchase history, gameplay data, and account credentials — could be compromised.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

The 'no guarantee of security' disclaimer is standard industry language, but it limits Nintendo's liability in the event of a data breach and places the residual risk of data exposure on users.

View original clause language
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Data security obligations are imposed by FTC Act Section 5 (Safeguards Rule analog for non-financial companies), CCPA/CPRA §1798.150 (private right of action for data breaches resulting from failure to implement reasonable security), COPPA 16 CFR §312.8 (confidentiality, security, integrity of children's personal information), and GDPR Art. 32 (appropriate technical and organizational security measures). State breach notification laws (all 50 US states) require timely notification upon breach of covered personal information. Enforcement: FTC, state AGs, EU DPAs. (2)
