What it is

Nintendo can change this privacy policy at any time, and your continued use of Nintendo services after a change means you automatically agree to the new terms.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If Nintendo updates its privacy policy to allow broader data collection or new sharing with advertising partners, your continued use of Nintendo Switch or any Nintendo service will be treated as your acceptance of those changes — even if you weren't aware of them.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Automatic acceptance of policy changes through continued use means users could unknowingly consent to expanded data collection or new sharing practices simply by logging in after a policy update.

View original clause language
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and, where appropriate, by sending you an email or displaying a notice on our services. Your continued use of our services after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Unilateral policy modification with deemed acceptance via continued use is scrutinized under FTC Act Section 5 as potentially deceptive where material changes expand data use beyond original consent. GDPR Art. 13-14 require notification of changes to processing purposes; where changes require a new lawful basis, fresh consent under Art. 7 may be required. CCPA/CPRA does not explicitly prohibit unilateral modifications but requires updated disclosures at or before the point of collection for new data practices. COPPA 16 CFR §312.5(c) requires new verifiable parental consent for material changes to data collection practices affecting children. Enforcement: FTC, EU DPAs, California AG/CPPA. (2)
