What it is

Nintendo may share your personal data — including gameplay information — with outside game developers, publishers, advertising companies, and analytics firms.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your personal data including gameplay history and device identifiers may be passed to third-party game developers and advertising partners outside Nintendo's direct control, potentially enabling profiling and targeted advertising without a clear opt-out process for all users.

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.
  • Export Your Data
    Log into your Nintendo Account at accounts.nintendo.com and navigate to Privacy Settings to review what data is shared with third parties. California residents can submit a 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' request through the privacy request link in the policy.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Once your data is shared with third parties, their own privacy policies govern its use, which may allow uses that go beyond what Nintendo itself permits, including targeted advertising profiling.

We may share your information with third parties, including game developers and publishers, to provide you with the products and services you request. We may also share information with advertising partners and analytics providers to help us understand how our services are used and to provide you with relevant advertising.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Third-party data sharing implicates CCPA §1798.115 (right to know about data disclosure) and §1798.120 (opt-out of sale/sharing), as sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising constitutes 'sharing' under CPRA amendments. GDPR Art. 28 requires Data Processing Agreements with processors; Art. 26 applies to joint controllers. Where sharing involves international data transfers, GDPR Chapter V (Art. 44-49) standard contractual clauses (SCCs) are required. FTC Act Section 5 governs deceptive disclosures about data sharing scope. Enforcement: FTC, California AG, EU DPAs. (2)
