NINTENDO ZONE

We may collect and use your PII and Non-PII to notify you when you are close to a Nintendo Zone. If you choose to access a Nintendo Zone, we may
use your PII and Non-PII, for example, to facilitate your access to applications and content. In addition, third parties may collect PII that you provide
to them and Non-PII through the Nintendo Zone.

LINKING ACCOUNTS

You may link your Nintendo 3DS Shop Account to your Club Nintendo account to receive personalized content and to participate in a variety of activi-
ties, promotions and programs. By linking your Club Nintendo account to your Nintendo 3DS Shop Account, you consent to having any PII you enter
on your Club Nintendo account linked to your Nintendo 3DS Shop Account. You may unlink these accounts in the Settings section of the Nintendo
3DS Shop.

THIRD-PARTY WEB BEACONS AND COOKIES

In the event you visit a third party’s Web site through the Internet browser on the Nintendo 3DS System, or you choose to view an ad delivered by a
third party, such as those made available through the Nintendo Zone, those Web sites or ads may also contain tools such as cookies and Web Beacons
which may be accessible to such third party to collect information about your online browsing. These third parties also may use ad networks, ad serv-
ers, ad exchanges, or other third parties that may collect information when you view or interact with advertisements or Web sites across the Internet
in an effort to understand your interests and deliver you advertisements tailored to your interests. Nintendo does not have access to the information
these third parties may collect about your interests to deliver relevant advertising to you, and the information practices of these third parties are not
covered by this Privacy Policy. We strongly recommend that you refer to the privacy policies of these third parties to learn more about how they may
collect, use, and disclose your information.

GAMES, APPLICATIONS, ADVERTISING, AND CONTENT PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES

You may disclose PII and Non-PII to third parties when you use the Nintendo 3DS System to play third-party games, use third-party applications,
view third-party advertisements, or visit third-party Web sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties, and we recom-
mend that you review their privacy policies before submitting any information.

ATTENTION PARENTS OR LEGAL GUARDIANS: PROTECTING CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

The Nintendo 3DS System is directed to a general audience. We do not knowingly collect or store PII from children under the age of 13. Before
allowing your children to use the Nintendo 3DS System, we strongly recommend that you educate them on the importance of not sharing PII about
themselves with strangers. Children must not include any PII in their Nintendo 3DS System user name, Mii name, Mii profile information, in-game
nicknames or other User Content. Children also must not disclose PII when communicating with other Nintendo 3DS System users or
Nintendo through the Nintendo 3DS System wireless communication features.
We strongly recommend that you supervise your children’s use of the Nintendo 3DS System at all times. You can restrict your children’s use of certain
features of the Nintendo 3DS System by setting up the Nintendo 3DS Parental Controls. For a detailed description of the Nintendo 3DS System
wireless communication features and Parental Controls, please see the Nintendo 3DS System Operations Manual included with your Nintendo 3DS
System. This Operations Manual is also available at support.nintendo.com.

SECURITY

We have established reasonable safeguards to help ensure the security, integrity and privacy of the PII submitted or collected from your Nintendo
3DS System. We also have implemented reasonable security measures to help protect information under our control against loss, misuse or altera-
tion. Nintendo will notify users of a data breach involving unencrypted PII by email or by posting a notice on our Web site. While we strive to safe-
guard your PII, no data storage system or transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
Please note that information collected by a Third Party Content Provider may not have the same security protections as information you submit to us,
and we are not responsible for protecting the security of such information.
If you install unauthorized applications or content on your Nintendo 3DS System or make unauthorized modifications to the Nintendo 3DS System,
your PII may be compromised. Nintendo is not responsible for any data collection, use or disclosure from any Nintendo 3DS System with unauthor-
ized applications or applications installed.

OPTING-OUT OF INFORMATION COLLECTION

You may use the Nintendo 3DS System without disclosing PII; however, some features and applications may not be available to you. If you have
provided PII to us, you can opt-out of the collection of such data by turning off wireless communications on your Nintendo 3DS System. You also may
be able to opt-out of some types of information collection through the Nintendo 3DS System settings and Parental Controls.

DISABLING AND REMOVING INFORMATION STORED ON YOUR NINTENDO 3DS SYSTEM

Certain PII about you that you disclose when communicating with third parties or using your Nintendo 3DS System may be stored on your Nintendo
3DS System. For your protection, before selling or otherwise transferring your Nintendo 3DS System, please be sure to remove all stored information
on your Nintendo 3DS System. For instructions on how to remove this information, please see the Internet Setup section of your Nintendo 3DS
System Operations Manual or contact a Nintendo consumer service representative.
If you transfer data to a Nintendo 3DS System using the System Transfer or Nintendo 3DS Transfer Tool features, any PII or Non-PII included in such
data will be transferred as part of this process.

INTERNATIONAL USERS

Any information you provide or that is collected through the Nintendo 3DS System may be stored and processed in the United States or any other
country in which we or our affiliated companies, vendors or agents maintain facilities. As such, PII may be accessed by foreign governmental authori-
ties and otherwise in accordance with applicable laws. By using the Nintendo 3DS System, you consent to such storage and processing. We abide by
the safe harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European
Union. However, this Privacy Policy is intended to meet the laws and requirements of the United States and those of Canada and Latin America,
which may not be the same as the laws and regulations of your home country. If you are not located in the United States, Canada or Latin America
please go back to the country selection screen and select an appropriate country so that you will be aware of the policies that apply to you.
