A Nintendo Account gives you access to Nintendo services, such as playing games online, managing your purchases, participating in the My Nintendo™ rewards program, and more. Nintendo offers a variety of security options and strongly encourages you to make sure your account is as secure as possible. Please remember that it’s important to use your own account when you play, and to not share your account with others. Parents of younger players can set up a Nintendo Account for a child so everyone in the family can have fun, while parents remain in control of choices that are right for their family.

We want players to have fun and enjoy the worlds of Nintendo, and that works best when we treat others with respect and work together to keep our communities welcoming for everyone. Nintendo's Community Guidelines outline our expectations when players engage with Nintendo products, services, or events, as well as how we act to uphold our guidelines.

Players have an important role in helping us uphold the behavioral expectations outlined in our Community Guidelines. In addition to playing by the rules themselves, we encourage players to use our products’ built-in reporting features to let us know if they encounter any behavior or content that violates these guidelines.

Your privacy and the choices you make to protect your personal information are very important to us. We take great care to design our products and services in ways that respect your choices. Our Privacy Policy is written to help you understand what information we collect as well as how it’s used and protected. We encourage everyone to keep their personal information private, and never to share contact information online.

We offer players choices about how they engage with our products and services. We encourage them to explore the personal settings available in our products and services like Nintendo Accounts.

At Nintendo, we want to create experiences that put smiles on faces, and those efforts extend to our online features. In addition to filtering, reporting, and moderation, Nintendo game developers often implement creative solutions directly in our software products.

We strive to create positive gaming experiences for players of all ages, and we recognize that parents are best suited to decide what is appropriate for their family members. Parents are encouraged to explore the tools available and adjust the level of oversight as their children grow up.

Our Online Safety Principles outline many aspects of how we and others in our industry collaborate to protect players. In addition, Nintendo is a member of the Family Online Safety Institute, as well as the Technology Coalition and participates in Project Lantern.
