Nintendo offers a number of programs and online activities
on our websites. Many of these activities require that we
collect certain information from the participant, such as
their name and email address, and some activities allow participants
to interact with each other via our community area.
Some examples of Nintendo's on-line activities include:
- Community activities such as chat rooms, bulletin
boards and Camp Hyrule (our annual online summer camp)
- Site activities such as submitting game reviews and uploading graphics.
- Participation in surveys, sweepstakes, and contests.
- News from Nintendo through regular mail, email communications, and mobile phone text messaging.
In order for children 12 and under to participate in any
of the above activities, Nintendo requires a signed parental/guardian
permission form. The form authorizes Nintendo to collect basic
information from the child online, and also allows the parent
to select which activities are okay for their child to participate
in. For information on the parental permission form process,
including how to obtain a permission form, link
here.
Once the initial parental permissions have been established,
we also have an online program available that gives parents
the ability to view the information we have on file, update
and change the permissions that have been established, and
add additional children who might also like to participate
in our website activities. For information on this program,
link here.
