to provide you with more customized services, we may also receive and record information on our server logs from the Nintendo

Nintendo DSi Shop catalog and other catalogs; (ii) communicate with you regarding games, contests, sweepstakes, surveys, product

 

 

changes, Nintendo WFC issues and more; (iii) facilitate your use of certain Nintendo DSi applications and features; (iv) process orders

 

 

you have placed through your Nintendo DSi; and (v) set up repair orders. Some of the types of information collected and the way the

 

 

information is handled are detailed by category below.

 

 

Surveys: We may conduct surveys of Nintendo DSi users. The information we collect from you in a survey will be demographic or

 

 

opinion information and will not be tied to your Personal Information unless we notify you otherwise. The results of anonymous or

 

 

aggregate data collected from surveys, but not Personal Information, may be disclosed to the public.

 

 

Contests and Sweepstakes: We may host various contests and sweepstakes. To enter you may be required to submit certain

 

 

Personal Information about yourself. For more information about Nintendo contests or sweepstakes, please see the official rules of the

 

 

contest or sweepstake you are entering.

may use to recommend games to you or to develop new games and services. For more information, please visit http://support.nintendo.com.

 

 

Nintendo DSi Shop Account: If you pay for items through the Nintendo DSi Shop with your credit card, you need to provide a valid

 

 

credit card number, expiration date, credit card security code and your city, state/county/province and zip code/postal code. We do

 

 

not ask for your name or your complete address unless you order items that we must ship to you, rather than deliver via a download.

We do not link IP addresses to Personal Information unless we notify you or unless necessary to enforce our Nintendo DSi EULA or Code of Conduct or to respond to legal process.

Web Beacons: Certain Nintendo DSi online applications may use a common Internet technology called “Web beacons” (also called “Web bugs,”“action tags,”“pixel trackers,” or “clear GIFs”), which are small graphic images placed on a Web page, Web-based document, or in an email message, designed to collect certain information and monitor user activity online. Web beacons are invisible to you because they are typically very small (only 1-by-1 pixel) and the same color as the background of the Web page, document or email message. We may use Web beacons to collect anonymous information such as the Nintendo DSi IP address, MAC address, the URL of the page the Web user comes from, and the time the Web beacon is activated (such as when you view the Web page, advertisement, or email containing the Web beacon). We do not use Web beacons to collect Personal Information. We may use the anonymous information collected through Web beacons to determine how to improve the Nintendo DSi applications by seeing which areas, features, and products are most popular; personalizing the Nintendo DSi services and making recommendations based on downloaded products; and completing transactions you have requested. In the event you visit a third party’s Web site through the Internet browser on the Nintendo DSi, or you choose to view an ad from a third party, such as those made available at Nintendo Zone stations, those Web sites or ads may also contain tools such as cookies and Web beacons which may be accessible to such third party.

assurance. In some cases, we may add to or update your Personal Information with data collected from offline sources (e.g., mail-in

 

registration cards or date of purchase information from retailers). If we combine information collected offline with information

 

collected through the Nintendo DSi, the combined Personal Information will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
