ATTENTION PARENTS OR LEGAL GUARDIANS: 
PROTECTING CHILDREN’S PRIVACY 
We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13, absent verifiable parental consent. 
Before allowing your children to use the Nintendo DSi, we strongly recommend you educate them on the importance of not sharing 
personally identifiable information about themselves with strangers. In particular, we recommend you tell your children not to use 
any personally identifiable information for their Nintendo DSi user name, in-game nicknames, or when communicating with other 
Nintendo DSi users through the Nintendo DSi wireless communication features. We strongly recommend you assist your children 
with	the	setup	of	their	Nintendo	DSi,	and	that	you	supervise	your	children’s	use	of	the	Nintendo	DSi	at	all	times.	 You	can	restrict	
your	children’s	use	of	certain	features	of	the	Nintendo	DSi	by	setting	up	the	Nintendo	DSi	Parental	Controls	function.	For	a	detailed	
description of the Nintendo DSi wireless communication features and Parental Controls, please see the Nintendo DSi Operations 
Manual included with your Nintendo DSi and also available at http://support.nintendo.com.
INFORMATION COLLECTED 
“Personal Information” is information that may be used to identify you such as your name, address, telephone number, or name based 
email	address	(for	example,	[email protected]).	 We	only	collect	Personal	Information	you	provide	to	us	or	as	described	below.	
If you choose not to provide us with Personal Information, use of your Nintendo DSi will not be affected, except to the extent that 
certain features, such as those described in the section immediately below, request disclosure of certain Personal Information. 
In addition to the Personal Information you provide to us, we may collect anonymous information from you such as your age, gender, 
geographic	area,	Nintendo	DSi	internet	protocol	(IP)	address,	and	media	access	control	(MAC)	address.	 We	will	not	link	your	Personal	
Information	with	any	anonymous	or	aggregate	information	we	collect	from	you	unless	(1)	you	authorize	us	to	do	so;	(2)	you	choose	
to	link	your	DSi	Shop	Account	to	your	Club	Nintendo	account;	(3)	we	notify	you	first;	or	(4)	we	are	responding	to	legal	process.	In	order	
to	provide	you	with	more	customized	services,	we	may	also	receive	and	record	information	on	our	server	logs	from	the	Nintendo	
Wi-Fi	Connection	Service	(WFC),	including	but	not	limited	to	your	IP	address,	MAC	address,	cookies,	transactions,	settings	and	
download activity. If you do not want Nintendo to collect this information you can turn off Nintendo WFC on your Nintendo DSi. 
If you 
provide sensitive information when communicating with third parties via your Nintendo DSi, Nintendo does not receive or collect that 
information.	 Your	Nintendo	DSi	may	store	on	its	hard	drive	Personal	Information	or	sensitive	information	for	your	convenience.
HOW SUCH INFORMATION IS COLLECTED AND USED 
We	may	collect	Personal,	anonymous	or	aggregate	information	from	you	for	several	purposes	including	to:	(i)	customize	your	
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.
Nintendo DSi Online Applications: Certain Nintendo DSi online applications may request anonymous information from you, which we 
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. 
You	must	be	over	the	age	of	18	to	place	orders	online.	Any	credit	card	information	you	submit	through	the	Nintendo	DSi	Shop	will	be	
transmitted using SSL encryption. All such encrypted information will be maintained and processed by Nintendo and its trusted third 
party credit card processors on secure computers that are not accessible from the Internet. This encrypted information is subject to the 
section below entitled “Security.”
IP Addresses: Your	Nintendo	DSi	is	automatically	assigned	an	IP	address	by	your	Internet	Service	Provider	when	you	connect	to	
Nintendo WFC. Nintendo WFC automatically creates log files of user activities via Nintendo WFC and may also record the IP address 
and MAC address of users. In general, we only use log files to monitor traffic on our Web sites and to troubleshoot technical problems.  In	the	event	you	do	not	comply	with	the	Nintendo	DSi	End	User	License	Agreement	(EULA)	or	Nintendo	DSi	Code	of	Conduct	when	
using Nintendo WFC we may block your IP address. 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.
Cookies: Certain online Nintendo DSi applications may use cookies, which are small text files that a Web site places on your Nintendo 
DSi.	 These	files	identify	your	Nintendo	DSi	and	record	data	about	your	visit	so	that	when	you	return	to	a	 Web	site,	the	site	recognizes	
your	Nintendo	DSi	and	can	personalize	your	visit.	Cookies	may	be	linked	to	your	transaction	history,	online	game	play	or	other	
information. We may use information collected by cookies, as well as other tools such as log files and 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.
Other: In order to constantly improve the products and services we provide and better meet your needs, we may also use your 
Personal Information as well as anonymous or aggregate information for our marketing purposes, demographic studies, and quality 
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.
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION 
We	do	not	sell	or	rent	any	of	our	customers’ 	Personal	Information	to	third	parties.	We	may,	however,	share	Personal,	aggregate	or	
anonymous	information	with	our	vendors	to	help	us	perform	various	functions	necessary	to	operate	our	business	(for	example,	
completing	downloads	or	purchases,	developing	and	executing	marketing	campaigns,	etc.)	and	with	our	affiliated	companies.	 We	
also may disclose your email address to our partners for the sole purpose of sending you email messages you have requested, or to 
ensure that you do not receive such messages if you have opted out of receiving them. These partners are prohibited from using your 
email address for any other purpose. We may disclose Personal Information in order to comply with legal process, respond to claims 
or inquiries, or protect the rights, property or personal safety of Nintendo, our customers or the public. In addition, information 
about our customers, including Personal Information, may be disclosed as part of any merger, sale, transfer of company assets, or 
acquisition, if permitted by and done in accordance with applicable laws. 
LINKING ACCOUNTS 
You	may	link	your	Nintendo	DSi	Shop	Account	to	your	Club	Nintendo	account	to	receive	personalized	content	and	participate	in	a	
variety of activities, promotions and programs. Once you have linked your Club Nintendo account to your DSi Shop Account, any 
Personal Information you enter on your Club Nintendo account will be linked to your DSi Shop Account.
NINTENDO DSi GAMES
Certain Nintendo DSi games and features give you the opportunity to create a nickname, create a user name and interact with 
other Nintendo DSi users. We strongly encourage you not to use your own name for any nicknames or user names you may create. 
In addition, we strongly encourage you not to share Personal Information about yourself and not to allow your children to share 
Personal Information about themselves with other Nintendo DSi users.
For certain Nintendo DSi applications, including some Nintendo DSi games, your Nintendo DSi Friends may have access to 
information such as whether you have downloaded or are using a particular Nintendo DSi game.
INFORMATION STORED ON YOUR NINTENDO DSi 
Certain sensitive or Personal Information about you may be stored on your Nintendo DSi. For your protection, before selling or 
otherwise transferring your Nintendo DSi, please be sure to clean and securely remove all Personal Information, any content you 
created, and all other stored sensitive information on the Nintendo DSi. For instructions on how to remove this information, please

Personal Information is stored in firewall-protected servers. Nintendo will notify users of a data breach involving unencrypted 
Personal Information by email or by posting a notice on our website. We also work hard to limit access to Personal Information to

A key is a tool which allows for the encryption of data sent between the Nintendo 
DSi and an access point. The access point and the system must be set to the same 
value.	It’s	also	known	as	a	code	key	or	password.
An IP address is a unique set of numbers that identifies computers on a network.
The value that indicates which number of the IP address represents the network 
to which the IP address is attached.
The Gateway IP is the machine on a network that tells other computers on the 
same network where to go to find either other computers on the same network, 
or how to get out of the network to access the Internet.
DNS, or Domain Name Service, is the method of translating the name of a 
website to the IP address of the computer on which that website is contained.

About Entering WPA Keys
•	Characters	entered	on	the	connection	configuration	screen	appear	as	asterisks	(*).
•	
There	are	two	key-entry	methods;	ASCII,	which	uses	both	letters	and	 
numbers, and hexadecimal, which uses numbers 0 through 9, and letters a through f.
•	 The	Nintendo	DSi	system	only	works	with	access	points	using	key-based	encryption.	If	the	access	point 
to which you are trying to connect uses a different encryption method, you will have to change the 
access points encryption method.
•	For	setting	details,	see	the	instruction	booklet	of	the	access	point	you	will	be	using.
•	 You	can	register	up	to	four	keys	on	a	standard	access	point.	 To	connect	your	Nintendo	DSi,	be	sure	to	
use the WEP key being used on the access point side.
	•	 The	number	of	characters	used	by	keys	differs	depending	on	the	method		 	
being used.
  ASCII: 5, 13, or 16
  Hexadecimal: 10, 26 or 32
