Nintendo warns Switch 2 GameChat users: "Your chat is recorded"

a year ago

Nintendo updated its privacy policy to monitor and record video and audio interactions in GameChat on Switch 2.
GameChat recordings are stored temporarily and shared with Nintendo only if a user reports a violation.
Users can review the last three minutes of the latest three GameChat sessions when submitting a report within 24 hours.
Nintendo may disclose reported chat content to third parties like authorities or lawyers.
GameChat is limited to manually added friends, and users must verify a phone number matching their Nintendo account.
Parents must approve GameChat for minors via the Nintendo Parental Controls app, including friend requests and video chat permissions.
Recordings are locally stored unless reported, minimizing privacy intrusion for most users.
Users can withdraw consent for GameChat, but prior recordings may still be reviewed if reported by others.
