Educating Your Children on Privacy Concerns Regarding Nintendo 3DS Family
It is important for all parents to educate their children on the dangers of sharing personal information about themselves with strangers when using any online device, including Nintendo systems.
We suggest that you talk with your children about online safety and make sure they know not to use personally identifiable information such as their name, age, e-mail address, home address, phone number or birth date when creating their profile, their user name, or for any other services offered through the Nintendo 3DS.
Nintendo 3DS family systems come with optional Parental Controls to help parents take steps to protect their children on the system. The parental controls give parents the ability to decide what information their children can share with other people. For example, you can choose to enable Parental Controls to block some of the features, such as the ability to exchange photos with other systems. Whether or not you choose to enable Parental Controls, we highly recommend that you speak with your children about protecting their privacy on the system.
