Switch 2 camera owners may be concerned about Nintendo's privacy policy update

A new privacy policy update gives Nintendo permission to "monitor reported audio and video recordings of your chat sessions with other users"

The Japanese company also said it would "monitor reported audio and video recordings of your chat sessions with other users to provide a safe and family-friendly environment for GameChat". If you give your consent and use certain functions of the Nintendo Account Service, communication content, such as video and voice chats, may be recorded and stored on your User Device for a limited period of time (see section 2.4). If you encounter any language or behaviour that may violate applicable laws, the Nintendo Account Agreement or NOE’s Community Guidelines, you may review the last 3 minutes of the relevant recorded communication content on your User Device and report it to NCL.
