The latest 11.0 update means that Google Analytics is a thing on the switch and turned on. What that means is that Nintendo has a deal with Google to share with them your data for advertisement purposes.
To turn it off
- go to the eShop
- go to your profile where your funds and account info is
- go down to the bottom of the page
- there you will see “Google Analytics Preferences”
- select the Change
- select “Don’t Share”
Please spread the word. Really shitty of Nintendo to just quietly start allowing Google to spy on users for advertising.
I’ve seen this post going around and went “Ah it’s from 2020, I remember I already turned that off.”
Then I turned my switch on this afternoon for the first time in a while and it had an update. And I thought hm. Maybe. I had better just check on that again.
And you’ll never guess what I had to turn off again.
PSA for Switch owners
