5.1.2 StreetPass and Local Communication-Related Parental Controls
There are a number of Parental Controls related to StreetPass and local communication, each of which restricts specific application features. Each restricts a specific feature available to applications, so take care to restrict the correct features, while avoiding restricting those that should not be restricted.
- StreetPass
This Parental Controls item prevents StreetPass communication from occurring. For details, see section 5.3.6 Complying With Parental Controls When Using StreetPass.
- Sharing Images / Audio / Video / Long Text Data
This Parental Controls item restricts the sending and receiving of data that might contain personal information, such as photographs, other images, audio, video, or text. See volume 7 UGC for details.
Note that this only restricts the sending and receiving of data that might contain personal information, and as such, this does not restrict the sending and receiving of any data not created by the user. For example, this does not restrict the sending and receiving of screenshots taken by an application.
