Roblox Privacy and Cookie Policy

Please note that our corporate websites (which may include corp.roblox.com, blog.roblox.com, and their subdomains) are general audience websites. On these sites, we may provide information regarding the corporate side of Roblox, press information, career information, and other general audience information. We may also ask for your name, email address, employment details if you send us a CV, resume or other details of your employment history in connection with an advertised job vacancy or a general inquiry regarding employment opportunities with us and other information so that we can provide corporate-related information to you or respond to your job application. We may also ask for your name, email address, company information, and other details in connection with your business to fulfill your request for updates or materials from us. No experiences are available on the corporate websites. As such, the parts of this Privacy Policy that discuss experiences or discuss children are not applicable to the corporate websites.

In addition to account setup on Roblox, we may collect and process Personal Information from you directly if you use the following features and activities (as applicable):

• When you make purchases on the Service. Users can purchase virtual currency or premium subscriptions, for example, in the form of Robux, Premium memberships, etc., and may use a variety of payment methods. When making purchases, users or their parents will be required to enter billing information, which may include name, billing address, credit card or other payment information, and billing email. Our payment processors will process all purchases, and you will be subject to their terms and conditions and privacy policy. Your billing information, transaction details, and purchase history may be retained and used by our payment processors to resolve subsequent billing disputes and inquiries.
• When you post, share, or otherwise transmit comments, messages, or content on Roblox via community features, such as public chat or private chat, forums, group walls, personal posts, portfolios, etc. We may collect these comments, messages, posts, and they may be monitored, filtered and moderated for purposes such as removal of profanity, Personal Information, and other inappropriate content. Where permitted by law, we may use pre-filtered chat, comments and messages for purposes such as training and improving our filter technology to increase the safety on our platform.
• When you use or interact with Roblox for additional features that require the use of your camera or upload of files. If you decide to use these features and upload content, we will collect, process, and store that content only for as long as needed to accomplish the purpose of the feature.
• When you participate in our Roblox Developer Exchange Program. We require you to provide us with an IRS W-9 form (for U.S. taxpayers) or W-8 form (for non-U.S. taxpayers). We may also ask you to verify your identity by providing a government issued photo ID through a third-party vendor. For more information on the Developer Exchange program, please visit our Developer Exchange Terms of Use.
• When you provide us with your phone number. If you choose to provide a phone number for verification, you may receive a verification SMS after sign-up to confirm your ownership of the number, which will allow you to log in via mobile. Your phone number may also be used to recover a lost or forgotten password. Additionally, with your explicit and informed consent, we may use your phone number to recommend you as a friend to others using Roblox. You will be recommended with your contact name as stored on your friends’ devices, which may include also your real name. If you do not want us to use your phone number to be found by your friends on Roblox, please do not activate this feature or deactivate it at any time. Please note that the Discoverability feature may not be available in certain locations.
• When you provide us with your contact book. If you opt-in to the Contact Importer feature, you consent to sharing with Roblox the first and last names and phone numbers of your contacts in your address book on your mobile phone, either at the time you register for our Service or otherwise. We do so to help you connect with your friends on our Service. As part of the Contact Importer feature, we will automatically access and collect information in your address book from time to time in order to sync your contacts. Such information will only be retained in case of matches with existing Roblox users. However, our Contact Importer feature may not be available in certain locations.
• When you join our experiences on a VR platform. If you join our experiences on a VR platform, we will collect your physical movement information in order to replicate your movement in the experience. This information is only used to provide the Service and is not stored.
• When you contact or send communications to us. For example, when you contact customer support, report a problem, or submit questions, concerns, or comments regarding our Service or its content, we may collect contact information such as your email address and other important information about your inquiry or concern. This information is used to respond to your communications, fulfill your requests, or provide other customer support.
• When you use or interact with third-party plug-ins that may be available on the Service for users other than children. This includes third-party social media widgets, share buttons, and/or login mechanisms. These features may include social plugins from Google, Facebook, Twitter or other platforms, and may be subject to the terms and conditions and/or privacy policies of these other companies as posted on their respective websites. When you use these features, certain information from your social media accounts may be accessed by or shared with Roblox, and likewise, certain information about your use of Roblox may be posted to your profile on those platforms.
• When you participate in contests, competitions, sweepstakes, giveaways, prize draws or other promotions that we may run or sponsor on our Service. These promotions may involve the collection and use of certain contact information (such as your name, email address, and/or phone number) for prize fulfillment purposes, as well as other information or content needed for the specific promotion. In some jurisdictions, we are required to publicly share information about the winners.
• When you respond to or participate in voluntary research or surveys or studies. These surveys may collect information about your likes and dislikes, experience interests and habits, general hobbies and interests, and other lifestyle information or preferences. These surveys may ask for Personal Information.
• When you request or agree to voice based services from Roblox. With your consent, we may collect, process and store your voice recording to provide services and to increase the safety of our voice related services. We may use your voice recording for purposes such as training and improving our filter technology to increase the safety on our platform, except that we will not engage in these activities with private server voice chat recordings of EEA users.
• When you subscribe to other features or activities, which may be available to our users other than children. We may offer other features or activities on our Services from time to time, and you may be able to submit or upload Personal Information in connection with such features. The data being collected for such features and their intended uses will be evident at the time of data collection.
• When you browse, navigate, or otherwise interact with the Service. We collect information about your interactions with the Service and connect the information collected with your account to provide you a better user experience. For example, we may collect information from your search history to provide you with similar recommendations. We may also collect information from your device when you visit our websites, as outlined in the “Cookies and Similar Technologies” section below.
• Information processed to enable advertising. To market our services, inter alia, via social media platforms in order to bring new users to our websites and to maintain and increase our user base, we may process Personal Information such as IP addresses, information on users’ browsers or operating systems, including language settings, regional location information and user names or user IDs.

You are under no obligation to provide Personal Information to Roblox when requested. However, if you choose to withhold any requested information, we may not be able to provide you with certain services and features.

In addition to the specific uses above, any information that you provide or that we collect on the Service may be generally used for the following purposes:

• To operate, maintain, and improve the Service;
• To give you access to the Service and related features, or restrict your access;
• To personalize the Service or content on the Service, as well as make it more user-friendly;
• To allow you to manage your Roblox account or account information, update your account settings, and (where applicable) make purchases or subscribe to services;
• To communicate with you about the Service (product changes, feature updates, etc.);
• To provide technical support or customer service;
• To deliver advertising for our Services that may be relevant to your interests;
• To detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent or illegal activity, and prosecute those responsible for that activity;
• To research technological development and demonstration;
• To identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality;
• To audit interactions, transactions, and other compliance activities; and
• To protect the integrity, safety, or security of the Service or our users, comply with legal obligations, or enforce compliance with our Terms of Use, or other restrictions placed on your use of the Service.

Like most websites, we use cookies and other standard internet technologies to help us improve our Service.

Cookies and other identifiers

A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, for example so you don’t have to re-enter them whenever you come back to the website or browse from one page to another.

A cookie can be classified by its lifespan and the domain to which it belongs. By lifespan, a cookie is either a:

• Session cookie which is erased when the user closes the browser; or
• Persistent cookie which remains on the user’s computer/device for a pre-defined period of time.

As for the domain to which it belongs, there are either:

• First-party cookies which are set by the web server of the visited page and share the same domain (in this case roblox.com domain); or
• Third-party cookies stored by a different domain to the visited page’s domain. This can happen when the webpage references a file, such as JavaScript, located outside its domain

Pixel Tags/Web Beacons

A pixel tag (also known as a web beacon) is a piece of code embedded in the Services that collects information about visitors’ engagement on that web page. The use of a pixel allows us to record, for example, that a visitor has visited a particular web page or clicked on a particular advertisement.

How we use cookies

When you visit or access the Service, we may – by means of cookies, beacons, tags, scripts, and/or other similar technologies – automatically collect technical information about the devices and software you use to access the Service, such as the type of Internet browser or mobile device you use, the website or source that linked or referred you to the Service, your IP address or device ID (or other persistent identifier that uniquely identifies your computer or mobile device on the Internet), the operating system of your computer or mobile device, and other similar technical information. These same technologies (or a combination of them) may also be used to help us:

• Capture and store users’ preferences, account settings, and certain login information (for convenience, user verification, and account security);
• Compile statistics and analytics about your use of and interaction with the Service, including details about how and where our Service is downloaded from or accessed, how often a user visits or uses the Service, the date and time of user visits to, and actions on, the Service, which areas of the Service are visited and for how long, information regarding in-game activities, and other similar traffic, usage, and trend data;
• Mobile analytic tools to allow us to better understand the functionality of our mobile software on your device and gain insights about how mobile software is used;
• Gather important functionality, testing, and performance data about our Service, including performance data related to our mobile application, the Roblox Player, and Roblox Studio, such as networking activity, CPU load, and resource usage, among other relevant data;
• Moderate user behavior on the Service, such as protecting against payment fraud and other inappropriate activities;
• Gather demographic information about our user base; and;
• Perform other similar functions.

We will not use cookies or similar technologies other than for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy.

Third party advertising and ad networks

For our users that are children, Roblox partners with third-party advertising companies to serve contextual advertising (i.e., ads that are based on the content of the page the user is looking at rather than personal data about the individual), cap the frequency of advertising, and provide related uses permitted by COPPA. Roblox does not show behaviorally targeted or retargeted ads to children or track such users for the purposes of directing targeted advertising.

Roblox partners with third-party advertisers, ad server companies, and ad networks (“third-party advertising companies”) to promote our Service. If you respond to one of our advertisements and visit or register to use our Service, we or our service providers may provide these third-party advertising companies with identifiers from your device or computer, such as an IP address or device ID, to help us analyze our user acquisition efforts.

NOTE: To disable advertising-related tracking at your request, companies may need to set an opt-out cookie on your browser. Sometimes a browser’s configuration may prevent companies from setting such cookies, for example, if your browser is set to block all third-party cookies by default. Therefore, you may need to change your browser settings to accept cookies, in order to fully disable advertising-related tracking.

Please note that Roblox has not and does not sell Personal Information about you to third-party companies for their independent purposes. Roblox may disclose your information for a business purpose as set forth below.

Service Providers

Roblox may share users’ information, including Personal Information which includes but is not limited to billing information or usernames, with our third-party agents, contractors, or service providers who are hired to perform services on Roblox’s behalf. These providers may operate or support certain functions of the Service. Below is an illustrative list of functions for which we may use third-party service providers, and the names of the providers we may use to perform these functions:

1. Account Integrity and Security (e.g., Veriff, Arkose Labs);
2. Analytics services (e.g., Google LLC);
3. User Acquisition services (e.g., AppsFlyer);
4. Community filtering and moderation services (e.g., CommunitySift);
5. Customer support services (e.g., Zendesk);
6. Surveys and promotions (e.g., Reach3);
7. Social Media Log-in (e.g., SAP Customer Data Cloud);
8. Billing services and payment gateway providers (e.g., Kount, Worldpay, PayPal, Incomm, Blackhawk, Google, Apple, Amazon, Windows Store, Xbox, Xsolla); and
9. Hosting and content delivery network services (e.g., AWS, Equinix, CenturyLink, YouTube, Vimeo).

These third party service providers are only allowed to use the Personal Information shared with them for the specific tasks they’ve been hired to do and consistent with this Privacy Policy, and for no other purposes. They are not permitted to sell the Personal Information shared with them. Roblox takes steps to ensure that all service providers with access to Personal Information are capable of protecting the information we share with them. Personal Information collected through the SMS program, won’t be shared, sold or rented to third parties.

Public forums and community areas

We offer users the ability to use forums and similar means of public discussion. If you use any messaging, posting, or chat functions on Roblox, you should be aware that any Personal Information submitted there will be available to anyone who has access to that content, including other users. This information can be read, collected, or used by other users of these forums, and it could be used to send unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for how other individuals use the information posted in this manner.

Creators

The creators of the experiences you access will be provided your username, display name, game metrics, user ID, and the regional location you are based in. We offer creators a tool that allows them to review the regional location of origin of players to enable them to determine their player base, so they can adjust their experiences to the legal requirements of the respective regional location. For this purpose, we will determine the user’s regional location of access to the Roblox website based on the IP address. We will not share your IP address with the creators.

Legal disclosures

We may disclose Personal Information about you as required or permitted by law and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Service. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we also may disclose Personal Information about you in response to a request from law enforcement agencies, regulators, or other public agencies (including schools or children services), or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure may prevent a crime, facilitate an investigation related to public safety or protect the safety of a child using our Service, protect the security or integrity of our Service, or enable us to take precautions against liability or to protect our rights.

Business transfers

Information about our users, including Personal Information, may be disclosed and otherwise transferred to an acquirer, successor, or assignee as part of any merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or similar transaction, or in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which information is transferred to one or more third parties as one of our business assets. Where required by applicable law, you will be informed of such disclosure and your consent obtained.

De-identified information

We share aggregated, automatically-collected, or otherwise de-identified information with third parties for various purposes, including (i) compliance with reporting obligations; (ii) for business or marketing purposes; (iii) to assist us and other parties in understanding our users' interests, habits and usage patterns for certain programs, content, services, advertisements, promotions and/or functionality available through the Services.

Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us. We have security measures in place to attempt to protect the personal or other sensitive information submitted to us against the loss, misuse and alteration of Personal Information under our control. While we cannot ensure or guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of information will never occur, we use reasonable efforts to prevent it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we do not accept liability for unintentional disclosure.

When using the Services or providing Personal Information to us, we may communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of the Services. If we learn of an incident that may qualify as a breach under applicable law, we will notify you consistent with applicable laws.

Retention

Roblox may retain users’ account data internally for the following purposes:

• Billing information and transaction histories are retained to resolve subsequent billing disputes and inquiries;
• Publicly shared content and virtual items are retained for use by the community (e.g., a user-created virtual shirt sold to another user is kept in the system because the recipient now “owns” a copy of that item);
• User account history is retained to support subsequent customer service inquiries and to provide, improve and develop the Service;
• To promote safety and security on the Service; and
• To resolve disputes, establish legal defenses, conduct audits, pursue legitimate business purposes, enforce our agreements, and comply with our legal obligations.

We may retain your information for as long as is necessary for the purposes identified above, which may include retaining your information beyond the end of your use of the Service.

Our Service may, from time to time, contain links to external sites or applications. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or the content of such sites or applications. To make clear when you are linking to a third-party site or application, we may display a warning message informing you when you are leaving our Service.

Children are entitled to added protections with regard to their Personal Information and privacy online. For this reason, when children register for the Service, their account is automatically set to a more restrictive mode. This means that child users will not have access to certain features, such as social media plug-ins, some forms of third-party advertising, and certain types of notification alerts.

When a child creates an account on Roblox, we may collect a username, password, birthdate, and parent’s email address. This information is used to give the child access to the Service (with certain default settings) and, if a parent’s email is provided, to communicate with the parent about the child’s account. For example, we may use the parent’s email to send an email notification about the child’s account creation and an invitation for the parent to review, update settings, and approve of their child’s account. We will use the birthdate the child provides when signing up for the Service to determine which features on Roblox the child should have access to, and to determine when the child will be given broader access to features on our Service. In general, we will not use or share account information (including Personal Information) from your child’s account, except as permitted under the applicable laws.

We may share aggregated or otherwise de-identified information of a child (which is information that cannot be used to identify such child) with third parties for various purposes such as: (i) compliance with reporting obligations; (ii) business or marketing purposes; or (iii) to assist us and other parties in understanding our users' interests, habits and usage patterns for certain programs, content, services, advertisements, promotions and/or functionality available through the Services.

To make any requests for changes to your child’s account or requests for the removal of Personal Information collected about you or your child from our Service (as applicable), or to request that we stop the further collection or use of your or your child’s Personal Information in connection with the Service (as applicable), please complete the Customer Support Form.

We offer all accounts, including children’s accounts, the ability to modify chat/communication settings (for example, limiting interaction to just friends or no one), as well as a special “Restricted Account Mode” which turns off all forms of chat and public commenting and which allows the user to access only a selection of filtered experiences on Roblox. We recommend that parents familiarize themselves with all of the safety features and parental controls available in the Settings area of the Service (a description of which can be found here) and to accompany their children when they are playing online.

We proactively filter all public and comment areas of the Service (such as chat, forums, group walls, personal posts, etc.) to remove references to addresses, emails, phone numbers, or other Personal Information regardless of security and privacy settings. All text is also filtered for profanity, phishing, and adult or suggestive content. Our system uses a combination of human and automated processes. However, like all filtering technology, our systems are not 100% effective.

If you are a child, it is a good idea to talk to and ask your parent(s) or guardian(s) for permission before using or playing on the Service. If you do not get such permission, you should not use our Service.

If we become aware that a child has provided us with Personal Information, we will delete any Personal Information we have collected, unless we have a legal obligation to keep it, and terminate the child’s account and/or revert them to the underage experience, as applicable.

If Personal Information about you changes, or if you no longer desire to use our Service, you may correct, update, amend, or deactivate your account under your account settings or by contacting Roblox using the Personal Information set out above in Sec. 1. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe. For children under the age of 13, please see the “Children’s Privacy and Parental Controls” section above. See Sections 13, 14 and 15 for additional rights available to California, UK, Swiss and European Economic Area, and Brazil residents.

Roblox is based in the U.S. The Personal Information we collect from you is sent to and stored on secure servers located in the United States of America. Such storage is necessary in order to process the information.

Roblox operates globally and we may transfer the Personal Information that we collect from you to our other offices and/or to the third parties mentioned in the circumstances described above (see “Information Sharing”), which may be situated outside of your regional location or regional area, and may be processed by staff operating outside your regional location or regional area. In particular, information provided to us or collected by us will likely be transferred to and processed in the United States by us or our agents and contractors. The data protection laws of the United States or other countries may not be as comprehensive or equivalent to those in your regional location of residence. Wherever we transfer your Personal Information, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected.

In accordance with applicable law, you may have the following rights:

• Access to/Portability of Personal Information. You can receive a copy of categories of Personal Information and specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected, used, disclosed, sold, or shared about you in the past 12 months, consistent with legal requirements. Residents also have the right to request the categories of Personal Information disclosed for a business purpose, the categories of sources from which their personal information was collected, our business or commercial purposes for collecting their personal information, and the categories of third parties to whom we disclosed their personal information. In addition, you may have the right in some cases to receive or have your electronic Personal Information in a portable format or transferred to another party.
• Correction. You can request correction of your Personal Information where it is inaccurate or incomplete. In some cases, we may provide self-service tools that enable you to update your Personal Information or we may refer you to the controller of your Personal Information who is able to make the correction.
• Deletion. You can request we delete Personal Information we collect from you, subject to certain exceptions prescribed by law.
• Restriction of or Objection to processing. You can request restriction or object to the processing of your Personal Information, and you have the right to opt in or opt out of the sale or sharing of your Personal Information to third parties, if applicable, where such requests are permitted by law. Please note that, in the case of California residents, we do not currently sell or share personal information, as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act. For that reason, we do not currently offer a mechanism for California residents to opt out of the sale or sharing of Personal Information. We have no actual knowledge of selling or sharing the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.
• Non-discrimination. You have the right to not receive discriminatory treatment by exercising your privacy rights. We do not discriminate against California residents who exercise their privacy rights.

Please note that some of these rights can be exercised by updating your account within the Services, or you can contact us as set forth in Section 1 above for other requests. We will process such requests in accordance with applicable laws. To protect your privacy, we will take steps to verify your identity before fulfilling your request so that we can ensure you are the owner of the account making the request.

Our California resident consumer request metrics for the previous year can be found here.

For additional information related to your rights under California law, including information related to California retention periods, how you can exercise your rights, and more, please visit our full Roblox CPRA Privacy Policy.

   Personal data of children

   Please note that when users under the age of 13 register for the Service, their account is automatically set to “Privacy Mode.” This means that these users will not have access to certain features, such as social media plug-ins, some forms of third party advertising, and certain types of notification alerts.

   When a child creates an account on Roblox, we may process a username, password, birthdate and parent email address. We process this information to give the user access to the Service and to communicate with the parent about the minor’s account (if a parent email was provided). For example, we may use the parent’s email to send an email notification about the child’s account creation and an invitation for the parent to review, update settings, and approve of their child's account. We may use the birthdate the child provides when signing up for the Service to determine which features on Roblox the child should have access to and to determine when the child will turn 13 years old and can be given broader access to features on our Service. This processing activity is based on Article 6 sec. 1 sent. 1 lit. b GDPR (“performance of a contract”). In general, we will not use or share account information (including Personal Information) from a minor’s account except for the permissible purposes stated in this Privacy Policy, and, if required by law, only with the prior verifiable consent of a parent or legal guardian (Article 6 sec. 1 sent. 1 lit. a and Article 8 sec. 1 GDPR).

   Data sharing

   Roblox may share users’ information, including Personal Information like billing information or usernames, with our third-party agents, contractors, or service providers who are hired to perform services on Roblox’s behalf.

   • Account Integrity and Security (e.g., Veriff, Arkose Labs);
   • Analytics services (e.g., Google LLC);
   • User Acquisition services (e.g., AppsFlyer);
   • Community filtering and moderation services (e.g., CommunitySift);

These agents and contractors are only allowed to use the information shared with them only for the specific tasks they’ve been hired to do and consistent with this Privacy Policy, and for no other purposes.
