Roblox updated its Privacy and Cookie Policy effective April 30, 2026, adding three substantive sections: clarification of who sees personalized versus non-personalized ads, disclosure of practices for sharing information with authorities, and a summary of recent changes. The policy effective date moved from October 7, 2025 to April 30, 2026. Roblox also announced concurrent updates to its Terms of Use, Gift Cards and Credits terms, and Subscription terms.
The updated policy adds explicit language describing how Roblox determines who sees personalized ads versus non-personalized ads on the platform. It also discloses practices for sharing user information with authorities. These additions provide more transparency about ad targeting and law enforcement data requests, but the change itself does not alter what data Roblox collects or how it may be used beyond clarifying existing practices.
The updated policy establishes clearer disclosure of how Roblox personalizes ad delivery and handles law enforcement requests. These clarifications affect transparency but do not materially expand Roblox's data collection or processing authority beyond what was previously permitted.

This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
Roblox added transparency disclosures to its Privacy Policy without materially expanding data collection or processing authority. The clarifications address ad personalization mechanics and authority disclosure procedures, both of which may touch COPPA compliance (for child users) and general privacy notice requirements under GDPR, CCPA, and similar frameworks. No new processing legal basis or consumer rights mechanism appears to have been added or removed. Organizations using Roblox should verify that their own privacy notices and DPA documentation reflect these clarifications if they are data processors or joint controllers.
