Roblox updated their Privacy and Cookie Policy on April 16, 2026, with the new version taking effect April 30, 2026. The update adds clarification about who can see personalized versus non-personalized ads on the platform, and describes how Roblox shares user information with authorities. These changes matter because they affect how your data is used for advertising and potentially disclosed to law enforcement.
Roblox has added language clarifying which users see personalized ads versus non-personalized ads, which affects how your data is used for advertising on the platform. The update also now explicitly describes Roblox's practices for sharing your information with government authorities or law enforcement. You can review the updated full Privacy Policy PDF (effective April 30, 2026) on Roblox's support site to understand how these practices apply to your account.
Roblox now tells you whether you will see ads tailored to your behavior or generic ads, which depends on your account type or age.
Roblox now openly states when and how it hands over your data to police or government agencies, which was not clearly spelled out before.
The addition of authority data-sharing language means users — especially minors — now have explicit notice that Roblox may provide their data to law enforcement, a practice that was previously undisclosed in the policy. The ad targeting clarification directly affects how user data is used commercially, which is particularly significant given Roblox's large younger user base.
New language clarifies which users see personalized versus non-personalized ads, affecting ad targeting transparency for all users including minors.
New language explicitly describes Roblox's practices for sharing user information with government and law enforcement authorities, a disclosure previously absent from the policy.
Effective date advanced from October 7, 2025 to April 30, 2026, and updated policy PDFs have been published in all supported languages.

Roblox updated its Privacy and Cookie Policy effective April 30, 2026, adding two material disclosures: (1) clarification of personalized vs. non-personalized ad targeting eligibility, and (2) explicit description of data-sharing practices with authorities. This touches COPPA compliance (given Roblox's significant minor user base), GDPR Art. 13 transparency obligations, and CCPA §1798.100 disclosure requirements. Organizations deploying Roblox in any youth-facing or enterprise context should review whether their own privacy notices and vendor assessments need updating. Action is advisable before April 30, 2026.
1. COPPA (16 C.F.R. Part 312) — Changes to ad targeting disclosures for a platform with significant under-13 user base trigger COPPA notice and consent review; personalized advertising to children requires verifiable parental consent.
