Roblox updated its Privacy and Cookie Policy on April 29, 2026, adding a summary of recent changes effective April 30, 2026. The update clarifies who can see personalized versus non-personalized ads on the platform and describes how Roblox shares information with authorities. These additions make the policy more transparent about advertising practices and law enforcement data sharing.
Roblox has added clarifications about who receives personalized ads versus non-personalized ads on its platform, which is particularly relevant for parents of younger users who may have different ad experiences. The policy now also explicitly describes when and how Roblox shares user information with law enforcement or other authorities. You can review your or your child's account privacy and ad settings in the Roblox platform to understand and manage your advertising preferences.
Roblox now tells you more clearly whether you are being shown ads based on your personal data or generic ads not tied to your profile.
Roblox now explicitly states when and how it may hand over your information to law enforcement or other government agencies.
The new authority-sharing disclosure and ad targeting clarification give users — especially parents of minors on Roblox — clearer information about how their data is used for advertising and when it may be handed to law enforcement. These are areas of heightened regulatory scrutiny given Roblox's large under-18 user base.

Roblox amended its Privacy and Cookie Policy on April 29, 2026 (effective April 30, 2026) to add: (1) clarification on personalized vs. non-personalized ad targeting, and (2) explicit disclosure of information-sharing practices with authorities. Both changes touch transparency obligations under GDPR Art. 13-14, COPPA (given Roblox's significant minor user base), and CCPA/CPRA notice requirements. Compliance teams with Roblox in their vendor stack should note the authority-sharing disclosure as it may affect DPA language and internal privacy notices. Low-urgency review recommended before April 30, 2026.
1. COPPA (15 U.S.C. §§ 6501-6506; 16 C.F.R. Part 312) — Roblox's substantial minor user base makes any ad-targeting clarification and authority-sharing disclosure directly relevant to COPPA notice and parental consent requirements, particularly 16 C.F.R. §31
