Change Summary
Roblox updated its Privacy and Cookie Policy effective April 23, 2026 to add detailed language about how it collects and uses persistent identifiers (IP addresses and device identifiers) from all users, including children, for internal operations such as authentication, ad frequency capping, security, and legal compliance. The policy previously included a summary of changes section describing updates to ad personalization and authority-sharing practices; this summary was removed and replaced with specific disclosures about persistent identifier collection and the role of service providers. The operational change clarifies what data Roblox collects from minors and establishes technical and contractual measures limiting persistent identifier use to the listed internal purposes.

58Roblox implements technical, contractual, and other measures to ensure that persistent identifiers are not used for purposes other than those listed above.
59Service providers Roblox relies on service providers to support the internal operations described above.
60In some cases, these entities may process persistent identifiers from users under the age of 13.
61Service providers’ processing of persistent identifiers to support these internal operations is subject to contractual requirements and other measures to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of the information.
64Data retention Roblox maintains a retention policy designed to limit data retention to what is reasonably necessary to fulfill the specific purposes for which we collected your information and to prevent persistent identifiers from being retained indefinitely.
65In addition to a retention policy, Roblox employs measures including access controls, purpose-based tagging, employee training, and data segregation to manage the data we process.
66Roblox may retain the persistent identifiers that we collect from you for different periods of time based on our specific business needs, which include: Providing the Roblox Services, including account maintenance and security Roblox processes persistent identifiers about users to provide its services.

69For safety and security purposes (e.g., bot prevention), Roblox may process persistent identifiers for up to two years after account deletion.
70Age Assurance To assess user ages, Roblox may collect information about you, including images such as a selfie, to perform age assurance.
