Summary

Roblox's Privacy and Cookie Policy explains what personal information Roblox collects about you, how it uses and shares that information, and what rights you have over it. If you are under 13, Roblox automatically applies stronger privacy settings and disables personalized advertising; no one under 18 receives personalized ads. If you use voice or audio features, Roblox records and stores that audio, including to train and improve its products.

Analysis

This document establishes Roblox's data collection, use, sharing, and retention practices across its platform. Roblox collects persistent identifiers, sign-up information, and audio captured through device microphones when users engage audio features, using that data for operational, safety, and product-training purposes. Personal Information may be shared with third-party advertising and ad-measurement companies, though third-party service providers are restricted to using shared data only for the specific tasks assigned and are prohibited from selling it. The document grants EEA data subjects access and portability rights, imposes firm age-based advertising restrictions — nonpersonalized ads only for users under 18 and automatic enhanced privacy settings for users under 13 — and commits that Roblox does not use Personal Information for automated decision-making producing legal or similarly significant effects. Children's account data is subject to a general restriction on use and sharing, with verifiable parental consent required where law mandates it.

What this means for you

Roblox collects your sign-up information and persistent identifiers for ongoing operational use, and if you use audio features, it records, stores, and may use that audio for product training. Personalized advertising is blocked entirely for users under 18, and users under 13 have enhanced privacy settings applied automatically with no opt-in available. If you are in the EEA, you can contact Roblox to request access to or copies of your Personal Information, including the purposes for which it is held. Parents can request that Roblox change, review, delete, or stop further collection of their child's Personal Information by contacting Roblox directly.

11 important changes detected

16 versions captured · Last updated: August 2026

What changed Roblox updated a conflict-resolution clause in its privacy policy to redirect ambiguity resolution from Section 8 to Section 7. The previous language specified that location-specific information in Section 8 would prevail in conflicts with Sections 1-5; the updated language now specifies Section 7. This change affects how Roblox interprets its own policy when different sections contain conflicting provisions regarding data handling or user rights.
Why this matters The updated policy clarifies how Roblox resolves conflicts when different sections of its privacy terms contain different rules. Previously, Section 8 location-specific provisions prevailed; the updated terms now specify Section 7 as the controlling section. This is a technical clarification that does not materially expand or restrict what information Roblox collects or how it uses user data.
