Why it matters

Enabling this feature could expose your real name to other Roblox users even if you use a pseudonymous username, which has particular safety implications for younger users.

Consumer impact

Roblox collects a broad range of personal data including usage behavior, device information, location data, chat content, and billing details, and shares this with advertising partners, analytics providers, and third-party developers. User-generated content including chat and audio may be used to train AI/ML systems. You can submit a data deletion or access request via Roblox's Customer Support Form at https://www.roblox.com/support or by emailing privacy@roblox.com.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Go to your Roblox account settings and navigate to the Privacy section. Locate the 'Discoverability' or phone number feature and deactivate it to prevent your phone number from being used to recommend you to others.

Applicable agencies

  • Federal Trade Commission (ftc)
    Oversees unfair or deceptive business practices and can investigate companies that mislead consumers about data collection, sharing, or use.
    Who can file: Anyone affected by the company's practices (US or international)
    What you need: Your account details, a timeline of relevant events, and a description of the specific issue
    What to expect: Complaints inform FTC enforcement priorities and investigations but do not result in individual resolution or compensation
