This provision clarifies the operational scope of public content visibility and establishes the entity's limited liability for user-elected disclosure decisions. It distinguishes between content users place in public versus private settings, defining the platform's responsibility framework for publicly shared information.
The updated policy restricts personalized advertising based on age. Users under 18 will see only nonpersonalized ads on the platform, while users 18 and older may see personalized ads if they provide consent where required. The revised language also removes the previous statement that the platform collects personal information from under-13 accounts for advertising purposes, clarifying that such data is not used for marketing. Users 18 or older can control whether they see personalized ads through Roblox account settings.
View change record →The updated policy adds explicit language disclosing that Roblox collects persistent identifiers (IP addresses and unique device identifiers) from all users, including children, for purposes including account authentication, ad frequency capping, network communications, and security. The policy states Roblox implements technical, contractual, and other measures to ensure these identifiers are not used for purposes outside the listed scope. This represents a clarification and formalization of practices rather than a change to what data is collected, but it does establish contractual limits on how that data may be used. You can review the full updated Privacy Policy to understand which persistent identifiers are collected and the specific operational purposes for which they are retained.
View change record →The updated policy clarifies that parent email addresses constitute the only personal information collected from child accounts under COPPA, rather than listing persistent identifiers. The policy now states that personalized ads are not enabled until age 18, rather than leaving this ambiguous when a child turns 13. These clarifications affect how parents and children understand what data Roblox collects and when advertising becomes personalized; however, the underlying data practices do not appear to have changed operationally. The policy removed detailed descriptions of collection purposes (such as internal operations), which means parents now have less granular explanation of data uses, though stated practices remain.
View change record →Users who make content or profile information public through the platform's designated public spaces authorize that content to be viewable by other platform users and subject to search engine indexing. The terms allocate responsibility for public disclosure decisions to the user rather than the platform operator.
