Summary

Roblox collects information about you including audio from your device when you use audio features, and may share some of your information with advertising companies — though no personalized ads are directed at anyone under 18. If you are under 13, Roblox automatically applies stronger privacy protections and restricts certain features. Roblox's platform does not honor Do Not Track signals from your browser.

Analysis

This privacy policy establishes Roblox's data collection, usage, sharing, and restriction practices for users of its platform. Roblox collects persistent identifiers, sign-up information, and device audio captured during audio feature use, retaining and using audio for purposes including safety and training. The policy restricts personalized advertising to users 18 and older and categorically prohibits disclosure of users' Personal Information for personalized advertising purposes for those under 18, with automatic stronger privacy settings and feature restrictions applied to accounts belonging to users under 13. Third-party agents receiving shared information are contractually limited to the specific contracted task and prohibited from selling Personal Information, while Roblox expressly states its Services do not respond to Do Not Track signals and may disclose Personal Information to courts or law enforcement as permitted or required by law.

What this means for you

Using Roblox's audio features means Roblox will monitor, collect, use, and store audio captured through your device, including for safety and training purposes. Users under 18 will not receive personalized advertising, and users under 13 automatically receive stronger privacy settings and restricted access to certain features with no action required. Roblox does not respond to Do Not Track signals, so that browser-level control has no effect on Roblox's data practices. Roblox may share your Personal Information with courts or law enforcement when legally permitted or required, without your consent.

What changed On June 24, 2026, Roblox updated its Privacy Policy to add a new language translation option. The policy documents list now includes a Malayalam-language version (ML - Roblox സ്വകാര്യതാ കുക്കി നയം) and a Kannada-language version (KN - Roblox ಗೌಪ್ಯತೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕುಕೀ ನೀತಿ) of the privacy policy, both dated April 30, 2026. This expands the geographic and linguistic accessibility of Roblox's privacy disclosures but does not modify the substantive terms of the policy itself.

Why this matters This change adds Malayalam and Kannada language translations of Roblox's Privacy Policy. The substantive terms of the policy remain unchanged from the April 30, 2026 version. Users who speak these languages now have access to privacy disclosures in their preferred language, but the rights, obligations, and data practices disclosed remain the same.

What changed On May 15, 2026, Roblox updated the structure and presentation of its Privacy and Cookie Policy. The company removed the previous header format stating the policy was effective April 30, 2026, and replaced it with a new welcome message and table of contents listing specific data collection, sharing, and rights topics. The functional privacy protections and disclosures remain substantively unchanged; this change is organizational and structural rather than substantive to the underlying privacy terms.

Why this matters This change is a structural reorganization of Roblox's Privacy and Cookie Policy documentation rather than a modification of underlying privacy rights or data practices. The updated format introduces a welcome statement and a detailed table of contents organizing topics such as data collection, sharing practices, security measures, and user rights by geographic region. The substantive privacy terms and obligations described in the policy remain functionally unchanged.
