"We added language describing our practices for sharing information with authorities.Excerpt from Roblox's Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Government data request practices implicate GDPR Article 6(1)(c) (legal obligation) and Article 6(1)(f) (legitimate interests) as lawful bases for processing; ECPA in the US governs law enforcement access to electronic communications; and CCPA and other US state privacy laws require disclosure of categories of third parties with whom personal information is shared including governmental entities. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The addition of explicit authority-sharing language in the 2026 update suggests a disclosure-level change rather than a practice change, but compliance teams should verify that the disclosed practices align with the company's actual law enforcement response procedures and any applicable transparency reporting. JURISDICTION FLAGS: GDPR requires that data sharing with authorities be limited to what is necessary and proportionate; EEA and UK users have rights to challenge unlawful government data requests in some circumstances. US users in states with strong privacy laws may have disclosure rights regarding government data sharing. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: If law enforcement requests may result in production of data held by third-party service providers, vendor agreements should address notification obligations and response procedures. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should evaluate whether the authority-sharing language accurately reflects current law enforcement response procedures, whether user notice is provided where legally required, whether a transparency report or law enforcement guidelines document is maintained, and whether the disclosure is consistent across all regional policy addenda.
