What it is

The policy establishes that users under 18 receive only non-personalized advertisements, while users 18 and older may receive personalized advertisements, with consent required where applicable law mandates it. Users 18 and older can manage personalized ad preferences through account settings.

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes a platform-wide age gate for personalized advertising set at 18 rather than the COPPA threshold of 13, which represents a more restrictive advertising policy for the 13-17 age cohort and may interact with GDPR consent requirements for users in the EEA who are minors under applicable national law.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

This clause establishes that users under 18 on Roblox will not receive personalized advertisements regardless of COPPA or GDPR minimum age thresholds, and that users 18 and older can control personalized ad delivery through Roblox account settings. Where consent is required by applicable law, the policy states consent will be obtained before personalized ads are served.

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.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
