If you choose to submit content to any public area of the Intra-Roblox Sites, such content will be considered “public” and will not be subject to the privacy protections set forth herein.

Use of Roblox Information Technology Systems and Networks. Roblox may collect certain information automatically through the course of your employment, such as your Internet protocol (IP) address, inferred location based on your IP address or activities, device identifiers associated with your computer or device, mobile carrier and related information, activity logs, and other information about activities you engage in on Roblox property, equipment, accounts, systems and networks. Roblox may monitor and review employees’ uses of Roblox equipment, accounts, information technology systems and networks, including its phone networks, computer networks, including those used to access the Internet, videoconferencing systems and other company-provided electronic communications tools.

All information collected from your participation in our surveys is provided by you voluntarily. We may use such information consistent with this Privacy Notice.

Contests. Occasionally, Roblox may run contests. We ask those who participate to provide information relevant to the contest.

Information from Other Sources. We may collect or receive information about you from other sources, including through third party services and organizations to supplement information provided by you. For example, where permitted by law, we may conduct background checks on you prior to your employment with Roblox. This supplemental information allows us to verify information that you have provided to Roblox.
