Roblox Ads and Data Settings: What Parents Can Turn Off

Ads and data collection aren’t the first safety risk most parents think of on Roblox, but they’re worth a few minutes, especially once an account is set up as a teen rather than a young child.

What’s Already Different for Accounts Under 13

Accounts registered as under 13 aren’t shown personalized or targeted advertising the way older accounts can be. This is tied directly to the birthdate entered on the account, which is one more reason an accurate birthdate matters well beyond just unlocking age-appropriate content.

What You Can Still Turn Off for Teens

• ✓Ad personalization, so ads shown rely less on tracked activity and interests.
• ✓Data sharing or sale opt-outs, where offered, which limit how account data is used outside of running the platform itself.

These live in the account’s own privacy or ad-settings area, a different menu than the contact and chat privacy settings most parental-control guides focus on, so it’s easy to set up chat restrictions and never notice this section exists.

Why It’s Worth the Few Minutes

Turning these off won’t make Roblox ad-free or stop all data use, the platform still relies on some of both to run. But reducing personalized profiling and opting out of data sharing where it’s offered is a low-effort way to limit how much is built around your child’s activity, without affecting how the game itself plays.

How to Find These Settings

• ✓Log into the account directly, or access it through your linked parent dashboard for a younger child’s account.
• ✓Look for an Ads or Data section inside account settings, separate from the privacy settings that control chat and contact.
• ✓Toggle personalization and any data-sharing option off.
• ✓Repeat for each child’s account individually, since these settings don’t carry over between siblings.
