So today Roblox sent a message (who even looks at those nowadays???) requesting me to remove DataStore from the user ID: 765037928 (which I can’t find with Rolimons nor with Bloxlink). So, how am I supposed to delete that user’s data if I can’t even find information from the UserID??
Also, what would happen to my account if I’m not able to fulfill Roblox’s request?
A “Right to Erasure” request happens when a user wants their account and any information about their account completely deleted from Roblox. This both includes things on Roblox’s end, like removing their profile data and stuff like that (which is why you aren’t able to find information about them on Rolimons or Bloxlink, since their information has been deleted). But it also includes any games they’ve played that has saved data about them. This request is specifically about this game made by you. If you have any datastores that save data using UserIds you can simply just write game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore(DATASTORENAME):RemoveAsync(USERID) in the console in Studio to remove their data from the game.
Just here to tell you that nothing will happen to your account if you dont do anything about it, nothing will happen to your game, so if you wanted to, you could ignore it (not saying you should, just saying you can)
You might be confused on what it exactly means with all those replies but i will try to explain it to you. A right to erasure request occours if someone who played Roblox before contacted Robloxs Privacy team to delete their data. If the request is successful, roblox will terminate the Roblox Account and contact the developers of all previous games they played
Roblox can’t tell if you have any data stored of the specific user in datastores or somewhere else so they will send you this message. Keep in mind you are legally required to comply as this is a request under law
If theres no data or records of the User ID, no action is required
So, every game that said user has ever played is going to get this message? Seems like this would create a lot of message spam, especially if thousands or more of players decide to do this.
Yeah it seems like it can be really annoying
But roblox doesnt really know how your game works, so ig sending that message out no matter what can help get the outta legal issues.
