Do i have to remove the players data from my games? I get too many of these messages from Roblox.

You’ll receive this message usually because is when a player once played your game either (most of the time) gets terminated off roblox (account deleted).
You can do said action in the messages, but it’s up to you whether you wanna do it or not. Nothing will actually happen to you or your game if you do nothing. It’s not that you shouldn’t do it though.
Roblox’s guidelines for handling right to erasure requests require developers to delete any personal data associated with a user who has requested it. This includes removing data from data stores and other records. Developers should act promptly to comply with these requests, as failure to do so may lead to consequences. For more detailed information, refer to Roblox’s Creator Hub.
I believe you are required under law to comply (Unless theres no data of the specific user ID). You can also automate right to erasure requests like shown from the post above
More information is on these messages you shown in the screenshot. I recommend checking the search tool next time as this is a very common question!
No, you are not required to remove data. Roblox sends that message if someone’s Roblox account has been deactivated and or terminated. By law though Roblox has to send that message to the developer. You also won’t be actioned against.
You should.
Also, this is just one player most likely. They spam it a lot. I reported a bug about it and got ignored.
Under GDPR laws you are required to remove the data Roblox requests. They wouldn’t contact you if you didn’t have to.
You are By Law required to remove it, but ROBLOX isn’t the law and does not have to action against anyone who doesn’t take action against those requests.
By Law would mean that if the request wasn’t complied too by the Developer and or person of interest, they would be reported to the authorities and dealt with at a later time for failure to comply with general data protection regulations.
ROBLOX is contacting you because they are required to by relevant business practices and business law, they need to do it or they will surface legal action in a result of a class action lawsuit or heavy fines which can operationally shutdown the entire company.
It’s ridiculous to think that all the Data Requests that get sent out to users every single day for each developer to have their details sent to the authorities if they don’t comply and or to be terminated for it. You’d basically be having children who have no idea what a datastore is being terminated because they used an uncopylocked game.
ROBLOX has to be considerate while also complying with the law, if the law says what it says. They’re going to comply with it, this in the face of the message asking you to remove the IDs from relevant datastores.
If you don’t remove when they have asked you to do so, they don’t follow it up. This is because, it’s not their job to follow it up anymore. Once requested, all ROBLOX can do legally is hope you remove the ID(s) respectively.
