Hello,
I was reading through the API reference for GlobalDataStore and came across this under SetAsync():
It states that it assists with copyright and intellectual property tracking or removal, but I am stuggling to imagine any valid use cases for what they describe. Does anyone know how this argument is useful for intellectual property or other reasons? Thanks.
People can request to have their personal data removed from Roblox, and in doing so it’s every game developer’s responsibility to remove all data gathered from or related to the requester. I’m assuming any data with an id matching that of the requester would be automatically deleted. Or it’s just so that in the event of a request being made its easier for you to implement something to remove all related data yourself
At least that’s my best guess I’m not actually entirely sure
I’d assume that roblox does not automatically delete any data due to the risks involved.
Sure, the request to remove data from roblox was an application I was considering but what does that have anything to do with copyright? Also, for data removal requests, how would this be more useful than the scope parameter which can actually be directly accessed rather than this argument which would require an ineffiecent guess & check approach of reading all datastores for a specific userid? Unless I am missing some method that will return all data stores with a given userid in the third parameter.
its so they can process GDPR right to be forgotten requests, if you check the developer roadmap theres something about automatically processing them
Are you aware of any applications related to copyright or intellectual property as the docs state? I see GDPR as something separate but it could just be written incorrectly.
not really but im guessing for example if a player builds/uses something that is copyrighted then they can take action, also this is from the roadmap
