Hello, i been getting these messages since 2021, and do i really have to delete all the datastores from A-Z because that would take me a lot of time, if i dont delete the users datastores will i be in trouble?

No, you won’t be in trouble. These messages are automated.

Yes you do have to delete the data. It says so in the TOS. Will you get in trouble? Probably not because there is no way of enforcing it.

I don’t know what you mean “A-Z”. You have to delete all data associated with a player should they request it.

Really from A to Z?

That’s essentially the whole datastore! You would have to loop thru the data and use RemoveAsync on all of the registered users

Like @batteryday said, you do have to delete the requested data. Roblox may get in serious legal trouble if they don’t adhere to RTE requests, which means they will likely punish you harshly if they discover you not abiding by them. With that being said, Roblox does not have the resources nor intent to verify whether or not you do abide by the requests.

I do recommend you do delete the requested data, as you would otherwise be violating the GDPR.

Art. 17 GDPR – Right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’) - General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) technically it is mandatory that you delete player’s data and you should do so although nobody will check if you actually did. I’ve seen many devs complaining about right to be forgotten being annoying and taking a long time that’s why you should create an automated system or a module that automatically does it with the User’s ID.
