I made a gui that gets the following information: what device they are on(says mobile or computer), the time of day for them, the current date for them, and if they are afk or not. I was wondering if getting the time and date of a player is against ToS? it shows up in a gui next to their head, it uses os.date("*t") for the time and date. and it uses UIS for the afk and the device check.

Device and the “Away” status is ok I believe but I’m not so sure about the time and date.

I don’t believe it wouldn’t be against ToS but the time and date is personal information if it takes their timezone off of their device somehow.

I would assume it’s OK since this information is provided by roblox anyway, but I am not completely sure.

os.date() is a built-in function and using it is not against ToS. A timezone isn’t really personal information anyways.

I would assume so but my friend was skeptical so better safe than sorry!

Nope all of this is safe. Local time and date are fine just don’t calculate their position from this and you’re safe. (Not that you can really get an accurate location since timezones are kinda big)

I don’t think so it would be personal. Like for example some countries have time zones which even if one knows also still won’t be OBVIOUSLY enough to track the person down. Lol
Infact, even if one gets a person’s IP address also, it still won’t be enough because, literally there are so many people in a particular area of a city, and what if the person uses a VPN.
Roblox also allows you to get Player’s real life location regions with LocalizationService I believe. Not sure why this would be useful, however.
You’re safe. For every timezone at least over a good 200 million people live in it. Don’t worry about it.
