Right to Erasure - Action Requested

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Roblox is asking me to delete data from a game, and the thing is I used a leaderboard from a plugin or smth that was about money or smth and that is long gone like it’s not in any container of Roblox Studio’s explorer because I deleted everything from the game so I don’t really know the datastore name, and it’s still asking me to delete data from it.

#2

seems like they disabled access to API due to the recente vents.

#3

In studio, under the home tab, go to Game Settings → Places → Click the three dots to the right of place that used to have the leaderboard → Version History. From there, you can open up an old version that had the leaderboard and find the name of the datastore.
(Opening up the old version won’t update the game, it only opens it in a new studio window.)

What data?
If it’s deleting a player’s UserID (called a right-of-erasure in their message) from your game and you’re not saving any stats for players then it shouldn’t be an issue.
I had a popular game that has a badge as well as one time obby level passes. I don’t save any data from these, but I constantly get right-of-erasure messages about players from Roblox.
Since I don’t store any of their info I’m guessing that there’s a record of the Badge, or a record of them purchasing something in my game stored somewhere in the player’s UserID account info.

I just ignore those messages.

So its nothing to worry about? - i just got the same message for the first time a couple days ago, so even if the player is banned and still has data in my game, i should just ignore it? I mean if they are banned they arent going to join back are they.

It’s not a ban.
The request for erasure is something that the account owner has requested. Roblox legally has to do as much as they can to eradicate any data that that player has about their account. This includes asking any game owners that have data saved from that account to erase that data.

For anyone reading this post try searching for other posts about this topic. Many have included the links on how to delete the data from the mentioned accounts.
