Children sign up for Roblox with their date of birth. It is important for children to enter the correct date of birth because Roblox has default security and privacy settings that vary based on the age of the player.
All Roblox games have security and privacy measures. User-uploaded images are reviewed by human moderators for inappropriate content before being posted. Players 13 and older can see and speak more words and phrases than younger players, but inappropriate chat and sharing of personal information (including phone numbers and addresses) is blocked regardless of age. YouTube channel links and some social media usernames may be shared by players aged 13 and over.
