<pubDate>Mon, 02 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><category>major</category><category>AI training</category><description>Roblox&#x27;s EU privacy policy now says content you upload through camera or upload features may be kept for AI training and improving products, not just for the feature itself. It adds a section on researcher access to platform data, which in some cases may include Personal Information. It also names more legal orders that can lead to sharing (e.g. European Production Orders), and keeps a parent&#x27;s email for 7 days instead of 24 hours if account linking isn&#x27;t completed. It adds some parental-rights and Global Privacy Control wording as well. Taken from you: Uploaded camera/photo/video content may now be kept for AI training and product improvement, not just the feature&#x27;s purpose; Parent emails are kept 7 days instead of 24 hours if linking is not completed; Personal Information may be shared with researchers where legally required; Legal-order sharing now names specific instruments, such as European Production/Preservation Orders and Brazilian Marco Civil orders. Sharing in response to court orders and legal process was already allowed.; Creators &#x27;may&#x27; rather than &#x27;will&#x27; access user data; contact importer wording no longer says &#x27;consent&#x27;</description></item>

<pubDate>Thu, 10 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><category>major</category><description>For users outside the EU, EFTA and UK, the terms add a binding arbitration fallback (AAA) if the Texas court clause fails, plus a jury trial waiver. Texas courts, Texas law and the class action waiver were already in the old version. Affiliates SpaceXAI, Cursor and SpaceX are now named in the dispute clauses, and users are responsible for autonomous actions taken on their behalf. EU/EFTA/UK users keep Irish courts and law, now with an explicit note that mandatory protections of their home country still apply. Taken from you: Users outside the EU/EFTA/UK can be forced into binding arbitration (American Arbitration Association) if the Texas court clause fails, with no injunctive relief and confidential proceedings; Right to a jury trial waived where law permits (the class action waiver already existed); The existing class action waiver against affiliates now explicitly names SpaceXAI, Cursor and SpaceX entities; Each party bears own arbitration costs, with fee-shifting for frivolous claims; State law claim deadline changes from two years to two years and one day (slightly longer); the one-year federal deadline is unchanged; Responsibility for features that perform autonomous actions on your behalf; SpaceXAI, Cursor and SpaceX entities are now expressly named among the affiliates who benefit from the dispute clauses</description></item>
