Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to RobloxEra ("we", "our", "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and what rights you have over your data.

By using RobloxEra (accessible at robloxera.com), you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.

2. Information We Collect

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Log data: IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited, collected by our web server logs.
• Session data: a session cookie is set when you visit the site to maintain your login state. It expires when you close your browser or log out.
• Analytics: we use Umami Analytics, a privacy-friendly analytics tool, to understand aggregate usage patterns. Umami does not use cookies and does not track individuals across sites. No personal data is sent to Umami.

2.3 Third-Party Services

• Respond to your contact form messages and support requests.

4. Cookies

RobloxEra uses a single first-party session cookie to keep you logged in. This cookie contains only a session identifier and no personal data. It is deleted when your session ends.

Google AdSense may set additional third-party cookies for ad personalisation. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings; note that disabling cookies may affect your ability to log in to the site.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: Our hosting provider and any cloud infrastructure services we use to operate the site. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data.
• Legal requirements: If required by law, court order, or government authority, we may disclose information we hold.
• Protection of rights: To protect the rights, property, or safety of RobloxEra, our users, or the public.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account (or request deletion via the contact form), we will remove your personal data from our active systems within a reasonable period. Aggregate or anonymised data may be retained indefinitely.

Contact form messages are retained for up to 12 months, after which they are deleted.

7. Security

We take reasonable technical measures to protect your personal data, including encrypted HTTPS connections, hashed password storage, and rate-limiting on authentication endpoints. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If you believe your account has been compromised, please change your password immediately and contact us.
