This privacy policy outlines what data Bloxstrap may collect, what services it uses and may exchange this data with, why these services are used, and how they are used. We do not collect any personally-identifiable or otherwise sensitive information.

Essential functionality

Bloxstrap interacts with GitHub for:

  • Checking for and downloading of automatic updates
  • Downloading mod presets that are too large to have embedded into the application (currently located at bloxstraplabs/rbxcustom-fontemojis)

Bloxstrap interacts with Roblox for:

  • Obtaining bootstrapper behaviour settings
  • Checking for updates to the Roblox Game Client
  • Obtaining information about the game you're playing for Discord rich presence

Bloxstrap will also interact with either Amazon Web Services, Akamai, or Cachefly for downloading the Roblox Game Client.

Optional functionality

Bloxstrap may interact with Microsoft for downloading the WebView2 runtime, if you choose to install it when prompted.

If you have enabled the option to use activity tracking, Bloxstrap interacts with ipinfo.io for providing you with a rough identification of your server's geographical location via its IP address.

Analytical functionality

Note

This is for Bloxstrap v2.8.0 and does not apply to the current latest release.

By your choice, Bloxstrap may collect and send analytical data. The data we collect is incredibly minimal, only as stated here, and completely anonymous. We use our own in-house analytics system which is part of the Bloxstrap website (bloxstraplabs/website).

We do this to get a better idea on Bloxstrap's usage figures, and to figure out how we can generally make it better. Typical stuff.

This section will likely change with every version that's released, so keep an eye out.

Here are the specific data points we currently collect:

  • Bloxstrap install states. If you install, uninstall or upgrade Bloxstrap, it gets recorded. It's just for general usage figures.

  • Roblox channel enrollment. If you're enrolled in a Roblox channel, Bloxstrap will record it when launching. We're doing this to get an insight on what engine features Roblox are working on and rolling out at any given moment.

  • Package download states. Roblox game client downloads are distributed in packages, and we collect data points on if your downloads succeed or if they fail, and how they do. We're using this to figure out how we can make the code for installing/upgrading Roblox more efficient.

With each data point we collect, we also record information about the version of Bloxstrap you're using.
