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. The only data we send to them is the IP address of the Roblox game server you're connected to.

Analytical functionality

By your choice, Bloxstrap may collect and send analytical data, and the data we collect is incredibly minimal. 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 improve its stability or otherwise optimize its code. 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:

  • 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 improve the bootstrapper's ability to install/upgrade Roblox.
