In-game data
When you join State of Madison, the game asks whether it may send your roleplay activity to our websites. You will see the prompt again when we change what we ask for. You can change your answer later from the in-game menu.
What the prompt asks
- Your age range: under 13, 13 to 15, or 16 or older.
- Share my game data with State of Madison websites: Allow or Don't allow.
- Optional, only if you allow sharing and are 13 or older: make my records public, and turn on Discord voice sync.
If you choose Allow
- Your roleplay records, vehicles, licenses, patrol time and dispatch activity are sent to our service so the websites, courts, careers and patrol tools work for you.
- Your records stay private unless you also turn on public records.
- You can see and manage everything at auth.stateofmadison.com/account.
If you choose Don't allow
- You can still play. Nothing is locked.
- Records the game needs to work, such as an active jail sentence or ownership of a vehicle, are still kept so the game keeps working. They are never public and are only shown to you and to on-duty staff in game and in our staff tools.
- Your activity is not sent to optional features: no public records, no Discord voice sync, and your patrol time is not added to website leaderboards or reports.
- Moderation actions and reports are still recorded, because they are needed for safety and so you can appeal.
Why we ask
Roblox's rules for creators say games must not track players outside Roblox, or show one player's data to another, without a good reason and the right permissions. Privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act also give younger players extra protection. Asking first, and keeping records private by default, respects both.
