- Do not grant camera permissions to Roblox on your device if you don't use these features (check your device's app permissions).

- Log in to the parent account at roblox.com.
- Go to the child's account settings and enable Parental Controls.
- Set a monthly Robux spending limit under 'Parental Controls > Spending Limits'.
