SOSO is committed to providing a fun, entertaining and safe web site for people of all ages. Our audience should feel comfortable exploring the content offered on the site and because our site users are primarily children, we take care that the content of the site is suitable for children and that we take appropriate measures to help children protect their privacy online.
This Privacy Policy outlines and clarifies how we collect and use information online, and the safeguards we recommend to ensure a fun and safe web experience.

Client Data Collection
SOSO does not collect any personally identifiable information from its visitors without the user being aware that they are providing the information. Personal information such as names and e-mail addresses are obtained only during the registration process and when site users subscribe to newsletters, contact us via e-mail or otherwise voluntarily provide this information to us.
We may use or disclose personal information if we reasonably believe that the use or disclosure is necessary to prevent improper conduct or a breach of law, or if its use or disclosure is required or authorised by law, or in response to a law enforcement agency's or other public agency's (including schools or children services) request or if we feel that such disclosure may prevent the instigation of a crime. Finally, we may disclose information to a prospective purchaser of our company (or its assets), to the extent permitted by law.
Under no circumstances will we sell or otherwise disclose personal information to any third party. We ask all users of the site where they are under the age of 14 years to ensure they have the permission of their parent and/or guardian to offer their personal information.
You may ask us at any time to let you know what personal information we have collected from you or your child. On your request, we will amend any such information we are holding that is incorrect or delete such information.

Notice of changes may be provided to you by posting the effective date at the top of the Privacy Policy page, by email to your email address or in other ways. Your continued use of the site after such modifications constitutes your acknowledgment of, and agreement to be bound by, the amended Privacy Policy.
