COPPA-Style Safety and Compliance Overview
Sonsaur Games is committed to operating its services in a manner that promotes online safety, transparency, and responsible data practices for users of all ages, including children. This page provides parents and guardians with a detailed overview of how our platform works, the safety measures we implement, and the steps we encourage families to take to support safe, informed online play. It is written in a COPPA-style format to help clarify our approach to children’s privacy and to outline the responsibilities of both the platform and the parent.
1. About Sonsaur Games
Sonsaur Games is an online entertainment platform providing access to a wide range of browser-based games across multiple categories, including action, puzzle, adventure, racing, strategy, simulation, and creative play. The website operates entirely online without requiring software downloads.
The platform is supported by advertising, which enables users to enjoy games at no cost. Sonsaur Games does not require children to create accounts to play games. Any interactive components are designed to minimize the collection of personal information and encourage safe, anonymous participation.
2. Commitment to Child Safety and COPPA-Style Principles
While Sonsaur Games is not designed exclusively for children, we recognize that younger users may access the platform. For this reason, we voluntarily structure many of our practices in accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
Our commitment includes:
• Avoiding the collection of personal information from children unless strictly necessary for limited operational purposes.
• Implementing internal review systems to reduce the availability of inappropriate or harmful content.
• Providing clear guidance to parents and guardians regarding supervision and online safety.
• Promoting transparency in how our platform operates and how data is handled.
We encourage parents to review this information carefully to understand how their children interact with online games and digital environments.
3. Supporting Your Child’s Online Safety
Parents and guardians play a crucial role in helping children use online services safely. We recommend the following protective measures:
No Sharing of Personal Information
Children should be instructed not to share personal identifiers such as full names, home addresses, school names, phone numbers, or other sensitive information while using online gaming platforms.
Safe Usernames and Identity Protection
If a game allows the use of a display name, it should be anonymous and unrelated to the child’s identity. We encourage parents to monitor the usernames their children choose.
Supervision and Open Communication
Regular discussion about online interactions helps children feel safe reporting concerns. Parents should encourage children to speak openly about any content or behavior that seems inappropriate or uncomfortable.
Review of Games and Usage Habits
Parents should periodically check the types of games their children are playing and ensure they align with the household’s personal standards and expectations.
4. Measures Sonsaur Games Takes to Protect Children
We actively evaluate the content available on our platform to promote a safe environment for users of all ages. Our efforts include:
Content Screening and Review
• Games are reviewed for appropriateness, quality, and compliance with our platform standards.
• Content containing explicit themes, violence beyond casual gaming standards, hate speech, or harmful behavior is not permitted.
Filtering and Language Controls
• We work with development partners to implement automated and manual filters that reduce the visibility of offensive language or inappropriate material.
Ongoing Monitoring and Parent Feedback
• Users and parents are encouraged to report concerns; these reports are reviewed promptly.
• When issues are identified, we take corrective action, which may include removing or restricting content.
No Direct Chat or Open Social Features for Children
• Games that rely on open chat systems or user-submitted content undergo additional review to minimize the risk of exposure to unsafe interactions.
These safeguards are designed to reduce risks but should not replace active parental guidance.
5. Advertising Standards and Age Appropriateness
Sonsaur Games uses advertising to support free gameplay. We aim to limit displayed advertisements to content appropriate for a general audience. However, because some ads are delivered through third-party networks, we maintain strict reporting and review procedures.
If a parent or guardian sees an advertisement that appears inappropriate for children, we encourage them to notify us through the website’s contact form. Details such as screenshots and descriptions help us investigate and take timely action, including blocking offending ads when necessary.
6. In-Game Purchases
The majority of games on Sonsaur Games are entirely free to play. Some third-party games may include optional in-game purchases or microtransactions controlled by the game developer.
Parents should:
• Supervise younger children during gameplay to prevent unintended purchases.
• Ensure device-level parental controls are enabled where applicable.
• Review any game’s purchase features before allowing children to play.
Sonsaur Games does not directly process payments for these purchases.
7. Data Collection and Privacy Protections
Sonsaur Games incorporates privacy-focused data practices, especially as they relate to children. Our approach includes:
Minimal Collection of Personal Information
The platform does not require children to register for accounts, submit personal information, or create profiles. Any technical information collected (such as browser type or general analytics data) is used solely for operational, security, or performance purposes.
No Intentional Collection from Children Without Parental Involvement
If we become aware that personal information may have been submitted unintentionally by a child, we provide a method for parents to request a review or deletion.
Verification Procedures
For security reasons, when a parent requests access to or deletion of data that may relate to a child, we may request proof of identity to ensure the request is legitimate and authorized.
Transparency in Data Handling
Parents are encouraged to review our Privacy Policy, which describes in detail the categories of information collected, the purposes for which it is used, and the rights available to users and guardians.
8. Parental Rights and Oversight
In alignment with principles similar to those found in COPPA, parents and guardians have the following rights:
• The right to know what information has been collected from their child, if any.
• The right to request deletion of that information.
• The right to withdraw consent to further data collection if consent was previously provided.
• The right to contact Sonsaur Games with questions or concerns regarding their child’s use of the platform.
All requests are reviewed in accordance with our verification procedures to maintain user safety and privacy.
9. Encouraging Safe and Responsible Digital Play
Our goal is to help families create positive online experiences by offering a platform where children can explore games safely and responsibly. While we implement extensive review and filtering processes, no online environment can eliminate all potential risks. Active parental involvement remains the most effective way to ensure a safe digital experience.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to:
• Use device-level parental controls.
• Establish household rules regarding screen time and game selection.
• Discuss digital citizenship and respectful online behavior with their children.
These steps, combined with the safety measures maintained by Sonsaur Games, support a safe and enjoyable gaming environment.
10. Our Commitment to Families
Sonsaur Games is dedicated to maintaining a platform that respects children’s privacy, supports parental oversight, and promotes a safe gaming experience for all users. We continuously review our practices, update safety standards, and refine our content guidelines to reflect evolving digital environments.
We welcome inquiries from parents and guardians who wish to understand our practices better or have suggestions regarding child safety on the platform.
We believe that safe online play is a shared responsibility between platforms and families. Sonsaur Games strives to uphold high standards of safety, transparency, and user protection. By working together with parents and guardians, we can create a positive, secure, and enriching online gaming experience for children of all ages.
