SokoPro may terminate the User’s registration or restrict access to certain parts of the SokoPro Service if SokoPro has reasonable grounds to believe that the User has violated the Terms or that the User’s identifiers have been disclosed to third parties.

SokoPro processes personal data in the manner permitted and required by the applicable data protection legislation, acting as the controller of its customer records. Users’ personal data will be processed and disclosed as described in the privacy policy of the customer register. The privacy policy can be found behind a link at the bottom of the SokoPro website.
