LOS ANGELES — The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) has announced its Featured Sponsors for the month of November, 2015.
According to ASACP Executive Director Tim Henning, ASACP is pleased to highlight a selection of its most generous and long-term sponsors each month, to recognize the consistent support these companies have shows to the association and its mission of protecting children, by keeping them out of and away from adult oriented materials.
“ASACP’s Sponsor Recognition Program honors those companies that have demonstrated a willingness to put child protection ahead of profits,” Henning stated. “This is seen in the use of the Restricted To Adults (RTA) website label, and by following ASACP’s Code of Ethics and its market-specific Best Practices, among other proactive measures.”
“By upholding the highest business, ethical and operational standards,” Henning explains, “ASACP’s sponsors set an example for their industry peers that is worth following.”
Honoring its generous Featured Sponsors for November, ASACP wishes to thank Epoch, Rabbit’s Reviews, and Sextronix, for their ongoing sponsorship of the association.
Epoch
A founding Platinum Sponsor that has supported ASACP for more than 13 years, Epoch is an Internet Payment Services Provider that enables merchants to process transactions online and through mobile devices, accepting global payments for digital products and services, all while earning a reputation for legitimacy and oversight of client web properties in the process.
Epoch takes an active, two-pronged approach to child protection — first, by ensuring that its services are not used by illegal websites se lling materials depicting underage performers, and secondly, by selflessly providing dedicated service on the association’s Advisory Committee — helping to set the responsible standards and practices for legitimate adult entertainment and other companies disseminating age-restricted digital materials, while providing a board room for ASACP meetings as well as other tangible assets.
Epoch’s responsible corporate philosophy puts people (including children) first, exemplifying the type of industry-leading company that makes up ASACP’s most valued sponsors.
Rabbit’s Reviews
A Corporate Sponsor supporting ASACP since 2005, Rabbit’s Reviews is a free adult website that provides reviews of premium adult paysites, as an independent rating of the quality and value of these sites, thus acting as the “Consumer Reports” of Internet porn.
Rabbit’s Reviews makes it its business to review countless adult websites and is in a position to understand the importance of protecting children from inappropriate material. Through its generous support, it has helped ASACP to carry on its mission of protecting children on the Internet, while helping to set the standards of legitimacy and quality for adult websites.
RabbitsReviews.com helps prevent a minor’s unauthorized access to its age-restricted content by using a warning page and parental filtering controls. These measures provide a protective barrier between youth and adult entertainment, in accordance with ASACP’s Best Practices.
Sextronix
An ASACP Corporate Sponsor since 2010, Sextronix’s affiliate program allows marketers to promote the company’s more than 200 premium adult websites, which serve straight and gay consumers with niche sites depicting solo girls, adult oriented cartoons and Hentai material, along with content for transgender enthusiasts.
Among the company’s offerings are free sites, which may typically allow unrestricted access to age in appropriate materials; but Sextronix takes the proactive steps of including a warning page as well as RTA labeling, to prevent unexpected or unauthorized access — a process that it further strengthens by requiring a credit card for age verification.
On the leading edge of mobile technology, many of Sextronix’ sites target consumers on a wide variety of devices to satisfy today’s diverse audiences, but this complicates matters from a child protection standpoint. ASACP’s Best Practices for mobile adult sites and applications help guide digital media companies facing these challenges, providing workable solutions.
November’s Featured Sponsors show how a diverse group of companies, from online billing, to website ratings and reviews, to premium adult content providers and beyond, demonstrate proactive corporate leadership through support of ASACP and its mission to protect children from age-inappropriate materials while keeping minors out of and away from adult oriented products and services.
