LOS ANGELES — The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) has named DialXS, XLoveCam and LALExpo as its Featured Sponsors for March 2021.
Representing a range of the digital media industry’s most respected companies, according to ASACP, the Featured Sponsors are lauded for promoting responsible business practices through ethical operations and proactive measures that help to protect minors and other viewers from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials, and also serve to improve the overall safety of minors' daily digital lives.
ASACP’s Executive Director Tim Henning said that the nonprofit association’s success relies on market-leading companies, organizations and service providers that are willing to assume a leadership role in the fight to keep minors out of and away from adult-oriented materials.
“Today’s top companies promote online child safety by sponsoring the association and taking several simple steps to help protect the innocence of youth,” Henning explained. “This support is vital in educating publishers and other stakeholders about these measures and how they can best be implemented.”
The financial and material support that ASACP receives from its sponsors, including DialXS, XLoveCam and LALExpo, “power its 25-year record of success and enables its free child protection resources; including market-specific Best Practices and a Code of Ethics for online businesses, app publishers, and all operators of age-restricted websites,” a rep said.
March’s Featured Sponsors include:
DialXS
An ASACP Title Sponsor, DialXS is a major international payment services provider that has operated since 2000 and is also the association’s exclusive Travel Sponsor.
Next to processing credit card transactions, the company also offers a wide range of local and trusted payment methods in most European nations, which is a proven way to boost conversions for their international operating merchants.
“In many European countries, people do not like to give their credit card details to an unknown merchant. They would rather pay using their already trusted ways to pay online,” DialXS CEO Chris Visser stated. “To optimize conversions, you need to provide the customer a preferred payment method in all targeted countries, and with many of our payment methods, there are no options for customers to do an unjustified chargeback.”
Like many companies, DialXS has noted significant market changes in the face of the coronavirus pandemic — changes that have benefited many brands in the adult space, but that has hurt ASACP’s outreach efforts.
“DialXS takes online child protection extremely seriously and so we are pleased to provide ASACP with the support it deserves and to help enable its presence at international trade events,” DialXS CEO Chris Visser stated. “The pandemic poses a wide range of challenges, including barriers to travel that make it hard for the association to reach stakeholders, but together, we can make a difference for the children of the world.”
XLoveCam
For more than 15 years, XLoveCam.com has provided a live cam platform that provides users, affiliates and models with quality professional service. The company safely serves more than 1 million visitors every day using an infrastructure that is spread over five countries. In 2019, the site reported 125 million unique visitors and nearly 2 billion page views, with a 99.99% positive response rate among users.
“XLoveCam helps ASACP and the minors they protect through our financial support,” Founder Patrick Koning said. “XLoveCam is strongly in agreement with ASACP regarding the protection of minors and being against CSAM.”
XLoveCam has set up barriers on its platforms, including RTA labeling, to keep minors from accessing its sites; and also ensures that no illegal activity occurs on its platform, through 24/7 monitoring and applying a zero-tolerance policy.
LALExpo
An official ASACP Media Sponsor since 2017, the Latin America Adult Business Expo (LALExpo) targets the vibrant Latin American market, attracting a growing international and Latin American audience from companies representing all aspects of the online and adult business world. Because LALExpo is a business-to-business, education and trade event, the general public is not permitted to attend, but a diverse range of companies from the billing, mobile tech, ad network, affiliate sectors, and more, are in attendance. This executive event is capped by the LALExpo Awards, honoring excellence across dozens of industry categories and market segments.
“Colombia has emerged as a vibrant center of the global camming community and broader digital media market, and LALExpo’s goal has always been to promote excellence and responsibility among the companies in this space,” said Anthony Rivera, an organizer of the event and co-founder of AJ Studios. “Our roots are in the camming community and we serve this group made up of countless independent performers, providing an opportunity for all adults who wish to make a living and support their families and themselves through today’s technology.”
“Of course, with this opportunity comes a great responsibility to do the right thing, and to help ensure that only those who are legally able to enjoy camming and other adult entrepreneurial activities are doing so,” Rivera added. “This is why we support ASACP and its mission to educate and professionalize the industry in the name of protecting minors, as well as restrict attendance at our event to adult business professionals only.”
“ASACP is grateful and humbled by the commitment, generosity and leadership displayed by its sponsors, including longterm supporters DialXS, XLoveCam and LALExpo,” Henning concluded. “ASACP’s Featured Sponsors take action concerning the problem of online child protection, and so can you and your company, too.”
