LOS ANGELES — ASACP has announced Safenames.net as its newest Corporate Sponsor.
"Among the industry’s most respected companies,” a rep explained, “ASACP’s sponsors serve as excellent examples of how corporate responsibility, ethical operation and basic proactive measures all help to protect minors and other viewers from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials online.”
According to the company, Safenames “manages its clients’ domain name portfolio, handles disputes, hosts data and keeps brands one step ahead of the competition.”
“Founded in 1999, Safenames is U.K.-owned and headquartered, with a global reach and a comprehensive suite of tools for protecting domain names, trademarks and online brand identities,” a rep said. “Safenames helps by identifying and optimizing which domains need to be renewed, redirected, deleted or have their information updated, which reduces expenses on unnecessary domain renewals; ensures that the WHOIS contact details are correct; uncovers any domains registered outside of corporate policy; and finds and fixes domains that are not resolving correctly.”
Safenames’ CEO Adan McManus said his company “enables clients to make their mark on the world by providing a safe and secure framework where their brands are protected, We engage, we connect and we share our knowledge to help deliver our client’s aspirations as we strive to be the top service provider in protecting and securing digital brands and platforms.”
“Safenames' focus on brand protection aligns with ASACP’s focus on online business protection through child protection, making for a mutually beneficial alliance,” McManus added. “We are proud to become Corporate Sponsors of ASACP and to help it provide a safe space for brands, minors and consumers alike.”
ASACP’s Executive Director Tim Henning shared that the nonprofit association’s ongoing success relied on continued support from market-leading companies and organizations that fight to keep minors out of and away from adult-oriented materials.
“ASACP’s sponsors promote online child safety and help protect the innocence of youth by taking several simple steps to restrict access to their apps and sites,” Henning explained. “By educating publishers and stakeholders about the need for these measures and how they can best be implemented across an evolving range of digital media platforms, ASACP continues to make a positive, relevant difference in the daily digital lives of minors.”
The support that ASACP receives from sponsors, including Safenames, “power its 25-year-long record of success and enables its free child protection resources; including market-specific Best Practices and a comprehensive Code of Ethics for businesses, app publishers and all operators of age-restricted websites,” the rep said.
“ASACP is delighted to welcome Safenames to our family of sponsors, and we look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship while encouraging other market leaders to join us in carrying out our mission,” Henning concluded. “Sponsors such as Safenames make a meaningful difference in the association’s battle for online child protection — and your company can, too.”
