LOS ANGELES—ASACP, the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection, names Streamate, DialXS, and Fleshlight as featured sponsors for October 2022.
ASACP’s Featured Sponsors rank among the industry’s most respected companies. These industry leaders demonstrate how corporate responsibility, ethical business practices, and simple technical measures can help protect minors and other sensitive users from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials online.
As a nonprofit association, ASACP relies on the continued support of the companies and organizations willing to assume a proactive leadership role in the fight to protect children from online harm.
Said ASACP Executive Director Tim Henning, "By working together toward the common goal of protecting children and vulnerable groups, industry leaders and other stakeholders can improve the enjoyment and safety of internet surfing for everyone. ASACP’s diverse family of sponsors reflects the wide range of companies that support our efforts to preserve freedom of choice for adults while protecting the innocence of youth."
ASACP’s successes are made possible by its sponsors’ guidance and support. These include free child protection resources, market-specific best practices, and a comprehensive code of ethics for app and age-restricted website publishers. Positioned at the pinnacle of ASACP’s achievements is its RTA (Restricted To Adults) meta-labeling system that prevents children’s access to adult-oriented web pages and apps; and its CP Reporting Tipline, which has processed more than 1 million reports to date.
As with all of ASACP’s services, these tools are freely accessible to all publishers, thanks to the generosity of its sponsors, including October’s Featured Sponsors—Streamate, DialXS, and Fleshlight.
Streamate
Streamate.com has decades of experience providing live streaming and adult-themed photos and videos to its members while keeping up with the advanced technology. It focuses on adding value to its offerings and satisfying customers, content partners, and affiliates while being sensitive to the need to protect youth’s innocence.
Said Streamate’s director of marketing Liz R, "As a long-standing member of ASACP, we are honored to continue supporting the organization. ASACP works tirelessly to defend the industry and its commitment to protecting children and the fight against exploitation. There has never been a more critical time for the industry to rise in unified support of organizations such as ASACP."
Liz R added, "ASACP provides valuable resources to the industry and the general public that companies should take advantage of and share with their customers. For example, all companies within the industry should be using RTA labels on their apps and sites and doing all they can to ensure that only adults are seeing (or creating) adult content."
DialXS
An ASACP title sponsor, DialXS is a primary 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 payment methods in most European nations, which is a way to boost conversions for their international operating merchants.
Stated DialXS CEO Chris Visser, "In many European countries, people do not like to give their credit card details to an unknown merchant. Instead, they would rather pay using their already trusted ways to pay online. 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. 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. 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."
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 have hurt ASACP’s outreach efforts.
Fleshlight
An ASACP corporate sponsor since 2007, Fleshlight and its parent, Interactive Life Forms, is an established leader in sexual health and fulfillment. At the forefront of its product development, Fleshlight bridges traditional novelties with the newest technology to bolster connections between people around the world.
According to the company, in an era where vibrators are an acceptable means for female sexual freedom and enjoyment, the perception of male sex products has remained biased. By providing high-quality, discreet, and tasteful products, the company hopes to help change these perceptions and to bring the topic of male sexuality into the public discourse—while focusing on providing adult novelties to adults only.
Concluded Henning, "ASACP is grateful to Streamate, DialXS, and Fleshlight for their commitment, generosity, and leadership in supporting the association and its mission to keep children out of and away from adult-oriented content. ASACP’s sponsors are united in building a better future for the industry and society’s most vulnerable members. We thank them for this and encourage others to join this noble crusade."
