LOS ANGELES—The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) has honored Epoch, BongaCams, and AdultPrime as Featured Sponsors for February 2025.
ASACP is a nonprofit organization entering its 29th year of driving online child safety. It relies on the support of companies, organizations, and individuals committed to protecting children from online harm.
ASACP’s Featured Sponsors are industry members and companies who have demonstrated corporate responsibility and ethical business practices and deploy technical measures that protect minors and sensitive users from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials online.
ASACP’s executive director, Tim Henning, thanked Epoch, BongaCams, and AdultPrime for their support.
Henning said, "We are incredibly grateful for our dedicated sponsors who play a vital role in shaping a safer future through online child protection. Their commitment to promoting age assurance helps preserve the innocence of our youth. The tools our association freely provides wouldn’t be possible without their generous support. Together, we’re making a meaningful impact."
Tools encompass free child protection resources for parents, Best Practices tailored to specific adult market segments, and a comprehensive Code of Ethics for all website and mobile app publishers. These vital resources help empower companies of all sizes to prevent minors from accessing age-restricted content.
One of ASACP’s most notable achievements is its RTA (Restricted To Adults) meta-labeling system, which prevents children from accessing adult-oriented web pages and apps. Additionally, its CP Reporting Tipline has processed over 1.25 million reports since its inception and remains a vital global resource.
The association’s sponsors, including February’s Featured Sponsors, Epoch, BongaCams, and AdultPrime, are crucial in making these tools available.
Epoch—A founding Platinum Sponsor that has supported ASACP for over 20 years, Epoch is a payment facilitator that enables merchants to process transactions online and through mobile devices. It accepts global payments for digital products and services.
Epoch ensures that its services are not used by illegal websites selling materials depicting underage performers. It also provides dedicated service to the association’s advisory committee, which helps set responsible standards and practices for legitimate adult entertainment and other companies. Epoch also provides boardroom facilities for ASACP meetings and other tangible assets.
BongaCams—As a trusted ASACP Title Sponsor since 2016, the live adult cam platform BongaCams prioritizes the protection of children online.
A BongaCams spokesperson said, "Since children might not only visit adult content websites but also attempt to become paid performers, we take extra care to ensure they do not receive this opportunity. Our collaboration with ASACP is based on BongaCams’ aspiration to prevent child exploitation on the internet, and we do our best to secure their safety online."
The spokesperson added, "BongaCams strictly prohibits streaming or uploading pedophilic content and takes on the obligation to contact relevant authorities if such activity is suspected. Thanks to ASACP’s support, the general public can report on any questionable content and thus minimize the spread of child pornography. The service provided by ASACP is fully anonymous, so BongaCams’ visitors can feel safe reporting any suspicious videos, and therefore, the fight against child exploitation will be maximally effective."
AdultPrime—The company behind AdultPrime has been in business since 1968. With daily updates and the ability to stream or download videos across all devices, AdultPrime gathers top content from more than 145 sites. The subscription costs less than $10 per month for full access.
To help prevent minors from accessing the platform, AdultPrime features a warning page and employs ASACP’s Restricted To Adults meta-labeling system. The site also uses appropriate age verification tools to comply with various jurisdictions’ mandates.
Henning concluded, "Our sponsors provide more than just support to the association; they actively participate in shaping the industry and, most importantly, work tirelessly to ensure children’s online safety, a responsibility we all share. The sponsors and members of ASACP are essential in creating a better environment for consenting adults while protecting the most vulnerable members of society. This is a noble and crucial mission that the association will continue to uphold and promote among all stakeholders in the industry as we move forward into the future."
