The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) is pleased to honor industry-leading service providers VerifyMy, Safenames, and Pineapple Support as Featured Sponsors for April 2025.
ASACP is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting online child safety for over 29 years. The association proactively protects children from online harm by fostering corporate responsibility. It receives support from leading companies, organizations, and individuals, including its monthly honor roll of featured sponsors.
ASACP’s featured sponsors are highly regarded industry leaders recognized for their substantial contributions to corporate responsibility, ethical business practices, and implementing procedural and technical measures for child safety. These measures are designed to protect minors and other sensitive users from accidental exposure to age-restricted online content and safeguard the innocence and safety of children as they navigate their daily digital lives.
ASACP’s Executive Director, Tim Henning, thanks VerifyMy, Safenames, and Pineapple Support for their ongoing support and acknowledges their contributions as essential to the association’s mission.
“We are extremely grateful to our dedicated sponsors, who play a crucial role in creating a safer future through their support of online child protection initiatives. Their commitment to promoting age assurance helps preserve the innocence of our youth,” Henning stated. “The tools our association provides at no cost would not be possible without their generous support. Together, we are making a true impact!”
These 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.
Among ASACP’s most notable achievements are its RTA (Restricted To Adults) meta-labeling system, which prevents children from accessing adult-oriented web pages and apps, and its CP Reporting Tipline, which has received and processed over 1.25 million reports since its inception and remains a vital global resource.
The association’s family of industry leaders, including April’s Featured Sponsors — VerifyMy, Safenames, and Pineapple Support — are crucial in making these tools accessible to the broader community.
