Keep Adult Advertisements Out Of Your Children’s Inboxes

About The Utah Child Protection Registry

The Utah Child Protection Registry is a unique program that empowers families to stop adult advertisements from reaching their children’s e-mail addresses, mobile phone numbers, and instant messenger IDs. The free program is administered by the Division of Consumer Protection and enforced in conjunction with the State Attorney General’s Office.

3.      Refer friends and family members to the program by instantly sending them Registry sign up information.

-Instant Messenger IDs

Stopping Adult Product Advertisements

The Utah Child Protection Registry is not a spam filter or a service that “blocks” unwanted messages. Companies and marketers are prohibited from sending messages for products or services that are illegal under Utah law for minors to purchase. These include but are not limited to alcoholic beverages and products, tobacco products, pornographic materials, and/or gambling services.

What If You Are Contacted After You Register

Once an address is registered, senders of messages that advertise certain adult-oriented

products or services are required to remove the address from their lists within 30 days.

If a registered address is contacted with an adult-oriented message, you may submit a report to

the Division of Consumer Protection. The process is user-friendly and ultimately allows the

registry to work at its best. By submitting a report, you are helping the state fight against those

companies and marketers who are not complying with the registry laws.
