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.

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.
