Policy Statement

Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person’s liberty by another in order to exploit them for personal or commercial gain. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships and, taking into account our video platform structure to implement and enforce effective systems to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our business or in any of our supply chains.

Areas of Risk

We understand that our biggest exposure to modern slavery is within our own business. We are committed to report on key points of action that we intend to take going forward.

 

The areas that we operate in could contain high risk regions and we are conscious of this.

There are risks relating to uploading the content by our creators and the risk of material being used that is exploitative and in breach of the MSA. In order to disrupt and prevent harm we monitor all media uploaded to the platform and remove, and report where necessary, any content that facilitates or coordinates the exploitation of humans, including human trafficking. We define human trafficking as the business of depriving someone of liberty for profit. It is exploitation of humans in order to force them to engage in commercial sex, labour or other activities against their will. It relies on deceptive force or coercion.

 

Our recruitment of staff.

 

Our contracts with suppliers regularly specify the Act as a contractual obligation for them to comply with and we will promote a requirement that any suppliers confirm their compliance with the Act. That said, we have a limited number of suppliers because of the nature of our industry. We are implementing company wide training on modern slavery to new customer facing employees and existing employees and an annual refresher for all employees and contractors the training is mandatory and is provided via an online training provider.

 

Responding to Areas of Risk

  • We have a robust onboarding and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) process when new users join the platform to become a creator. This is a critical part of our zero tolerance policy against modern slavery. 
  • All content on our platform is reviewed by our employees before it is authorised for upload and made available to our subscribers.
  • We monitor to make sure that only a creator is allowed to make an account on their own behalf. We further enforce this rule throughout their usage of the platform. We review any discrepancies between ID’s added and the Payout legal name provided.
  • Our Support function deals with any concerns or complaints from our users and from the wider community. Any reports escalated from our platform are reviewed internally by our Support team.

 

We will continue to consider and take the following actions which are appropriate and proportionate to the risk profile for OrgasmicMen.com:

  • Identify and assess any further risk areas within our business or supply chain.
  • Mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our business or supply chain.
