Montreal, Quebec (April 10, 2025) – Aylo today announced a partnership with Kindred Tech, a New Zealand-based charity at the forefront of efforts against online harm, that will equip law enforcement agencies worldwide with cutting-edge investigative tools, secure communication platforms, and licensing solutions like PhotoDNA and the VICS data standard. Underpinned by annual donations, the partnership supports Kindred Tech’s critical work enabling more effective investigations and safeguarding vulnerable communities.

Through this partnership, Aylo and Kindred Tech are enhancing access to critical investigative tools and resources that support global law enforcement in the fight against online child exploitation. By providing agencies with pathways to secure, innovative solutions this collaboration ensures that those on the front lines have the technological capabilities available when needed to navigate complex digital investigations. Through its support, Aylo is helping Kindred Tech empower law enforcement with the right tools, knowledge, and infrastructure to combat online threats more effectively.

This partnership is the latest in a long history of measures taken by Aylo to safeguard its platform and ensure it remains at the forefront of internet safety globally. In recent years, Aylo has collaborated with organizations like the International Watch Foundation, Lucy Faithfull Foundation, Thorn, Pineapple Support, Stop NCII, Crime Stoppers International, The Cupcake Girls and SWOP Behind Bars on various initiatives designed to eradicate unwanted materials from the internet and make the internet a safer place for all users.

Aylo has also instituted some of the most comprehensive safeguards in the history of the internet in order to prevent and eliminate unwanted material from our platforms. This includes, but is not limited to:

• An uploader verification program that uses secure biometric facial recognition technology to ensure the identity of the uploader of all pieces of content

• Co-performer verification which establishes consent from all participants in uploaded content

• Banning of downloads

• Continuous additions to our suite of automated moderation tools (CSAI Match, Content Safety API, PhotoDNA, Vobile, Safer, Safeguard, NCMEC Take It Down, StopNCII)

• Utilization of digital fingerprinting technology to prevent the re-upload of unauthorized material

• A Content Removal Request Form which, upon being completed by any user, is to immediately and automatically disable a piece of content pending further review

• A Trusted Flagger Program that provides efficient way for dozens of NGOs and statutory offices to alert the company of content that potentially violates our Terms of Service

• Partnerships with leading global internet safety non-profit organizations.
