KGM Try it KG owns and operates the website Try it (www.try-it-app.com) („Try it“ or the „Company“), a subscription based social platform for creator and fan connections. The site is inclusive of content creators from all genres and empowers creators to own their full potential in accordance with the Company’s values and goals.
We are committed to combat slavery and human trafficking. We recognise that slavery and human trafficking is a real yet hidden issue in our society. We will not tolerate slavery and human trafficking in our business or supply chain. We are committed to acting
ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships and to implementing and
enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure that any form of slavery is not taking place in our
own business or supply chains.
Our efforts to assess and address risks of modern slavery across our business and supply chains are
anchored in our policies. Through these we communicate our values and expectations, setting a high bar
for ourselves, our suppliers, and our selling partners, making clear we do not tolerate modern slavery. We
regularly review our policies to identify areas for improvement.
Our Commitment
Try it stands against all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. 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 are committed to acting with integrity and mitigating the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking in our business dealings and relationships with our creators and fans. We are also committed to treating all employees, partners and vendors with respect and dignity, ensuring safe working conditions, and conducting environmentally responsible and ethical operations.
Steps Taken to Prevent, Detect and Report Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Risks
In this financial period we have:
- Issued company-wide policies and procedures as to acceptable business practices and ethical conduct;
- Reviewed our supply chain to identify and mitigate risks of modern slavery and human trafficking; and
- Increased our engagement with NGOs that seek to combat modern slavery and human trafficking.
Our Policies
Try it is committed to taking all reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that there are no modern slavery or human trafficking activities taking place on our platform, in our business, or in our supply chain.
- We set out our expectation that all employees act with integrity and to exercise good judgment and common sense in their efforts to comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including in relation to modern slavery and human trafficking.
- This Anti-Slavery and Anti-Trafficking Statement sets out our overarching commitment to combating modern slavery and human trafficking. The Statement also describes the concrete actions the Company takes to mitigate the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking and provides reporting channels for suspected instances of modern slavery or human trafficking.
- Our AGB specifically prohibit the uploading, posting, displaying, or publishing of content on Try it that:
- shows, includes or refers to any other individual unless written consent is obtained from each individual to use their name or images (or both) in the Content; or
- shows, promotes, advertises or refers to escort services, sex trafficking, or prostitution.
We also strive to hold our employees and suppliers to high standards. Any violation of our standards by an employee can result in disciplinary action, including termination of employment. Any violation by a supplier can result in contract termination.
Our Risk Assessment
We continually assess modern slavery and human trafficking risks in our business environment through identifying and analyzing higher-risk areas of our business. We adjust our processes and controls, as appropriate, based on changing risks.
- Our Direct Business Operations: We consider the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking to be relatively low in our direct business operations as our direct workforce is largely comprised of professionally qualified or skilled personnel. We ensure that our entire workforce is aware of these risks and our views toward these issues, and that they can report any instances of suspected modern slavery or human trafficking.
- Our Platform and Supply Chain: Creator Content. As with all social media platforms, there are risks related to creators’ content, including the risk of material being uploaded that is exploitative and in breach of various laws and our policies. Merchandise. We procure promotional merchandise, which is provided to creators and fans for marketing purposes. These items may be manufactured by a workforce that is at more risk of exploitation. We understand the garment manufacturing industry has the potential for modern slavery and human trafficking, including in such areas as freely chosen employment, young workers, working hours, wages and benefits, human treatment, non-discrimination/non-harassment, and freedom of association. Creator Verification. We carefully check all identity and payment details for each creator account application to ensure that individuals can only make an account on their own behalf. We specifically check for any discrepancies between identity documents and the legal name provided on payment methods, and employ technological safeguards to prevent creator payment details from being changed by the user. This is to ensure the creator is receiving payments directly from Try it.
In certain high-risk jurisdictions or where an account has been flagged for additional security after our initial verification process has been completed, we require an additional „selfie“ identification process to log into a creator account at specific intervals (which can include every log in).Content Moderation. In order to prevent and detect harm, we monitor media uploaded to the challenge platform and remove, and report where necessary, any content that facilitates or coordinates the exploitation of people, including modern slavery and human trafficking. We ensure compliance with our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy. All our content moderators are trained to identify and swiftly report any suspected modern slavery including trafficking. Before content can appear on a challenge we inspect it to check whether the content is allowed on the platform. Our trained moderators identify, and immediately escalate, any content which they suspect may be an indicator of modern slavery or human trafficking. Community Reporting. Our support functions are to deal with any concerns or complaints from our users. Each Chat, Account and Challenge on Try it has a report button. Any reports escalated from our platform are reviewed internally by our moderators. In addition, we encourage anyone encountering content on Try it that indicates someone is in immediate physical danger relating to human trafficking to immediately report the content to us at office@try-it-app.com Assist Law Enforcement. If Try it identifies content which contains indicators of modern slavery or human trafficking, we immediately suspend the associated account and pass this information to law enforcement and non-governmental organizations to help identify the perpetrators.Investments and Partnerships. We also continue to invest in our ability to detect content related to human exploitation through future investments by our technical and operational teams. We are increasing our investments and ability to identify the illicit actors, networks, organizations, and businesses that perpetrate these activities and disrupt them accordingly. We look to enact counter measures – both on our platforms and via our external partnerships to stop actors and businesses from using our services to commit crimes, and in all stages of the exploitation lifecycle. We work with NGOs, helplines and charities in order to support our strict policies on safeguarding our creators, fans and workforce.Transparency & Reporting. Try it is committed to building the safest social media platform in the world. Our Reporting Mechanisms We foster a culture of transparency, honesty and accountability, which encourages our employees to report any concerns or wrongdoings, including human rights violations, modern slavery and human trafficking.If you have any concerns or suspect a violation of any law by the Company, whether by its employees, contractors, agency staff or any third party doing business on the Company’s behalf, please report the matter by email to office@try-it-app.com.Our Ongoing Commitment to Continuous ImprovementModern slavery and human trafficking are complex challenge s for all businesses.
