NAVER Z celebrates Safer Internet Day 2023 in collaboration with ConnectSafely

---

SEONGNAM, South Korea, Feb. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of Safer Internet Day 2023, NAVER Z collaborated with ConnectSafely for their Family Program to highlight ZEPETO's approach to safety and raise awareness on how to stay safe online.

The joint video features ZEPETO's official safety avatar Soteria speaking with ConnectSafely's President and CEO, Larry Magid, about the different measures the company takes to prevent and detect harm, as well as educate the community on digital safety.

Within the platform, ZEPETO is hosting a #BeKind campaign promoted by its leading influencers through the week of February 6 to drive positive engagement and battle cyberbullying. The ZEPETO team will also spotlight its safety resources within the app through Soteria's account to refresh the community on available safety resources.

This collaboration is NAVER Z's second safety initiative with ConnectSafely, following the publication of ZEPETO's Guardians' Guide last June.

Over the course last year, ZEPETO's Trust and Safety team focused on building a strong network of partnerships with leading online safety organizations, including ConnectSafely, Tech Coalition, INHOPE, BBB National Programs, and Trust and Safety Professionals Association.

In 2023, they plan to actively engage this network to inform and support upcoming safety initiatives ranging from its first Transparency Report to new safety features.

NAVER Z's first Transparency Report will be published later this year to provide accountability and visibility into the risks and realities within the platform and its ongoing efforts. The Report will include data and analyses on areas including user reports, content removal, punishment enforcement, appeals, and law enforcement requests.
