Dec 17 - GRA Introduces Opt Out Register for Marketing Calls
The GRA is introducing an opt-out register for fax and telephone that will ban-marketing companies from sending out marketing faxes and calls to the subscribers of the register. The opt-out register allows marketing companies to check telephone and fax numbers to ensure that they do not inadvertently call or fax a number that has opted out of direct marketing calls and/or faxes.
The register is a free service open to both residential and business phone subscribers. After 28 days of opting out, no unsolicited direct marketing calls and/or faxes should be received. Companies who break this rule may face prosecution by the Commissioner.
