What is the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) register?
Telephone marketing is a great way to introduce products or services to potential customers. However, there are strict rules in the UK on how this must be done. If a person has placed themselves on the TPS register, companies must not call them about their products or services and can be fined for doing so. The register covers both mobile and landline numbers.
This also applies to businesses that place themselves on the Company Telephone Preference Service (CTPS), which functions as the business-focused counterpart to the TPS for both mobile numbers and landlines.
Regular compliance screening
Our fully automated system screens, updates, and cleanses a company’s customer data and call lists by referencing both the TPS and CTPS registries.
Combine this screening service with our data enrichment service for an enhanced data validation process. This service not only checks if a contact is listed on the register but also fills in additional details, such as addresses, when available.
Note that being listed on the TPS does not equate to going ex-directory.
Eliminate the risk of fines
Regularly updating your marketing data not only keeps you compliant, but also helps you avoid penalties. All businesses that use call lists for marketing must screen their data at least every 28 days.
Substantial fines can be levied for repeat violations, as the Informational Commissioner's Office (ICO) has imposed penalties of tens of thousands of pounds on nuisance callers.
By regularly cleansing your data, you can ensure ongoing compliance and avoid such fines.
