The ICO Investigation | Kangs Data Breach Defence Solicitors
The ICO advised our client that it had received complaints from consumers of alleged unsolicited marketing calls despite the fact they were registered with the Telephone Preference Service (‘TPS’).
The TPS, operated by the Direct Marketing Association on behalf of the ICO, enables consumers to register their telephone numbers thereby recording that they do not wish to receive unsolicited marketing calls.
The ICO sought to determine whether any enforcement action was necessary and conducted a formal investigation into our client’s compliance procedures.
