Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC), a Singapore Government statutory body, have just made their DO NOT CALL (DNC) registry live today. By opting in your number on DNC registry, you will no longer received these calls and SMS in the future.
HOW IT WORKS?
Organisations are required to check the DNC Registry within certain time periods before sending any marketing message (60 days for the first six months of the DNC Registry’s operations, and 30 days thereafter). Therefore, you should not receive marketing messages from organisations (except those you have given clear and unambiguous consent for, in written or other accessible form) 30 or 60 days after registration. However, during the period immediately after registration (within 60 days for the first six months of the DNC Registry’s operations, and within 30 days thereafter), you may expect to still receive some marketing messages.
