Corporate Registration on TPS

What constitutes a telemarketing call?

A telemarketing call is one where the caller is promoting their goods and services or their aims and ideals and includes fundraising calls. In other words, it could be a promotional call from a commercial enterprise, a charity or even a political party.

A call made by a market researcher or opinion pollster is unlikely to be a telemarketing call unless part of the call also includes the promotion of a particular product or service or a particular cause.

A call to check contact details is unlikely to constitute a marketing call but telemarketers should guard against trying to circumvent TPS registration by using such a call as a lead into a marketing call. Recipients of such calls can, of course, refuse to confirm contact details if they wish.
