NIX tightens rules against telemarketers – Expressen

NIX tightens rules against telemarketers – Expressen

The Telemarketer will find it more difficult to reach individuals with sales calls.

The association NIX Phone tightens rules now – how they related to their records, may be contacted.

“Many consumers are angry that they NIXat themselves, yet will be contacted the vendor by phone, “writes man in a press release.

It will now be easier for individuals to protect themselves from unwanted sales calls.

Those consumers who have chosen to register their phone number in NIX Phone should already, with certain exceptions, be protected from talks in sales or marketing purposes – when the company has to check if the number is entered into service before the call is made.

But protection has been shown to contain gaps, the association now hopes clog with the enhanced rules:

“Many consumers are angry that they NIXat themselves, yet are contacted by salesman over the phone. Most often, there has been due to the consumer unknowingly given their consent to being contacted in connection with such competitions on the Internet. Now we are tightening the rules and closes this hole, “says Jonas Edström, Chairman of the Association NIX Phone.

To be successful close these holes should now be clearer if the sender’s intention to convey personal information to others companies – in order to contact the consumer, says NIX Phone.

The protection shall also cover individual traders without active business because they can be equated with consumers.

This, says the association, has been a group that oseriösare players focused on.

“NIX registry works well today and is followed by all serious players in the market, which makes it developed consumer protection should be effective against unwanted conversation, “adds Jonas Edström in the message.

The new rules will take effect from 16 February.
