Are you Compliant?

On August 29, 2008 the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) adopted two amendments to the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) which was originally issued on August 16, 1995 and then amended on January 29, 2003. As you may be aware, the latest amendments specified changes in the manner in which telemarketers can place prerecorded calls to consumers. In short, their chief purpose was to protect consumers’ privacy by imposing restrictions on prerecorded calls intended to “induce (1) the purchase of any good or service or (2) a charitable contribution from a member of, or previous donor to, a non-profit charitable organization on whose behalf the call is made.” Read more about FTC regulations.
