Charities may call supporters registered with the Telephone Preference Service - Third Sector

Charities may call supporters registered with the Telephone Preference Service - Third Sector: "New guidance from the Information Commissioner's Office says the decision to call should depend on the circumstances

Charities can make fundraising calls to supporters registered with the Telephone Preference Service if they believe the supporter would be unlikely to object to such calls, the Information Commissioner's Office has confirmed.

David Evans, a senior data protection practice manager at the ICO, said at a meeting in London earlier this month that the organisation would not investigate these technical breaches of the rules unless they generated complaints."
