National Do Not Call Registry Act

The National Do Not Call Registry Act is a U.S. law designed to protect consumers from unsolicited telemarketing calls. It allows individuals to register their phone numbers on a national list, signaling their preference not to receive these calls. Telemarketers must check this list before making calls and are prohibited from contacting registered numbers. If they do, consumers can report them for violations. This helps reduce unwanted calls, giving people greater control over their phone communications and privacy. The registry is maintained by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
