TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act)

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) is a U.S. law enacted in 1991 to protect consumers from unwanted telemarketing calls, automated messages, and faxes. It requires businesses to obtain consent before contacting consumers using automated dialing systems or prerecorded messages. The law also restricts unsolicited advertising faxes and gives individuals the right to sue if they receive unwanted calls. The goal of the TCPA is to reduce intrusive and bothersome communications, ensuring consumers have control over their phone interactions.
