Telemarketing Regulations

Telemarketing regulations are rules designed to protect consumers from unwanted and aggressive sales calls. In the U.S., the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) prohibits certain telemarketing practices, such as automated calls to mobile phones without consent. Additionally, the National Do Not Call Registry allows people to opt-out of receiving unsolicited sales calls. Telemarketers must also identify themselves and their purpose, and they cannot call outside designated hours. Violations can lead to penalties, ensuring that consumers have more control over their phone interactions.
