The Do Not Call (DNC) Registry lets you opt out of marketing messages addressed to your Singapore telephone number,
such as those which promote or advertise a good or service, allowing you to have more control over the kind of messages
you receive on your telephone, mobile phone or fax machine.
The DNC regime under the PDPA prohibits organisations from sending such messages to Singapore telephone numbers,
including mobile, fixed-line, residential and business numbers, registered with the registry.
Organisations which have a continuing relationship with a subscriber or user of a Singapore telephone number may send
marketing messageson similar or related products, services and memberships to that Singapore telephone number via text
or fax without checking against the DNC Registry. Each exempt message must also contain an opt-out facility that you may
use to opt out from receiving such telemarketing messages. If you opt out, organisations can no longer rely on the exemption
and must stop sending you such messages 30 days after you opt out.
The DNC Registry is meant to focus on telemarketing calls or messages of a commercial nature sent to consumers.
Messages for pure market survey or research; messages that promote charitable or religious causes;
personal messages sent by individuals; public messages sent by government agencies; and political messages
will not be covered under the DNC provisions. Telemarketing calls or messages of a commercial nature that
target other businesses are also excluded from the DNC provisions. For the list of messages that are excluded
under the PDPA, please refer to the Eighth Schedule of the
PDPA.
You may register in any of the three DNC Registers, based on your preference:
