With effect from 2 January 2014, organisations will have to check the Do Not Call (DNC) Registry before sending telemarketing messages to consumers with Singapore telephone numbers. Set up by the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC), the DNC Registry is a secure database for consumers to register their Singapore telephone numbers if they wish to opt out of receiving unsolicited telemarketing messages.

The PDPC finalised the business rules of the DNC Registry after taking into consideration feedback received during the public consultation it conducted in May 2013.
