Monday Word Check: TCPA 📞 Enacted in 1991, this federal law regulates telemarketing calls and text messages, extending its reach to mobile communication. It was in response to a growing concern involving privacy in the face of unsolicited calls – a good thing for consumers but not so good for business. Violating TCPA can result in fines ranging from $500 to $1,500 per violation, posing a significant financial risk for businesses. The law encompasses various provisions, including calling time restrictions, internal Do Not Call lists, limitations on autodialed marketing calls, and identification requirements. Additionally, TCPA grants consumers the right to bring lawsuits for individual or class actions, with statutory damages reaching uncapped amounts. 📱🔐 Learn all about TCPA here: https://bit.ly/48z80yg #TCPACompliance #LeadFollowUp #TCPARegulations

NEW: We have issued an enforcement notice to Greater Manchester Police (GMP) for repeated failures to respond to Freedom of Information (FOI) Act requests. GMP currently has a backlog of 850 overdue requests. Of these, more than 800 are over six months old and 580 are over a year old. The enforcement notice follows the practice recommendation issued in February 2023 after our routine monitoring showed that GMP was the most complained-about police force for timeliness over the previous 12 months. GMP must now devise and publish an action plan within 35 days detailing how it will respond to information requests in a timely fashion, while also clearing its backlog of late requests by 31 July 2024. Read the full enforcement notice on our website: https://lnkd.in/eyfGMaRh Responding to FOI requests is important for transparency. People should be able to routinely access information that is in the public interest so that they have confidence in the way public services are delivered.
