178,190 Unauthorized advertising calls
During the period from January 02, 2020 to September 30, 2021, Eco Spray Insulations Limited, an energy efficiency company specializing in spray foam insulation, made at least 178,190 unauthorized solicitation calls. To make these calls, the company had acquired contact information from two different data vendors. However, there was a failure to match this data with the TPS registry, where individuals can indicate that they do not wish to receive solicitation calls. In addition, the company was partially unable to provide the requested information during the investigation by the UK’s data protection authority, the ICO.
