PECR and TPS card.

1. Who is it?

• Limited company, LLP or similar: usually a “corporate subscriber”. Go to step 2.
• Sole trader or a partnership: usually treated like an individual. Emailing needs consent. Phone: step 3.
• Not sure: treat as an individual.

2. Emailing a company?

• Say who you are.
• Give an easy way to opt out, and honour it.
• Keep it relevant to their business.
• UK GDPR still applies to personal data you hold about people.

3. Phoning?

• Check the number against the TPS (individuals) and Corporate TPS (companies) before a live marketing call.
• Don’t hide your number.
• If they say stop, stop and make a note.

What we give you

Business type, council, postcode district, an FSA link and, for limited companies and trade-style names only, a name. No phone numbers or email addresses. What you do next is your call and your compliance.
