Intro

Are you fed up with receiving junk mail, spam or sales calls? Do you wonder how organisations got your details and how you can stop them contacting you?

Unwanted marketingOne of the best ways to stop unwanted marketing is to tick the ‘opt out’ box on any form you fill in.

Always read the small print about whether the organisation will use your details for marketing purposes or pass them on to other organisations.

Even if you forget to tick the box, you always have the right to ask an organisation to stop using your personal information for marketing.

The following pages will provide you with some guidance on how to reduce the amount of unwanted marketing you receive.
