CIPP-A Exam - Question 68


Which of the following is NOT excluded from the scope of Singapore's Do Not Call registry?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AB

Messages that promote investment opportunities are precisely the type of telemarketing messages that the Do Not Call (DNC) Registry in Singapore aims to regulate. Such messages fall under the scope of the DNC Registry as they are considered direct marketing. Messages from market research, charitable organizations, and political candidates are typically excluded from the DNC Registry as they do not primarily aim to promote or offer goods or services for commercial purposes.

option A is missing from the DNC registry... Do note that the DNC Registry does not cover: Marketing messages or calls from organisations with whom you have an ongoing relationship, if the messages are about products or services that are relevant to you. However, you may opt out from receiving such telemarketing messages and the organisation must stop sending such messages to your Singapore telephone number after 21 calendar days; Messages that are part of a market survey or research; Messages related to charitable or religious causes; Personal messages sent by individuals; Public messages sent by government agencies; Political messages; or Telemarketing calls or messages sent to a BUSINESS (i.e. B2B).

The marketing messages covered under DNC provisions include voice calls, text or fax messages, for the purposes of: Offering to supply, advertise or promote goods or services; Advertising/promoting suppliers or prospective suppliers of goods or services; or Supplying/advertising/promoting land, interests in land or business/investment opportunities. Whether your organisation is directly sending such marketing messages, causing the message to be sent or authorising another organisation to do so, you have to ensure that such messages are not sent to Singapore telephone numbers registered with the DNC Registry.

Exceptions You do not need to check the DNC Registry if your organisation has the recipient’s clear and unambiguous consent to send marketing messages to the Singapore telephone number. Additionally, you may send: Voice calls, text or fax messages about products, services and memberships that are relevant to individuals with whom your organisation has an ongoing relationship (note: a series of one-off transactions does not constitute an ongoing relationship); Service calls or reminder messages regarding services bought by the individual; Messages as part of a market survey or research; Messages relating to charitable or religious causes; or Messages targeting businesses (i.e. B2B) and not individuals.
