To fight against the scourge of cold calling and better protect their personal data, UFC-Que Choisir provides everyone with a valuable tool. Clubic explains how to get started.
UFC-Que Choisir offers an additional solution to consumers who wish to combat telephone canvassing. Based on European regulations, the famous RGPD, the association provides a site which allows users to send a standard email to their telephone operator, to request the deletion of the transfer of their contact details, and thus avoid that these are broadcast almost everywhere, leading to telephone harassment which still exasperates 9 out of 10 French people. Suffice it to say that every solution is welcome.
A platform that helps fight against telephone canvassing, but not only that!
Although measures have been taken, such as the extension of Bloctel, and the sanctions and restrictions (timetables, in particular) are more severe than in the past, cold calling has a hard time and continues to bother the French.
With the platform respectmesdatashighlighted through the “I am not a data” campaign, UFC-Que Choisir offers us a tool that allows each consumer to ask operators not to share data with the public directory or their partners, in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR.
The tool already makes it possible to retrieve data and analyze data to discover how organizations use it. It also offers forms that help you obtain deletion of your information. And the platform also allows you to be supported in your request to exercise law. But it is above all the section dedicated to cold calling that interests you today.
Fight against canvassing in three short steps, helped by UFC-Que Choisir
By pressing the “Click here” button that you see in the screenshot just above these few lines, you will be redirected to a page allowing you to “identify the organization to contact”. Let’s say you choose Orange among the 4 telecom operators (and the 90,000 other companies listed).
If you follow the procedure correctly, the data access request selected should read: “object to the transfer of your contact details”. The idea is to require its operator not to transfer the data it holds about you to the public directory or to its partners. You must validate this first step by entering your email address.
The second step consists of saying more about your identity, namely your first name, your last name and an identifier that the operator holds about you, for example a telephone number, an email address or a contract number, or even A nickname. The tool respectmesdatas takes care of the rest, establishing an e-mail template that you will only have to send, with a simple click on the “ I send the request “.
Don’t forget one thing: if you are under contract with one operator for landline, and with another for mobile, you will have to repeat the request so that both can take your request into account.
