Even if a lead isn't on a national DNC

[roseline371277]

Record Keeping: Maintain clear records of when, where, and how consent was obtained for each number on your leads number list. This is crucial for demonstrating compliance if challenged.
2. Telemarketing Regulations (e.g., Do Not Call Registries):

National/Regional Do Not Call (DNC) Registries: Many countries (including India, where Bangladesh's telecom landscape shares some similarities, though Bangladesh has its own specific rules) have national DNC registries. Before making any unsolicited calls, you must cross-reference your leads number list dataset
against these registries.
Internal DNC Lists: list, if they ask you not to call them again, you must add them to your internal DNC list and honor their request.
Calling Hours Restrictions: Be aware of legal restrictions on calling hours (e.g., not too early, not too late) in the region you are targeting.
3. Data Privacy Laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, and Emerging Bangladeshi Laws):

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): While a European law, GDPR has a global reach if you process data of EU citizens. It mandates strict consent requirements, data security, data subject rights (e.g., right to access, rectify, erase data), and clear privacy policies.
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA): Similar to GDPR, CCPA grants significant privacy rights to California residents.
Emerging Bangladeshi Laws: Bangladesh is in the process of developing its own data protection framework. While specific comprehensive laws akin to GDPR may still be evolving, businesses should anticipate and prepare for future requirements related to:
Data Minimization: Only collecting necessary data.
Data Security: Protecting stored data from breaches.
Transparency: Clearly informing individuals about how their data is used.
Data Subject Rights: Enabling individuals to inquire about or request deletion of their data.
Privacy Policy: Maintain a clear, accessible privacy policy on your website that explains how you collect, use, store, and share personal data, including phone numbers.
