Certified Information Privacy Professional – United States (CIPP/US) — Question 8

Under the Telemarketing Sales Rule, what characteristics of consent must be in place for an organization to acquire an exception to the Do-Not-Call rules for a particular consumer?

Answer options

• A. The consent must be in writing, must state the times when calls can be made to the consumer and must be signed
• B. The consent must be in writing, must contain the number to which calls can be made and must have an end date
• C. The consent must be in writing, must contain the number to which calls can be made and must be signed
• D. The consent must be in writing, must have an end date and must state the times when calls can be made

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it specifies that the consent must be in writing, include the number for calls, and be signed by the consumer. Option A is incorrect as it mentions stating call times instead of including the number. Option B lacks the requirement for the consent to be signed. Option D does not include the necessary detail of providing the number for calls.
