SUMMARY:Consultative Session with Stakeholders on the Development of the Direct Marketing Guidance Note
DESCRIPTION:The Regulator has noted a significant increase in the number of complaints lodged regarding the processing of personal information through direct marketing by means of unsolicited electronic communications.

The purpose of this session is to gather inputs towards the development of the guidelines. \n  \nDate: 15 June 2023  |  Time: 10.00 -12.00  |  Venue: Virtual – MS Teams (Link will be shared upon RSVP) \nWe kindly request that you extend the invitation to your network or civil organisations \nPlease confirm your attendance on or before Wednesday 14 June 2023 with  \nMs. Sanelisiwe Khumalo at SKhumalo@infoRegulator.org.za \nFor enquiries\, kindly contact Ms. D Lamola dlamola@inforegulator.org.za
