Protecting Your Privacy Guide
Opt Out of Having Your Information Shared
Place your phone numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry to put a stop to many telemarketing calls. Go to www.donotcall.gov or call toll-free 888.382.1222 (TTY, 866.290.4236) from the phone you wish to register.
In addition to reporting fraud or identity theft to your state attorney general's office you can file a complaint with the appropriate federal agency.
- ID Theft—Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
- Fraud—Internet, telephone communications, retail—Federal Trade Commission
- Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)— A partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C).
What can you easily do to protect your privacy? Chris Hoofnagel, head of the Electronic Privacy Information Center recommends the following four steps to opt out of certain info sharing. They take about an hour but make a big difference
- Call your phone companies and opt-out of “CPNI” sharing.
- Call the FTC do-not-call database, and opt-out of telemarketing. 888.382.1222; for TTY, call 1.866.290.4236.
- Reduce your junk mail from members of the Direct Marketing Associations (DMA) through their Mail Preference Service.
