MAILING PREFERENCE SERVICE (MPS) The MPS is a free service funded by the direct mail industry to enable consumers to have their names and home addresses in the UK removed from or added to lists used by the industry. It is actively supported by the Royal Mail and all directly involved trade associations and fully supported by The Information Commissioner’s Office. To register with this service, visit www.mpsonline.org.uk or telephone 0845 703 4599.
FAX PREFERENCE SERVICE (FPS) The Fax Preference Service is a central opt-out register whereby individuals (and businesses) can register their choice not to receive unsolicited sales and marketing faxes. It is a legal requirement that companies do not send such faxes to numbers registered on the FPS. To register with this service, visit www.fpsonline.org.uk or telephone 0845 070 0702.
TELEPHONE PREFERENCE SERVICE (TPS) Telephone Preference Service (TPS) helps you to make sure your telephone number is no longer available to organisations, including charities and voluntary organisations who may telephone you with offers and information you do not wish to receive. Under Government legislation it is unlawful to make unsolicited direct marketing calls to individuals who have indicated that they do not want to receive such calls. To register with this service, visit www.tpsonline.org.uk or telephone 0845 070 0707.
EMAIL PREFERENCE SERVICE (e-MPS) Members of the Direct Marketing Association who wish to send unsolicited commercial e-mail must purge their e-mail lists of the individuals who have registered their e-mail address with e-MPS. Although registration with e-MPS will help reduce the number of e-mails you receive, it will not stop all commercial e-mails. To register with this service visit www.dmaconsumers.org/optoutform_emps.shtml
ROYAL MAIL OPT OUT SERVICE You can reduce the amount of unwanted unaddressed mail you receive by opting out of the Royal Mail Door to Door service. Please remember that some local authority mailings, e.g. newsletters, are sometimes delivered by this method and would also be excluded. To register, email optout@royalmail.co.uk or telephone 0845 7950950.
