TPS and CTPS

Identifies people and businesses who match to the TPS or CTPS sources.

Description

Data8's TPS and CTPS services check the telephone number of the records provided against the Telephone Preference Service Register and the Corporate Telephone Preference Service Register respectively.

Data that is found on the register is either suppressed or the related record is flagged.
