Non-governmental DNCL Supplements
On March 28, 2008 Michael Geist introduced iOptOut.ca, a free service which assisted in the process of creating a personal do not call list. The service notified callers selected by the user from a list of available businesses that the individual exercised his or her right under privacy laws not to receive communications from the notified business. It was intended to cover those organizations excluded from the DNCL. Like the DNCL, iOptOut.ca was dependent on citizens lodging complaints on the DNCL site or phone number in order to bring charges against telemarketers under telemarketing laws. Due to its overwhelming popularity, iOptOut.ca is currently being upgraded and improved.
The Canadian Marketing Association offers a free "Do Not Contact Service". The service is limited to screening telemarketing from participating companies only. Registration can be sought by mail, phone or online at their website http://www.the-cma.org. After registration, it takes six weeks to be effective and lasts for three years.
