This is the best alternative to the Robinson list so that they do not disturb you with advertising

As our digital life is becoming more and more common, the swindle attempts or contacts to offer services that we have not asked to become more normal in Europe. It is not only calls for companies that want us to hire their services, but but discomfort every hour And even some calls which are directly criminals.

To try to mitigate this situation, the Robinson list was created in our countryThis allowed Spanish citizens to register so as not to receive unleashed commercial calls. In recent years, this has already been the only option available has already helped them, but it is true that there are still many companies that do not take it into account, despite the fines that it can collide it.

Now a new option called Stop the advertising list That with the approval of the Spanish data protection agency, it seeks to create a database with people who do not want to receive advertising not only by phone, but also by other contact methods.

This proposal is similar to the Robinson list, but it has some additional advantages. It is promoted to the Spanish association for digital privacy and We can indicate social media profiles in addition to the phone number or emails in which we do not want to receive direct advertising.

Even It is possible to request not to receive advertising via messaging applications, such as WhatsAppSomething that is increasingly common because we use this application to communicate with companies and not only with individuals. In Europe, WhatsApp has become the default contact application.

This new proposal occurs two years of effort so that the Spanish data protection agency gives the approach as an association for the restriction of advertising delivery to any user who has registered on his website. Technically Companies must consult this list to find out who they can send advertisingunder the threat of fines according to current legislation.

To register in this service, which is free for individuals, we can register on their website and add both the phone number and the emails or the social networks that we want companies to send us Not to send us advertising. Yes indeed, We can take up to 30 days to see the results Since this is the deadline that the law gives companies to erase users who do not wish to be contacted for advertising purposes.
