Question 25068 — consumption

Summary

Ms. Catherine Kamowski draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Minister of the Economy and Finance and the Minister of Action and Public Accounts, responsible for digital affairs, to the sanction of the usurpation of telephone numbers for the purposes of cold calling. Canvassing companies sometimes use telephone numbers that do not belong to them to identify themselves to the person called. The European regulation of 27 April 2016 on the protection and use of data known as GDPR considers this practice as non-consented use of data and, therefore, in contravention of it. In addition, the use of a third party's telephone number to identify the caller, whether this use is consented to or not, allows unscrupulous marketers to circumvent “Bloctel” type blocking devices. Finally, subscribers whose number has been spoofed could see themselves involved in a possible scam for which they would obviously not be responsible. She therefore asks what the Government is considering in this area and whether any developments towards better protection of consumers and user data are planned. She also questions him about the need to complete the law on this subject and thanks him for his response.
