TPS/CTPS Screening & Telephone Preference Service Checks
AccuraData provides professional TPS and CTPS checking services designed to help organisations maintain compliant telemarketing and outbound calling activity across the UK.
Our TPS/CTPS screening services help businesses identify telephone numbers registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) and Corporate Telephone Preference Service (CTPS), supporting more responsible and compliant marketing activity.
We help organisations reduce compliance risk, improve data quality, and support lawful outbound communication by screening business and consumer telephone data against relevant suppression registers.
What Are TPS and CTPS?
The Telephone Preference Service (TPS) and Corporate Telephone Preference Service (CTPS) are official UK opt-out registers that allow individuals and businesses to reduce unsolicited sales and marketing calls.
The TPS applies to consumers and residential telephone numbers, while the CTPS applies to businesses and corporate telephone numbers that do not wish to receive unsolicited telemarketing calls.
Organisations conducting outbound telemarketing activity should regularly screen telephone data against TPS and CTPS registers to support compliance with UK marketing regulations and reduce the risk of non-compliant calling activity.
What is TPS Checking?
TPS checking is the process of data cleansing numbers against the Telephone Preference Service register to identify numbers that have opted out of unsolicited sales and marketing calls.
Businesses carrying out outbound telemarketing campaigns use TPS checking services to help reduce compliance risk and improve the quality of telemarketing activity.
Regular TPS screening helps organisations maintain cleaner telephone databases while supporting more responsible outbound communication practices.
What is CTPS Checking?
CTPS checking is the process of screening business telephone numbers against the Corporate Telephone Preference Service register to identify organisations that have opted out of unsolicited telemarketing calls.
