6 #16PACE FCC 2015 Declaratory Ruling KEY POINTS Definition of “Called Party” – (i.e. reassigned phones) –‘Intended recipient’ of a call/text does not matter –TCPA requires consent of current subscriber (i.e. current owner/subscriber) –Autodialing a wrong or reassigned phone number poses risk Revocation of Consent –Prior express consent required to autodial/text a consumer with information –A consumer may revoke consent at any time, through any reasonable means Definition of An Autodialer –Basic function is to dial a lot of numbers quickly without human intervention –Equipment that “has the capacity to store or produce, and dial random or sequential numbers, even if it is not presently used for that purpose” Limited Exemptions –Limited exceptions for time-sensitive financial/healthcare calls or emergencies Changes Afoot?

7 MANAGING YOUR TCPA RISK

8 #16PACE Key Questions for Your Business 1.What percent of your customer phones are landline vs. wireless 2.What % of customer phone numbers have been reassigned or were entered incorrectly? 3.How frequently should you monitor for reassigned phones? 4.How are you following up with your consumers? Autodialing? Texting? 5.How are you storing consent? Copyright © 2016 Neustar, Inc. All Rights Reserved 8

9 #16PACE Why consent is not enough: Reassigned numbers pose risk Reassigned phone numbers pose a TCPA risk for callers/texters. 45 Million people changed their phone number last year When a phone number is reassigned, the consent on file is no longer valid. Consent is needed from the new subscriber/customary user of that phone number. The FCC identified a number of industry best practices including the use of third- party data providers to identify reassigned phone numbers. Copyright © 2016 Neustar, Inc. All Rights Reserved 9 “Callers have a number of options available that, over time, may permit them to learn of reassigned numbers. For example, at least one database can help determine whether a number has been reassigned.” The FCC Order Referencing Neustar Services

10 #16PACE Best Practices to Help Mitigate TCPA Risk Copyright © 2016 Neustar, Inc. All Rights Reserved 10 Proper Consent Ensure you capture and maintain consent 1 Identify Phone Type  Landline vs. Wireless vs. VOIP  Correct for Porting 3 Confirm Subscriber  Ensure phone not reassigned  Repeat verification every 30 days 4 Auto-Dialer? Understand the dialing technologies within your organization 2

11 #16PACE Key Questions When assessing Vendors 1.Be very skeptical of any vendor that talks about 100% coverage. 2.Understand limitations to vendor’s approach of identifying reassigned phone numbers. Every approach has limitations. 3.Like minded references are important. Not all companies manage TCPA the same. 4.Understand service response times and the impact on your operations? 5.Understand how the vendor asses OTT VoIP’s, Porting, incorrectly initially submitted data, family plans and business phones 6.Test, test and always test Copyright © 2016 Neustar, Inc.
