Doha, Qatar - The National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA) has reminded citizens that they retain control over their consent for receiving promotional messages. If individuals no longer wish to be contacted, they can request senders to cease their efforts or file a complaint with the Personal Data Privacy Protection Department, according to the agency.
The NCSA advises checking one's consent status and whether they agreed to receive promotional messages. Organizations are required to obtain explicit consent prior to sending direct marketing messages via email, SMS, or calls. If an organization fails to address a complaint, individuals are instructed to access the agency's guidelines and complaint form on their website.
To submit a complaint, one must complete the provided form, ensuring all information is reviewed before submission. The completed form should then be sent to the Personal Data Privacy Protection Department for review and subsequent action.
