About the Telephone Privacy List
How the Indiana Telephone Privacy List Works
Although residents can add their telephone numbers at any time, the Do Not Call list is updated quarterly for telemarketers and the public by the attorney general's office. If telemarketers call any number registered on the most recent quarterly list, they face a variety of penalties.
Personal information regarding residents on the list is considered confidential, used only for managerial purposes.
Who is permitted to call you—and who isn't
Most telemarketers are forbidden from calling numbers on the Do Not Call list; however there are four exceptions. The law allows licensed insurance agents and licensed real estate agents to call numbers registered on the list, as well as charitable organizations and newspapers that use their own employees or volunteers.
The Do Not Call list is updated four times per year. You can expect a reduction in telemarketer calls after the next quarterly update, not necessarily right after registering your number.
