In our last entry we mentioned a number of projects that we would be launching once the general election was over and we emerged from purdah. We are now at that point, and the first of these projects will be launched into beta tomorrow.
StayPrivate.org is designed to make it easier to reduce the amount of unwanted marketing material you receive. In this initial version we have taken the Telephone, Mail and Baby Mail Preference Services from the Direct Marketing Association and merged them into one submission form.
Sign up once and StayPrivate.org will do the hard work of submitting you to each of these services. There is also the option of a user account to make it easier to submit altered details in future and a newsletter so we can keep you up-to-date with developments.
We’ll post more information about the site tomorrow morning following its launch. Until then, keep an eye on this blog and StayPrivate.org.

Hi Leonard,
Thanks for getting in touch. The best way of stopping marketing calls is to register with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). This is a free service.
We’ve just launched our http://StayPrivate.org website which includes the TPS, so you can use that to sign up for it. You can read more information about the TPS on their website at http://www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps/faq/
I hope this helps.

After seeing your representative on Working Lunch we are really interested in your organisation. We have been part of the Telephone/Mail Preference Scheme for some years but are finding that heaps of mail etc still gets through. I would appreciate information on what the next stage would be.

I would like to sign up when the site is up and running. We are so fed up with stock brokers and other cold callers.

Like many others, I am finding that, despite the Telephone Preference Service, n increasing number of unwanted calls and mail is being received.I should appreciate being part of your ‘blocking’ service
