Compliance Information

Please read before relying on any result from this platform

This page explains what a DNC Scrub result does and does not tell you. It is general information, not legal advice. Consult qualified legal counsel about your specific telemarketing compliance obligations before making calls.

What a result means

Every check against DNC Scrub — whether a single search, a bulk upload, or an API call — tells you one thing: whether the number you checked appears in the DNC dataset currently loaded on this platform, as of the dataset version and timestamp shown with your result.

What "NO MATCH FOUND" does not mean

A number not appearing in the loaded dataset is not a guarantee that it is legally safe to call. It does not account for:

State-specific do-not-call registries beyond the dataset loaded on this platform
A called party's do-not-call request made directly to you or your organization (an internal DNC list)
Whether you have the prior express written consent required for certain call types
Litigator or attorney-general do-not-call lists
Any updates to DNC data that occurred after the dataset version shown with your result was loaded
Time-of-day calling restrictions or other rules unrelated to DNC registry status

Your responsibility

You are solely responsible for ensuring your calling practices comply with all applicable law, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR), and applicable state telemarketing statutes — and for maintaining your own internal do-not-call list. DNC Scrub is a screening tool to support that compliance program, not a substitute for it.

Dataset accuracy and freshness

The DNC dataset loaded on this platform is only as current as its most recent import. Your account's dashboard and every search result show the dataset version and import date used for that check, so you always know exactly what data a result reflects.

Data protection

The underlying DNC dataset is commercially licensed and is not exported or made available to customers in bulk. You receive only the results you are authorized to receive for numbers you check — never the raw dataset itself.
