==== Restrictions ====
Telemarketing restrictions in the UK are in place to protect consumers from unwanted and intrusive marketing calls. The use of predictive dialers, which are computer programs that dial telephone numbers automatically and connect the calls to an available agent, can make compliance with these restrictions more challenging. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's independent regulator for data protection and privacy, has issued guidelines on the use of predictive dialers for telemarketing, which require explicit consent from individuals, clear information about the purpose of the call and the business making the call, an option for individuals to opt-out of future calls, and an accurate and up-to-date call list. Additionally, businesses must ensure that their predictive dialer does not generate abandoned calls at a rate higher than 3%<ref>{{Cite web |last=Schotel |first=Spencer |date=February 3, 2023 |title=Telemarketing Restrictions in the UK with a Dialer |url=https://www.xlmg.co.uk/post/telemarketing-restrictions-in-the-uk-with-a-dialer |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.ph/cxMfE |archive-date=February 27, 2023 |access-date=February 27, 2023 |website=XL Marketing}}</ref> of live calls and must comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) when processing personal data for marketing purposes. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in severe penalties, including fines and damage to a business's reputation.
