Exam CIPP-US topic 1 question 45 discussion

The correct answer is A. For-profit organizations and for-profit telefunders regarding charitable solicitations. Reference: The IAPP textbook, U.S. Private-Sector Privacy, 4th Edition, 2024, Section 11.1.2.1 Exceptions to the DNC Rules: "DNC rules apply to for-profit organizations and cover charitable solicitations placed by for-profit telefunders. DNC rules do not apply to: - Nonprofits calling on their own behalf - Calls to customers with an existing relationship within the last 18 months - Inbound calls, provided that there is no “upsell” of additional products or services - Most business-to-business calls" I'm not sure why the author selected choice D as the correct answer. The TSR specifically applies to for-profit telemarketing activities. Not-for-profit organizations are generally not subject to the TSR, except when for-profit telefunders are involved.

A is the right answer

Answer A is correct. IAPP book page 278

Some types of businesses are not covered by the TSR even though they conduct telemarketing campaigns that may involve some interstate telephone calls to sell goods or services. These three types of entities are not subject to the FTC’s jurisdiction, and are not covered by the TSR: 1. banks, federal credit unions, and federal savings and loans. 2. common carriers — such as long-distance telephone companies and airlines — when they are engaging in common carrier activity. 3. NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS — those entities that are not organized to carry on business for their own, or their members’, profit. https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/complying-telemarketing-sales-rule#comply
