Registering on this database will mean that you will not
be contacted by members of the DMA (Direct Marketing
Association of Southern Africa).
The DCM (Don't Contact Me Database) helps you to make
sure your address, email address, telephone and cell number are no longer available
to organisations, who are members of the DMA, who want to make offers and send information
that you do not wish to receive. You can also do this by contacting companies directly
and asking them not to contact you.
Before you register however...
You should reflect on the fact that registering may well prevent you from receiving
information which you would really like to have - thereby cutting you off from relevant
and worthwhile opportunities. For example charities use telemarketing as an economical
way to raise awareness and much needed support.
If you are happy to receive direct marketing contacts from some companies but not
others, contact the companies who you do not wish to hear from and ask them to remove
your details from their contact lists. Registering your details on the DCM could
stop all contacts from all companies registered with the DMA, including charities
and voluntary organisations who you might want to support.
Registration requirements
When you register you will be required to enter a valid ID number and email address.
On completion of the registration you will receive an email requesting that you
confirm that you want to be on the "Don't Contact Me Database" and once we have
received your confirmation you will then be registered. If you do not respond within
5 days your details will be deleted.
To de-register, contact the DMA on 0861 362 362.
