Installing an anti-spam call protection app on a smartphone can noticeably cut the nuisance of unsolicited calls. This practical step is highlighted by a digital security expert who emphasized both technology and awareness as essential parts of defending personal information.
Beyond simply installing the protection app, the expert advised reaching out to the appropriate government watchdog. The agency handles complaints about violations of personal data laws and acts against companies that use citizens’ confidential information to push advertising without consent. This path helps create a safer digital environment and reinforces user rights. Note: citation from Lenta.ru
The expert also stressed the importance of actively managing consent. People should verify that their data may be used by a given company and avoid assuming that consent is automatic. An example cited was entering a phone number on a website to obtain a discount, which can lead to unexpected marketing calls later. Note: citation from Lenta.ru
For those who want fewer persistent calls, the guidance is simple: evaluate whether the discount is worth sharing personal details and permission for contact. If a person does not wish to be contacted repeatedly, they should consider opting out and revisiting consent settings. The expert underscored that individuals retain the right to request deletion of data or to stop its use for marketing purposes. Note: citation from Lenta.ru
