Bloctel

France's national do-not-call register; telemarketers must screen their lists against it before calling.

Full definition

Bloctel (bloctel.gouv.fr) is France's official telemarketing opt-out register. Once you enroll your numbers, companies are legally required to scrub their calling lists against Bloctel, re-checking at least monthly, before running prospecting campaigns; calling a registered consumer can draw CNIL or DGCCRF enforcement. Bloctel is the French counterpart to a national do-not-call list and the first step French residents take against unsolicited sales calls, complementing the absolute, free GDPR right to object to commercial prospecting at any time.
