UOKiK: Netia called consumers without their consent

Telecom operator Netia telephoned consumers to offer them contracts, although it did not have their consent to do so, the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) has said. The company has avoided a financial penalty because it has committed to changing the rules of cooperation with partners, and consumers can now count on compensation. “Netia bought ready-made databases with phone numbers, but that does not absolve it from liability,” Marek Niechciał, the president of UOKiK, said.
