Key Considerations
What to know about EU outbound calling
GDPR & Consent
GDPR requires a lawful basis for processing personal data. Consent requirements for direct marketing vary by channel and member state. DialerBee tracks consent with full provenance.
ePrivacy Directive
The ePrivacy Directive (and member state implementations) governs electronic communications including outbound calls. Rules vary by country.
Calling Hours
Calling-hour restrictions vary by EU member state. DialerBee supports per-country timezone-aware calling windows with automatic enforcement.
DNC Registries
Many EU member states maintain national DNC registries (e.g., Robinson lists). DialerBee supports checks against internal and external DNC lists.
Additional Considerations
Data processing, recording, and caller ID
Data Processing
GDPR mandates data minimization, purpose limitation, and storage limits. DialerBee supports configurable retention policies and data export.
Recording Consent
Call recording in the EU typically requires notification and may require consent. DialerBee supports configurable recording announcements.
Caller ID / CLI
EU regulations require presentation of valid caller ID. DialerBee manages CLI assignment and local presence per member state.
Retry Rules
Excessive contact attempts can constitute harassment under member state laws. DialerBee enforces configurable retry limits.
Data Subject Rights
GDPR grants data subjects rights to access, erasure, and portability. DialerBee supports data export and deletion workflows.
Cross-Border Transfers
Transferring personal data outside the EU requires safeguards. DialerBee supports EU-hosted deployments and data residency controls.
