Do Not Call (DNC) Policy
Last Updated: December 11, 2025
This Do Not Call ("DNC") Policy applies to MVA Apply and its website (collectively, the "Website"). This policy describes our commitment to respecting consumer preferences regarding telemarketing calls and text messages, and our compliance with federal and state Do Not Call regulations.
1. Overview of Do Not Call Regulations
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), 47 U.S.C. § 227, and the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Do Not Call Registry establish regulations governing telemarketing calls and text messages. MVA Apply is committed to full compliance with all federal DNC regulations and applicable state laws across all 50 states.
The DNC Registry maintained by the FTC allows consumers to register their phone numbers to limit telemarketing calls. Additionally, many states have enacted their own DNC laws that may provide additional protections beyond federal requirements.
2. Federal National Do Not Call Registry
MVA Apply complies with the National Do Not Call Registry maintained by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). This registry allows consumers to register their phone numbers to opt out of telemarketing calls from most commercial entities.
