Jason Joseph Gambling (“Mr Gambling”) failed, , to ensure that The Legend Alliance Limited (“TLA”) complied with its responsibilities under the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (“PECR”) from at least 05 February 2016 to 21 May 2016 by failing to ensure it had consent to make marketing calls or include the necessary information in those calls. As a consequence Mr Gambling caused TLA to breach PECR and put TLA at the risk of a financial penalty, in that :<br>On 13January 2016 the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”) contacted TLA to request information about their processing of personal data….. On 09 February 2016 Mr Gambling confirmed to them that he was aware of their guidance on compliance with PECR.<br>Between 05 February 2016 and 21 May 2016, the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”) received at least 133 complaints from individuals who alleged that they had received unsolicited automated marketing calls, in breach of Regulation 19 of PECR (“Reg 19”).<br>The ICO’s enquiries revealed that the telephone numbers, which were the subject of complaints, were sublet to TLA from a Telecom platform. The Telecom platform has confirmed to the ICO that between 05 February 2016 and 21 May 2016, the telephone number range which TLA sublet was used to send up to 21,988,718 automated marketing calls.<br>To comply with Reg 19 TLA was required to confirm that the intended recipients of the calls consented to receive marketing calls from TLA. TLA has failed to provide satisfactory evidence that it had obtained such consent before making the 21,988,718 calls.<br>Regulation 24 of PECR (“Reg 24”) requires that automated marketing calls include information to identify the caller. The complainants confirmed that TLA failed to identify itself as the maker of the calls and consequently the calls complained of breached Reg 24 .<br>On 12 January 2017, the ICO issued a letter to TLA informing it that it had concerns about TLA’s compliance with PECR and that it had commenced an investigation.<br>On 01 February 2017 , TLA was placed into voluntary liquidation, prior to the ICO completing its investigation.<br>The maximum fine the ICO can issue is £500,000 and an Enforcement Report drafted by the ICO on 14 February 2017 recommended that the breach of regulations warranted a fine of £400,000 due to Mr Gambling’s history within the industry and the volumes of calls and complaints.

Why these appointments?

Companies House does not publish a reliable identifier for a person. We group appointments by name and date of birth, so this list may be incomplete — the same person can appear under a different spelling or with no date of birth recorded.

Records that may be the same person 2

These are separate Companies House records that share details with this one. Companies House does not publish a reliable person identifier, so they may or may not be the same individual. Check before relying on this.
