TATT: Protect client info

The statement said providers must comply with the terms of their concession, the Telecommunications Act and all laws of TT.

“This includes a responsibility to protect their customers personal information and their right to privacy as provided for in the Data Protection Act and the concession and/or as found in the respective subscriber’s contract of service.” TATT said disclosure of a client’s information can cause him/her significant harm.

“As such the Authority seeks to protect customers of public telecommunications services from such breaches of their rights and to hold authorised providers culpable pursuant to the law.”
