Telephone numbers in Trade Register to be shielded in future

It has probably already happened to you regularly that you are approached by telephone by salespeople, unsolicited - and above all, unwanted. They obtain your details through your registration in the Trade Register. Although unsolicited telephone sales have been banned since 2021, they still happen regularly. Therefore, at the request of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Chamber of Commerce has decided to shield telephone numbers of entrepreneurs in the Trade Register from now on. This measure anticipates amendments to the Trade Register Act that are in the pipeline to combat misuse of data in the Trade Register.
