PECR Policy Template
Every marketing email you send. Every cookie you drop. Every call your team makes. All regulated. All auditable. The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 sit alongside UK GDPR — and the ICO enforces them separately, with fines up to £500,000 per violation. Most FCA-regulated firms focus on GDPR and treat PECR as an afterthought. The ICO's enforcement record says that's a mistake. Unsolicited calls, invalid cookie consent, misdirected SMS campaigns, and rogue appointed representatives are all live enforcement risks.
What's included:
PECR Regulations 6–24 full coverage: individual vs corporate subscriber rules mapped by channel — with email, SMS, voice call, and fax marketing consent requirements, soft opt-in conditions, and documentation
Telephone Preference Service and Corporate TPS monthly screening obligations with a 48-hour suppression list update requirement
Cookie governance framework: strictly necessary, performance, and marketing — with Consent Management Platform requirements (no pre-ticked boxes, one-click withdrawal) and third-party cookie and pixel privacy impact assessment
Traffic and location data: permitted processing purposes, maximum retention periods, and user control mechanisms — with communications security covering encryption, intrusion detection, and PECR Section 5
PECR and UK GDPR dual compliance mapping: Article 95 interaction analysis, DPIA triggers for high-risk marketing activities, and 72-hour ICO breach notification procedures
Appointed representative PECR obligations: quarterly attestation framework, third-party vetting, audit rights, and indemnification requirements
KPI dashboard with monthly and weekly monitoring targets — plus product assessment template and PECR compliance checklist
+ much more
Who is this for?
Compliance Officers, marketing teams, DPOs, and IT security leads at FCA-regulated firms conducting any form of electronic marketing, operating websites with tracking, or managing appointed representatives.
How it works
Step 1 — Read it. Every section exists for a reason, grounded in a specific regulatory obligation.
Step 2 — Understand it. Map the content against your current practices. Identify where you're strong and where gaps exist.
Step 3 — Make it yours. Tailor the language to reflect how your organisation actually operates. A policy that sounds like your firm is a policy your people will follow.
Step 4 — Take ownership. Assign clear accountability — Board approval, named SMF holder, designated policy owner. A policy without an owner is a liability, not an asset.
Step 5 — Operationalise it. Embed the policy into your governance calendar, training programme, and annual review cycle. This is where compliance becomes culture.
