I have previously actively opted out of telephone contacts from
Amnesty (I am a member) by telling them specifically that I do not
wish to be contacted, but have still received the letter asking me to
actively confirm my opt out again.
How often must I expect to have to confirm my opt out in this way?

Adam,
I think it is reasonable for an organisation, that we have subscribed
to, to
verify that our TPS registration applies to them. After all, the TPS
is
unavailable to offer us an exemption list which many would use for
those
organisations we have an interest in.

Hello List,
Your views please.
I'm a member of Amnesty International, and received a letter from them
this
morning. It states that they are aware that I have registered with
the TPS,
but they:
"...hope that as a supporter you will still wish to hear about our
campaigns...
I will be very grateful if you could let us know your views on this
matter.
If
you do not wish us to contact you by telephone in the future please
tick the
box on the slip below and return it to us in the enclosed FREEPOST
envelope
[...] If we do not hear from you by the end of June we may telephone
you in
the
next couple of months with news of our campaigns and fundraising
programmes."
Whilst I support AI's cause and would not want to stir any trouble,
surely
this
is a breach of the DPA 1998? It certainly flies in the face of
previously
expressed wishes not to be contacted for any marketing reasons.
Moreover, i
would have thought that no reply at all can NOT be taken as implied
consent.
Look forward to your input.
Cheers
