The voice on the other end says they&#8217;re from &#8220;Dynata&#8221; and asks if you have a few minutes for a survey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this sounds familiar, you&#8217;re not alone. Dynata calls millions of people every year. Most of them have no idea who Dynata is or why they&#8217;re being contacted. And no, this isn\u2019t just about people in the USA. Dynata operates globally, targeting numerous people outside the States.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this guide, I\u2019ve explained exactly what Dynata does, why they have your number, and how to stop the calls for good.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The guide also highlights information on what to do if the calls keep coming despite you asking them to stop.

It&#8217;s a real business, not a scam. It was founded as Survey Sampling International (SSI) in the 1970s; the company rebranded to Dynata in 2019 after merging with <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/sigs.researchnow.com\/EU_Emails\/UK\/14Apr\/Panel%20IE%20Landing%20Page\/About_Us_Factsheet_IE.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research Now<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dynata describes itself as &#8220;the world&#8217;s largest first-party data company for insights, activation, and measurement.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0In plain words, they\u2019re collecting data by surveying people. Once collected, they sell those insights to businesses, political groups, and other organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company emerged from a prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2024, which means it restructured its debt but continues operating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All in all, Dynata is a legitimate business and has been around for years. However, it still doesn\u2019t make their constant calls any less annoying.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CWhy_is_Dynata_Calling_Me%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>\u201cWhy is Dynata Calling Me?\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people globally have looked this up because the calls go overboard. Dynata calls because you&#8217;ve been selected to participate in a research survey for one of their clients. They want to ask about things like:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your demographic details (age, gender, location, income).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopping habits and consumer preferences.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customer satisfaction with products or services.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Political or social opinions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Media consumption, like what you watch, read, or listen to.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, most people don&#8217;t realize something: you probably didn&#8217;t give Dynata your number directly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dynata has your number because they build their calling lists from data brokers, people-search sites, public records, and online signups. Your number is out there in some form or another, and Dynata found it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In reality, this isn\u2019t illegal, but it does mean you can end up on a survey list without ever signing up for anything.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legal_Pressure_on_Dynata_%E2%80%93_You_Have_the_Upper_Hand\"><\/span>Legal Pressure on Dynata &#8211; You Have the Upper Hand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no saying whether other guides on Dynata have mentioned the legal aspects of things. Most may have only informed you of ways to call Dynata and ask to be removed. That is good advice, but it leaves out an important piece of context.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dynata has faced multiple lawsuits under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). It\u2019s a federal law that restricts automated calls and texts to cell phones.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>CASE 1 &#8211;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In one class action complaint filed in Connecticut, a plaintiff alleged that Dynata sent autodialed calls without prior express written consent. The complaint described Dynata&#8217;s calling technology as &#8220;capable of generating thousands of similar calls per day.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>CASE 2 &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In another case in Texas, a plaintiff alleged that Dynata violated the TCPA by calling a number registered on the Do Not Call list. They failed to maintain a written policy for sustaining a do-not-call list.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why does this matter for you?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It matters because it shows that Dynata&#8217;s calling practices have drawn legal scrutiny.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you\u2019ve asked to be removed and the calls continue, you have more leverage than you might think. You can file complaints with the FTC or your state attorney general.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Documenting each call, date, time, and number gives you evidence if you need to escalate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Stop_Dynata_Calls_3_Ways\"><\/span>How to Stop Dynata Calls (3 Ways)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have three main options to prevent Dynata calls. I&#8217;ll walk through each one:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_1_%E2%80%93_Ask_Dynata_to_Remove_You_Direct_Solution\"><\/span>Method 1 &#8211; Ask Dynata to Remove You (Direct Solution)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is by far the simplest and most direct approach. Contact Dynata and request placement on their no-contact list. Here are their details:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Phone (North America)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 1-833-757-1746<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Phone (Outside North America):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 1-801-341-0764<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Email<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><a href=\"mailto:privacy@dynata.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">privacy@dynata.com<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Mail<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Dynata, LLC, 4 Research Drive, Shelton, CT 06484, USA<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you call, be clear with your request. Say: &#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I want to be placed on your no-contact list. Please stop calling me for surveys<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This process usually works. However, try to follow up after a week or two to confirm you&#8217;re actually on the list. Sometimes requests get lost or take time to process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_2_%E2%80%93_Block_Dynatas_Contact_Number\"><\/span>Method 2 &#8211; Block Dynata\u2019s Contact Number<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can try blocking the specific number that called you. However, there\u2019s one issue. Dynata uses many different numbers. People try to block one, and another takes its place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is why method one is considered a useful option. Even though blocking them seems great in the moment, it won&#8217;t stop the calls long-term. With that said, consider it a supplement, not a solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_3_%E2%80%93_Use_a_Data_Removal_Service\"><\/span>Method 3 &#8211; Use a Data Removal Service<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, there\u2019s the hands-on approach of using a data removal service. If you don&#8217;t want to handle manual requests and follow-ups, use a data removal service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These services contact data brokers and people-search sites on your behalf and ask them to delete your information.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Do_If_the_Calls_Keep_Coming\"><\/span>What to Do If the Calls Keep Coming<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019ve tried everything and the calls keep coming, here\u2019s what you need to do:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Document_Everything\"><\/span>Document Everything<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is important. You need to start a log of each call. Note the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Date and time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The phone number that called<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What the caller said, just in case you did answer.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The date you submitted your removal request.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This log becomes evidence if you need to file a complaint.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"File_a_Complaint_with_the_FTC\"><\/span>File a Complaint with the FTC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Federal Trade Commission accepts complaints about unwanted calls at<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/reportfraud.ftc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reportfraud.ftc.gov<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Complaints help regulators track patterns and take action against companies that ignore removal requests.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"File_a_Complaint_with_the_FCC\"><\/span>File a Complaint with the FCC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Federal Communications Commission handles complaints about robocalls and unwanted telemarketing.

This is especially effective if you live in a state with strong consumer protection laws.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consider_Legal_Action_Only_for_Serious_Cases\"><\/span>Consider Legal Action (Only for Serious Cases)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the calls are persistent and you have documented evidence, you may have grounds for a TCPA claim. The TCPA allows individuals to sue for damages. However, this isn\u2019t a step to take lightly, but it&#8217;s an option if other methods fail.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legitimate_Dynata_vs_Scam_Dynata_%E2%80%93_Know_the_Difference\"><\/span>Legitimate Dynata vs Scam Dynata &#8211; Know the Difference<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dynata is a real and legitimate service\/company. However, because it\u2019s real, scammers often use their name, creating a fake version of it.

This is the same tactic used by hackers impersonating banks. Dynata&#8217;s legitimate surveys don&#8217;t require your Social Security number, bank details, or remote access to your computer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you receive a suspicious text or call, ensure you <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/link-checker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">don\u2019t click any links<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, don\u2019t reply, report it to the FTC, and then delete it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<div class=\"blog_faq\">\n                <div class=\"faq\">\n            <h3 class=\"faq_title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Dynata_a_scam\"><\/span>Is Dynata a scam? <i class=\"fa fa-plus\"><\/i><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3> \n                        <div class=\"faq_description\">\n                <p>No, it\u2019s not. Dynata is a legitimate market research company based in Connecticut. However, scammers sometimes impersonate Dynata to trick people into sharing personal information. For this, always check the URL of the company link before clicking on it. Also, if you\u2019re getting calls from the scam Dynata, ensure you understand that they don\u2019t ask for passwords, social security numbers, and other sensitive data.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                \n                <div class=\"faq\">\n            <h3 class=\"faq_title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_Dynata_keep_calling_me\"><\/span>Why does Dynata keep calling me? <i class=\"fa fa-plus\"><\/i><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3> \n                        <div class=\"faq_description\">\n                <p>Dynata has your phone number in its database.
