Compliance with sales call recording laws is an essential measure for protecting your business and clientele. We provide an exhaustive overview of some crucial regulations to be aware of, and explain how Momentum's Native Consent Collection bolsters your compliance efforts.
A Closer Look at Sales Call Recording Laws and Regulations
United States
State Laws:
One-Party Consent: Some states adhere to the federal one-party consent rule, which dictates that only one party taking part in the call needs to approve the recording.
All-Party Consent: Conversely, other states necessitate consent from all parties involved in the call.
The following states mandate Two-party or All-Party Consent: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Washington. By default, it can be inferred that the remaining states require One-Party Consent.
Canada
All-Party Consent:
In Canada, each participant in a call must give consent before the commencement of recording. The objective of the recording should be clarified to all participants.
Australia
Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) Guidelines:
It's mandatory to inform all parties at the onset of a call if it's going to be recorded or monitored. This gives everyone an option to terminate the call or request a transfer to a non-recorded line (if accessible). In Queensland, recording a telephone conversation when you're a participant is lawful. For a comprehensive understanding of Australia’s call monitoring guidelines, refer to the surveillance and monitoring policy from the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
European Union
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
Imposes stringent conditions for the accumulation and processing of personal data, including call recordings. GDPR mandates explicit consent from all parties engaged in the call.
California
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):
The CCPA provides guidelines on data privacy for residents of California. Several specific provisions exist for the recording of calls, making obtaining consent critical.
