Voice
Logging:
Notification Requirements by State
May/June, 2002 (updated December 2002)
Legal issues regarding the recording of phone calls
must be considered before embarking on voice logging. This varies on a state-by-state basis. Some states and countries require "one-party
notification" in which only one of the two individuals needs to be made
aware that the call is being recorded; other states require two-party
notification. Check
with an attorney before proceeding. (At least thirty-seven US States, the District of Columbia, the US
Federal law, Canada, and England only require one-party notification.
Note that there is some disagreement over the determination of the
requirements for a few states.)
(Also,
see voice logging article, legal
considerations and the vendor comparison
chart.)
