What Is Call Recording Consent? Definition

Why it matters

Because insurance calls often cross state lines, agents usually tell every caller the call is recorded. This approach is safe in both one-party and all-party states. Recording without needed consent can lead to civil or criminal penalties. Families can ask whether a call is recorded and why, and can choose to end the call. Agents should follow their agency policy and check the rules for the state of each party.
