Compliance and regulation

# Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)

The TCPA is a federal law that limits telemarketing calls, texts, autodialed calls, and prerecorded voice messages. It requires proper consent for many marketing calls and gives consumers a right to sue for violations.

## Why it matters

The TCPA is one of the main rules for phone sales. It affects dialers, text messages, prerecorded calls, and the consent a company must collect. The FCC writes rules under the law, and courts have shaped how it applies. Penalties can be high, which is why agencies train agents on consent and recordkeeping. Epic Life's lead platform is built for TCPA compliance. Families who get unwanted calls can report them to the FCC or FTC.
