Call Recording Laws by State & Country
Whether you can legally record a call depends on where the people on it are. This guide breaks down the rules by jurisdiction so your sales and support teams record compliantly.
One-party consent
One participant (which can be you) may record the call.
All-party consent
Every participant must agree before the call is recorded.
GDPR + notice
In the EU, recording needs a lawful basis and participants must be informed.
In the US, federal law allows one-party consent, but stricter states require all-party consent — and on interstate calls the stricter rule generally wins. Across the EU, the GDPR governs every recording on top of national law.
Capture every call — compliantly
Teneks records, transcribes, and analyzes 100% of your calls with recording notices, access controls, and retention settings built in. Reviewing every call only works when you record it the right way.
This page is general information, not legal advice. Call recording and data protection rules change and depend on your specific situation. Confirm the current rules with a qualified lawyer in the relevant jurisdiction before recording.
