When you talk to a business representative on the phone, chances are you’ll hear an advisory that the call is being recorded.
On some calls, however, you don’t hear that warning – or don’t hear it soon enough – and your voice gets recorded without your consent.
These illegal recordings are more than just an annoyance. They’re a serious violation of your privacy rights.
The law is on your side
In California, it’s illegal for callers to record or intercept conversations without your permission. If you’ve been a victim of an illegal call recording, you could be entitled to compensation of $5,000 or more for each occurrence.
Our firm recently published a free white paper and SlideShare presentation discussing this important topic, including key issues such as:
- When these illegal call recordings are most likely to happen
- How to know if you’ve been a victim
- What to do if you suspect a violation
