Recording consent

AI disclosure and call recording consent for phone workflows.

A practical buyer guide for deciding when to disclose AI, when to ask for recording consent, and when callers reach a human instead.

Buyer signal

Notice

before capture

Disclosure first

Callers understand when they are speaking with an AI receptionist and how to reach a human when the call requires it.

Ready script examples

The policy includes starting language for AI-only calls, AI with recording, opt-out, emergency, and sensitive-topic paths in English, French, and Dutch.

Human fallback

Sensitive, regulated, angry, uncertain, or high-value calls need a transfer or callback path instead of forcing automation.

Buyer checklist

Consent questions buyers answer before launch.

A strong setup makes the exact caller experience, consent language, and fallback behavior visible before live calls are routed.

Topic
Havio control
Buyer check
AI identity
Use a short greeting such as: "Hi, I am Havio, an AI receptionist for this business."
Does the message fit the brand while staying clear enough for callers?
Recording notice
Where recording/transcription is enabled, use caller language that says the call may be recorded or transcribed to help the team follow up.
Does the notice match the regions where the business and callers operate?
Caller choice
Offer transfer, callback, or voicemail paths when callers do not want to continue with AI or recording.
What happens when the caller asks for a person, refuses recording, or has an emergency?
Multilingual scripts
Prepare English, French, and Dutch variants before launch when the workflow may receive multilingual callers.
Are the translated notices approved by the business before real callers hear them?
Sensitive topics
Route medical, legal, financial, urgent, or safety-related calls using strict fallback rules.
Which questions never get answered without human review?

FAQ

Is this legal advice?

Can Havio disclose AI without recording calls?

Yes. AI disclosure and recording consent are separate decisions. A workflow can disclose AI while disabling recordings or limiting retention.
