There are two different permissions for recorded calls (these permissions are only visible when at least 1 user has the recorded calls add-on). 


Recorded Calls = Gives the user access to the Recorded Calls tab in the admin portal which can be used to access all recorded calls (or only for a specific group).

Click on the tab below to read more about Storage, Compliance, and International Considerations:

Storage, Compliance, and International Considerations

Storage

The recorded calls are stored by Telavox for 2 years. A user with the Recorded calls permission can also delete recorded calls manually via the Recorded calls tab in the admin portal.


If you need to store recorded calls yourself or for a more extended period than 2 years, there are solutions to have recorded calls continuously exported to your own (S)FTP server. 

Laws and regulations

It is your responsibility to be aware of and act in accordance with all relevant laws and regulations related to call recording, including gathering consent and data storage. Telavox accepts no responsibility for the misuse of our tools and services.

Recorded calls abroad

Calls directly to and from mobile (Telavox) when you are abroad are not recorded. Calls directly to the user’s landline number can, therefore, be recorded even if you are abroad and answer on your mobile phone. You can also make outgoing calls via the mobile app using the VoIP calling method to also have the call recorded when being abroad(provided that the user has the recorded calls add-on and that the active profile is set to record calls).
