Do you have the right to record a telephone conversation?
As you know, no one is supposed to ignore the law. Recording a phone call is far from trivial. It is therefore important to ensure that you act legally. It will save you a lot of trouble.
It is important to know that any recording obtained without the correspondent's consent is completely illegal. The latter may not be used as evidence during a trial. It would automatically be deemed inadmissible before a French court. Collecting comments without the knowledge of the person concerned is considered an unfair process..
In addition, the capture or dissemination of words spoken in a private or confidential capacity is considered as an invasion of privacy and can therefore constitute an offense against the law (one year in prison and 45,000 euros in fines). Please note that the author of the recording may be prosecuted and sentenced.
You must therefore inform your contact person at the start of the conversation that it will be recorded. In addition, the agreement must be audible in the recording..
We therefore recommend that you familiarize yourself with the legislation in force in your country before embarking on the audio capture of telephone conversations. Do not hesitate to seek advice from a lawyer. TechnoWikis and the author of this article cannot be held responsible for any problems encountered when using an application used to record a call.
