IVR solutions use pre-recorded voice prompts and menu options to guide callers, collect information, and route calls to the appropriate department or agent. Whether used for customer support, appointment scheduling, payment processing, or self-service inquiries, IVR enhances efficiency, reduces wait times, and improves the overall customer experience.

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) solutions play a critical role in streamlining communication and enhancing customer experience, but businesses must ensure that they adhere to various legal and regulatory requirements when using this technology. At Sigma Voice, we are committed to helping you navigate compliance to ensure responsible and lawful use of IVR systems.
Ensure compliance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and Do Not Call (DNC) regulations. Always obtain explicit consent before making non-emergency robocalls and manage your call lists carefully.
IVR systems must include mechanisms to obtain recipient consent for receiving calls, and offer recipients an easy way to opt-out or unsubscribe. Compliance with opt-in and opt-out regulations is essential for legal and ethical operation.
It is essential to clearly identify your organization and provide accurate information to the recipient at the beginning of the call. Transparency ensures that your messages are not misleading and that recipients are aware of who is contacting them.
Adhere to federal and state-specific rules regarding acceptable calling hours. Typically, automated calls should be made between 8 AM and 9 PM in the recipient’s local time zone to avoid violating calling hour restrictions.
Certain calls, such as emergency alerts, public safety notifications, and healthcare reminders, may be exempt from specific compliance regulations. Ensure you qualify for these exemptions before bypassing opt-in requirements.
Protect customer information by ensuring secure contact storage and compliance with data protection laws like the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) or CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act), where applicable. Secure customer data is paramount to maintaining trust and legal compliance.
By following these best practices, you can ensure that your IVR system operates in a legally compliant manner. For more details, consult the Sigma Voice Terms of Service or consult a legal expert to ensure your IVR solution aligns with relevant regulations.
