Call-recording law (not legal advice)

:::warning This page is informational, not legal advice. CallVault records your own calls for personal record-keeping. Whether — and how — you may record, keep, or share a call depends on your jurisdiction and on whether you are a participant in the conversation. If you plan to do anything beyond keeping a call for your own reference, confirm the current local rules first, or consult someone who can. :::

The honest points​

  • It depends on jurisdiction, not on the phone. Many places let a participant record a conversation they are part of ("one-party consent"). Others require informing or getting consent from every party — especially before sharing or using a recording.
  • Recording ≠ sharing. Keeping a personal record of a call you were on is generally different from publishing it, submitting it as evidence, or otherwise using it. The bar is usually higher for those.
  • Pakistan specifically. Rules around interception and around publishing or using recordings can be involved, and differ from simply keeping a personal record of calls you took part in. Check before you use a recording beyond your own reference.

What CallVault does and doesn't do​

  • CallVault is transparent: it shows a live banner while recording and keeps a persistent notification.
  • CallVault does not play an audible "this call is being recorded" announcement. That is a product fact — the responsibility to inform the other party where your local law requires it is yours.
