Laws and data licensing
Illinois call recording laws for AI data licensing
Short answer
Illinois is generally treated as all-party consent. Recordings are only included in a license if they were lawfully made and callers were told how they may be used.
What this means#
- Every participant should be told and agree before recording
- A clear recording notice at the start of every call is essential
- Recordings without proper notice are excluded from licensing
Before licensing recordings#
- Confirm notice was given on the recorded calls
- Check whether your notice covered training and partner use
- Remove names and personal details from transcripts
- Voiceprints and biometric data are usually excluded
