How does Coastline handle call recording and consent?
Recording is off by default and opt-in; every call discloses it may be recorded. Your business stays responsible for the recording laws that apply to it.
Call recording in Coastline is off by default. When you turn it on, Coastline builds the notice into every call: Current's opening greeting states that the call may be recorded, before any conversation happens. That greeting is mandatory and cannot be removed or edited out.
Recording laws vary by place and situation, and your business is responsible for following the ones that apply to it. A common, careful practice is to make sure everyone on the call is told it may be recorded and can decide whether to stay on the line, which is exactly what the built-in greeting does: it announces the business name, identifies Current as an AI assistant, and says the call may be recorded. If recording matters to how you operate, it is worth a conversation with a professional about your specific situation.
What Coastline handles for you:
- The recorded-call notice in every greeting, inbound and outbound.
- Transcripts and AI summaries by default, with access permission-gated inside your workspace.
- Audio recording only if you opt in, stored privately in Coastline, played back only by teammates with the recordings permission, and deleted automatically after 90 days.
What remains your call: whether to enable audio recording at all, and whether your specific situation needs stricter handling. If you never enable audio, you still get transcripts and summaries, and there is no stored audio to manage.
This is general information, not legal advice. If recording is important to your operation, a quick conversation with a local attorney is worth the hour.

More in AI voice calling
Can I use my texting number for AI calling? Do I need a second number?
Yes. Current calls and answers on your existing workspace number, and if you do not have one, the plan includes a new number. A number set up for calling also works for texting later.
How much does AI calling cost per minute, and how is it billed?
$49/month includes 250 minutes of talk time and a phone number, then $0.20 per additional minute. Additional minutes are paid from a phone call balance that reloads itself, and adding AI calling puts $20 in it for free.
How do customers know they are talking to an AI, and can they ask for a human?
Every call opens with a mandatory greeting that names your business, identifies Current as an AI assistant, and offers a transfer to a human anytime.
What does Current know about my business, and how do I edit it?
Current builds a short profile of your business from your website and what Coastline already knows, then uses it to answer callers. You can edit it or rebuild it any time from the Voice Agents page.
