Compliance Hub

1. Introduction

FrontlineHQ provides AI-powered voice agents, chatbots, review management, and lead automation tools to local businesses across the United States. We take regulatory compliance seriously and have designed our platform to help our customers operate within the bounds of federal, state, and industry-specific regulations. This Compliance Hub serves as a central resource for understanding how FrontlineHQ addresses the key compliance areas relevant to AI automation services.

2. Voice AI Compliance

Our AI voice agent services are subject to a wide range of telecommunications and consumer protection regulations. FrontlineHQ is committed to ensuring that all voice AI interactions comply with applicable federal and state laws, including:

• Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA): The TCPA regulates automated and prerecorded calls, requiring prior express consent before contacting consumers. Violations carry penalties of $500 to $1,500 per call, making compliance critical for any business using AI voice agents.
• FCC AI Voice Rules: The FCC has issued guidance classifying AI-generated voice calls as "artificial or prerecorded voice" under the TCPA, subjecting them to the same consent requirements as robocalls.
• FTC Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR): The TSR governs telemarketing practices, including requirements for caller identification, do-not-call list compliance, and prohibitions on deceptive practices in automated calls.
• State AI Disclosure Laws: Several states have enacted or proposed laws requiring disclosure when a consumer is interacting with an AI system. California, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, and other states have specific requirements for AI transparency in voice and automated communications.
• Call Recording Consent: Call recording laws vary by state. Two-party consent states (such as California, Florida, Illinois, and Pennsylvania) require all parties to consent before a call can be recorded. One-party consent states require only one party's consent. FrontlineHQ's voice agents are configured to handle disclosure and consent requirements based on applicable state law.
• Voice Cloning Prohibitions: Multiple states have enacted laws prohibiting the unauthorized use of AI-generated voice clones, particularly for deceptive or fraudulent purposes. FrontlineHQ does not clone customer or consumer voices without explicit written authorization.

3. Chat & Chatbot Compliance

AI-powered chatbots used for customer engagement and lead capture are subject to data protection, consumer disclosure, and electronic communication regulations. FrontlineHQ ensures our chatbot services address the following compliance areas:

• AI Disclosure Requirements: When consumers interact with an AI chatbot rather than a human, applicable laws and best practices require clear disclosure. FrontlineHQ chatbots identify themselves as AI-powered assistants at the start of every conversation.
• GDPR Implications for Chatbots: For businesses serving customers in the European Economic Area, chatbot interactions that collect personal data must comply with GDPR requirements, including lawful basis for processing, data minimization, and the right to erasure.
• Lead Capture Consent: When chatbots collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers for lead generation, proper consent must be obtained. FrontlineHQ provides configurable consent prompts and privacy notice links within the chatbot flow.
• Data Retention & Deletion: Chat conversation logs and captured lead data are retained in accordance with our data retention policies. Business Users can request deletion of conversation data at any time, and end users can exercise their data subject rights as described in our Privacy Policy.
• CAN-SPAM Compliance for Lead Follow-ups: When chatbot-captured leads are followed up via email, those communications must comply with the CAN-SPAM Act, including accurate sender identification, a valid physical address, and a clear unsubscribe mechanism.
