Compliance & Legal

Compliance & Legal

Understanding our compliance standards, data practices, and legal requirements.

GDPR & CCPA Compliance

Q: What about GDPR and CCPA?
Call IQ is GDPR and CCPA compliant. You can request data export or deletion at any time by emailing info@calliqlabs.com.
πŸ”’ Data Subject Rights: Under GDPR and CCPA, you have the right to access, correct, and delete your personal data. Contact info@calliqlabs.com to exercise these rights.

Website Disclaimer

Q: Do I need a disclaimer on my website?
Yes, we recommend it. You should add a line to your website footer or contact page:

"Calls are answered by Call IQ, an AI receptionist. By calling us, you agree to speak with an automated system."

Our AI already discloses itself on every call, so you are covered either way, but the website notice adds extra transparency.

Account & Management

How do I monitor calls? +
You get a real-time dashboard showing:
  • Active calls
  • Call history (duration, outcome, transcript)
  • Minutes used this billing cycle
  • Lead conversion metrics
  • Missed call reasons
Every call is transcribed and searchable. You can listen to audio replays (optional setting).
Can I change the AI's behavior after hours vs. business hours? +
Yes. You can set different rules for:
  • Business hours (e.g., try to transfer to you first, then take a message)
  • After hours (e.g., take a message or book an appointment only)
  • Holidays (e.g., custom holiday greeting)
  • Weekends (e.g., limited hours)
All of this is configurable at the time of onboarding and will soon be available on your dashboard.
How many phone numbers can I have? +
Each plan includes one phone number. You can add additional numbers for $9/mo per number (each with its own greeting and rules).
Can multiple team members access the dashboard? +
Yes. You can add unlimited team members with role-based permissions (admin, viewer, editor).

Getting Started & Support

How long does setup take? +
Most customers are live within 30 minutes:
  1. Sign up
  2. Configure your greeting and FAQs
  3. Connect your calendar and CRM via Zapier
  4. Test with a few calls
  5. Forward your number or port it
Do you offer a free trial? +
Yes – 14 days free. No credit card required.
What kind of support do you offer? +
  • Email support – response within 24 hours (all plans)
  • Live chat – 7am–3pm ET (Monday to Friday)
  • Knowledge base – 24/7 (all plans)
Can I cancel anytime? +
Yes. Monthly plans: 7 days' notice. Annual plans: non-refundable after 14 days, but you can cancel future renewal.

Troubleshooting & Edge Cases

What if the AI accidentally books a duplicate appointment? +
The AI checks your calendar via integration before booking. If a time slot is already taken, it will not book it. Duplicates are extremely rare. If one occurs, you can cancel it manually, and we will credit you 10 minutes of overage.
Can the AI handle angry or aggressive callers? +
Yes. The AI is trained to remain calm, polite, and de-escalate. If a caller becomes abusive, the AI will say:
"I'm sorry you're upset. I'm an AI, so I can't get angry. I'll take a message and have a human call you back within one hour. Is that okay?"
If the caller continues to yell, the AI will politely end the call and send you an urgent email alert.
Do you support call recording? +
Yes, but only with caller consent. The AI will say: "This call may be recorded for quality and training purposes." If the caller says no, the AI does not record. Recordings are stored for 30 days.
What happens if my internet goes down? +
Call IQ runs entirely in the cloud. Your internet does not matter. Calls route through our servers. As long as your phone number is forwarded to us or ported to us, calls will still be answered even if your office loses power or internet.

States with AI Disclosure Laws (Enacted or Pending)

As of 2025, several states have passed or introduced legislation requiring businesses to disclose when consumers are interacting with AI.

State Status Key Requirements Penalties
California Enacted (AB 2905, effective 2025) Disclosure required for AI use in certain consumer interactions Varies
Utah Enacted (SB149, 2024; amended SB226, 2025) Disclosure required for "high-risk AI interactions" including legal, medical, and financial advice Varies
New Jersey Enacted (effective 2025) Unlawful to use AI bot to mislead consumers about its artificial identity to incentivize transactions $2,500 (1st), $5,000 (2nd), $10,000 (subsequent)
Maine Enacted (June 2025) Disclosure required if AI could mislead reasonable consumer into thinking they are interacting with a human Up to $1,000 per violation
Alabama Pending (HB 516) Disclosure required if AI may mislead reasonable person UDAP violation
Hawaii Pending (HB 639) Disclosure required before consumer interacts with chatbot UDAP violation
Illinois Pending (HB 3021) Disclosure required – violation even if consumer not actually misled Unlawful practice
Massachusetts Pending (SB 243) Disclosure required regardless of whether consumer is misled or damaged UDAP violation
⚠️ Important Note on Extraterritorial Reach: Even if your business is not located in a state with an AI disclosure law, you may still need to comply if your customers are located in that state. For example: A Texas law firm using an AI receptionist must comply with Utah's disclosure law if a potential client from Salt Lake City calls. This is why we recommend keeping AI disclosure enabled. It is the simplest way to stay compliant across all 50 states.

One-Party Consent vs. All-Party Consent

In the United States, call recording laws fall into two categories:

Type Definition Number of States
One-Party Consent Only one person in the conversation needs to know the call is being recorded 38 states + DC
All-Party Consent Every person in the conversation must consent to the recording 12 states

All-Party Consent States (As of 2025)

The following states require all parties to consent before recording a private conversation:

State Key Notes
CaliforniaStrict all-party consent. Violations can lead to criminal and civil penalties.
ConnecticutRequires all-party consent for private conversations.
DelawareAll-party consent required.
FloridaAll-party consent required. Violation is a felony.
IllinoisAll-party consent required under the Illinois Eavesdropping Act.
MarylandAll-party consent required. Violation is a felony.
MassachusettsAll-party consent required. Very strict enforcement.
MichiganUnsettled – courts have interpreted as all-party, but statute is unclear.
MontanaAll-party consent required.
NevadaAll-party consent required.
New HampshireAll-party consent required.
PennsylvaniaAll-party consent required.
WashingtonAll-party consent required.

Pending Legislation

State Bill Status Proposed Change
New Jersey S4739 / A6186 Introduced 2025 Changing from one-party to all-party consent
New York A9144A In committee All-party consent for mediation/ADR proceedings

Penalties for Violating Call Recording Laws

Violation Potential Penalties
Criminal Fines up to $10,000, imprisonment (varies by state), felony charges in some states (FL, MD)
Civil Damages, attorney fees, statutory penalties ($1,000–$5,000 per violation)
Federal Wiretap Act violations: $10,000 fine, up to 5 years imprisonment
πŸ“ž If You Record Calls Elsewhere: Even if your business is in a one-party consent state, recording a call with a person in an all-party consent state requires that person's consent. The stricter law often applies.

How to Handle Emergency Calls with an AI Receptionist

Emergency calls require speed, accuracy, and empathy. Here's how to configure your AI to handle them flawlessly.

Picture this: It's 2:00 AM. A customer's pipe just burst. Water is flooding their basement. They call your number, panicked. Who answers?

If you have Call IQ, your AI receptionist answers immediately β€” not with a robotic script, but with a calm, empathetic voice that collects critical details and dispatches help instantly.

The difference between an answered emergency call and a missed one:
A missed emergency call can mean thousands of dollars in lost revenue, a damaged reputation, and a customer who never calls again. An answered emergency call means you dispatch a technician, save the customer's property, and earn their loyalty for life.

Step 1: Define What "Emergency" Means for Your Business

Not every after-hours call is an emergency. Before you configure your AI, define exactly what constitutes an emergency:

  • For plumbers: Burst pipes, active flooding, gas smells, no hot water
  • For electricians: Sparking outlets, burning smells, complete power outage, shock hazards
  • For HVAC: No heat in freezing weather, no AC in extreme heat, gas smells
  • For veterinarians: Bleeding, seizures, breathing difficulty, toxin ingestion

Pro Tip: Create a list of "red flag" keywords for your industry. The AI will use these to automatically escalate calls. For example: "flooding," "smoke," "bleeding," "seizure," "gas leak".

Step 2: Configure Your AI's Emergency Call Flow

During onboarding, you'll set up your emergency call flow. Here's what a typical emergency flow looks like:

1
Answer with urgency: "I'm Call IQ, the AI dispatcher for [Your Business]. Are you reporting an emergency?"
2
Collect critical details: "What's the problem? Where are you? Is there immediate danger?"
3
Flag and escalate: "I'm dispatching this as an emergency. Your on-call technician will contact you within 5 minutes."
4
Notify your team: The AI emails your on-call technician the full job summary β€” address, problem description, customer name, and phone number.

Step 3: Set Up Your On-Call Notification System

The AI is only as good as its notification system. Here's how to set up your emergency notifications:

  • Primary contact: Your on-call technician's email and phone number
  • Backup contact: A secondary number if the primary doesn't respond within 3 minutes
  • Email summary: A detailed email with the full transcript sent to your dispatch team
  • Slack notification: Send a message to your #emergencies channel (via Zapier)
πŸ“± Example alert: "🚨 EMERGENCY: Burst pipe at 1428 Oak Street. Customer reports active flooding in basement. On-call plumber: Please call (555) 847-2931 immediately. Status: Dispatching now."

Step 4: Test Your Emergency Flow

Before you go live, test your emergency flow with a few mock calls. Here's what to test:

  • Does the AI recognize your emergency keywords?
  • Does the AI capture the address and problem description correctly?
  • Does the notification email arrive within seconds of the call ending?
  • Does the backup contact work if the primary doesn't respond?

⚠️ Common mistake: Many businesses forget to test their emergency flow with a real simulated call. Don't wait for a real emergency to find out your notifications aren't working. Test it now.

The Bottom Line

Emergency calls are the most important calls your business receives. A single missed emergency call can mean a lost customer, a bad review, or worse β€” property damage or even injury. With Call IQ, you never miss an emergency call again.

The Legal Guide to AI Disclosure: What You Must Tell Callers

Published February 10, 2025 Β· 7 min read

FCC, state laws, and best practices. Stay compliant and build trust with your customers.

Quick Answer: Yes, you must disclose you're using an AI receptionist to callers in most US jurisdictions. Call IQ handles this automatically. Here's everything you need to know.

Why AI Disclosure Matters

As of 2025, several states have enacted or are considering legislation requiring businesses to disclose when consumers are interacting with artificial intelligence. Failing to disclose can result in significant penalties β€” up to $10,000 per violation in some states.

State Status Key Requirements Penalties
California Enacted (AB 2905, effective 2025) Disclosure required for AI use in certain consumer interactions Varies
Utah Enacted (SB149, 2024; amended SB226, 2025) Disclosure required for "high-risk AI interactions" including legal, medical, and financial advice Varies
New Jersey Enacted (effective 2025) Unlawful to use AI bot to mislead consumers about its artificial identity to incentivize transactions $2,500 (1st), $5,000 (2nd), $10,000 (subsequent)
Maine Enacted (June 2025) Disclosure required if AI could mislead reasonable consumer into thinking they are interacting with a human Up to $1,000 per violation
Alabama Pending (HB 516) Disclosure required if AI may mislead reasonable person UDAP violation
Hawaii Pending (HB 639) Disclosure required before consumer interacts with chatbot UDAP violation
Illinois Pending (HB 3021) Disclosure required – violation even if consumer not actually misled Unlawful practice
Massachusetts Pending (SB 243) Disclosure required regardless of whether consumer is misled or damaged UDAP violation
⚠️ Extraterritorial Reach: Even if your business is not located in a state with an AI disclosure law, you may still need to comply if your customers are located in that state. For example: A Texas law firm using an AI receptionist must comply with Utah's disclosure law if a potential client from Salt Lake City calls. This is why we recommend keeping AI disclosure enabled on all calls.

How Call IQ Handles AI Disclosure

Call IQ handles AI disclosure automatically. Our AI says:

"Hi, you've reached [Your Business]. I'm Call IQ, an AI receptionist. How can I help you today?"

This simple disclosure accomplishes three things:

  • βœ… Legal compliance β€” You meet disclosure requirements in all 50 states
  • βœ… Builds trust β€” Customers appreciate transparency
  • βœ… Sets expectations β€” Callers know they're interacting with AI, not a human

What About Website Disclosure?

We also recommend adding a line to your website footer or contact page:

"Calls are answered by Call IQ, an AI receptionist. By calling us, you agree to speak with an automated system."

This adds an extra layer of transparency and helps with state-level compliance where AI disclosure is required on websites as well.

βš–οΈ Can I disable AI disclosure? Yes, but only after signing an indemnity form accepting full legal responsibility. We strongly recommend keeping it enabled. It's the simplest way to stay compliant across all 50 states.

The Bottom Line

AI disclosure isn't just a legal requirement in many states β€” it's also a best practice for building trust with your customers. Call IQ makes it automatic and effortless. You never have to think about it again.

Stay compliant. Build trust. Never miss a call.

Why Per-Minute Pricing Is Fairer Than Per-Call

Published January 25, 2025 Β· 5 min read

A detailed breakdown with real customer examples. See why per-minute pricing saves you money.

The short answer: Per-minute pricing is fairer because you only pay for what you use. Per-call pricing charges you the same for a 30-second call as a 10-minute call. That's not fair. Here's why.

The Problem with Per-Call Pricing

Many AI receptionist services charge per call. Here's what that means in practice:

Scenario A: 30-second spam call

Per-call pricing: $1.50 Β· Per-minute pricing: $0.075 (30 sec Γ— $0.15/min)

With per-call pricing, you just paid $1.50 for a robocall. With per-minute pricing, you paid 7.5 cents.

Scenario B: 10-minute customer consultation

Per-call pricing: $1.50 Β· Per-minute pricing: $1.50 (10 min Γ— $0.15/min)

This is the only scenario where per-call pricing makes sense. But what if the call is 15 minutes? Per-minute still wins.

The Call IQ Approach: Per-Minute Pricing

Call IQ charges per minute, not per call. Here's why that's better for you:

πŸ’°

You Only Pay for What You Use

Short calls cost less. Long calls cost more, but that means you're actually having meaningful conversations with customers.

πŸ›‘οΈ

Spam Calls Are Almost Free

Our AI drops spam in under 3 seconds. At $0.15/min, that's less than 1 cent. Competitors charge you the full per-call rate.

πŸ“Š

Predictable Costs

With per-minute pricing, you know exactly what you're paying for. No surprises. No hidden fees.

βœ…

Fair to Your Business

If you have a 30-second call to confirm an appointment, you shouldn't pay the same as a 10-minute detailed consultation. Per-minute is simply fairer.

Real Customer Example

Mike's Plumbing receives 200 calls per month. 60% are spam (30 seconds each). 40% are real calls (average 4 minutes each).

  • Per-call pricing: 200 calls Γ— $1.50 = $300/month
  • Per-minute pricing (Call IQ): (120 spam Γ— 0.5 min Γ— $0.15) + (80 real Γ— 4 min Γ— $0.15) = $57/month
  • Annual savings: $2,916/year

Mike saved nearly $3,000 in the first year by switching to per-minute pricing. That's real money back in his pocket.

Custom call flows built for roofing contractors

Call IQ customizable call flows serve as the technical framework that consistently executes your lead qualification and inspection routing protocols. The routing logic evaluates the caller's intent β€” active leak, storm damage assessment, age-related replacement, gutter installation β€” and applies your predefined criteria to determine appropriate next steps.

The system handles calls autonomously using structured qualification questions about:

  • Leak location (ceiling stain, wall drip, skylight)
  • Storm date and type (hail, wind, hurricane)
  • Visible damage (missing shingles, granule loss, dented vents)
  • Insurance claim status (filed, pending, denied)
  • Roof age and material type

Intelligent routing ensures active leak calls receive immediate inspection scheduling, while storm damage inquiries are prioritized based on your service area and claim filing deadlines.

Every interaction generates detailed call summaries with notifications delivered through your preferred channels β€” email, Slack, text. The system integrates directly with your job management software, maintaining accurate records without manual data entry. For existing customers, new service requests are automatically added to their property history. For new prospects, the system creates a lead record with complete roof details and contact information.

Choose the right AI configuration for your roofing business

Call IQ provides flexible AI receptionist solutions that adapt to your roofing company's specific needs. Our AI handles everything from emergency tarping to storm damage assessment, with configurations for residential specialists, commercial contractors, and storm restoration experts.

You can adjust the AI's intake questions based on storm season β€” prioritizing hail damage in spring and summer, wind damage during hurricane season, and ice dam questions in winter. The AI integrates with your calendar, follows your inspection protocols, and provides consistent caller experiences across all service areas.

Frequently asked questions for roofing contractors

How does Call IQ handle storm damage calls during high-volume events? +
The AI scales to handle hundreds of simultaneous calls after hailstorms or hurricanes. It captures each homeowner's information, damage details, and insurance status, then queues inspections based on your priority rules (active leaks first, then visible damage).
Can the AI help homeowners understand their insurance coverage? +
The AI can explain your insurance claim assistance process β€” how you work with adjusters, what documentation you provide, and whether you accept insurance assignment of benefits. It does not provide insurance advice.
What if a homeowner doesn't know their roof age or material? +
The AI captures whatever information the homeowner has (purchase date, builder name, approximate age) and notes "unknown" for missing fields. The estimate and inspection will determine actual specifications.
Can the AI provide ballpark estimates over the phone? +
The AI can provide square footage-based ranges (e.g., "most asphalt shingle roofs in this area run between $X and $Y") but always schedules an inspection for a firm quote.
How does the AI handle emergency tarping calls? +
Active leak calls are prioritized. The AI explains your tarping service, captures access instructions, and dispatches your emergency response team based on your protocols.
Can the AI handle questions about different shingle brands and warranties? +
Yes. You provide your product offerings (brands, grades, warranty lengths, color availability). The AI can explain differences between 3-tab, architectural, and premium shingles.
What if a homeowner calls about a roof that's only a few years old? +
The AI checks your warranty database if integrated. It can verify whether the roof was installed by your company and whether the issue is covered under warranty or requires a paid repair.

Can the AI answer safety questions about pesticides? +
The AI can explain your safety protocols (evacuation requirements, re-entry timing, pet restrictions) based on your standard procedures. For specific chemical questions or medical concerns, it escalates for a callback from your certified applicator.
What if a customer has a wasp nest or bee swarm emergency? +
The AI recognizes these as urgent. It captures location details, nest size, and access information, then notifies your team immediately. The AI can also distinguish between wasps (you treat) and honey bees (referral to beekeeper).
Can the AI sell recurring maintenance plans over the phone? +

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know. 14-day free trial available.

What is Call IQ and how does it work? +
Call IQ is a 100% automated AI receptionist. When a customer calls your number, our AI answers instantly. It listens, understands natural speech, asks qualifying questions, schedules appointments, answers FAQs, and takes messages. No live agents. No humans.
Do you use live agents? +
No. Zero live agents. Every call is handled entirely by our AI. If a call requires a human, the AI takes a detailed message and immediately notifies you by email.
Do I have to tell callers they're speaking with AI? +
Yes, for commercial use in most US jurisdictions. Call IQ handles this automatically. Our AI says: "Hi, you've reached [Your Business]. I'm Call IQ, an AI receptionist. How can I help you today?" AI disclosure can be optionally disabled β€” but only after signing an indemnity form accepting full legal responsibility.
Do you offer a free trial? +
Yes. 14-day free trial on Essential and Professional. No credit card required. Try free. If you don't love it, cancel. You never pay a cent.
Is there a setup fee? +
No. Setup is free. You can be live in under 15 minutes.
Do I pay for spam calls? +
No. Our AI detects and drops spam within seconds. You are never charged for spam or robocalls.
Do you offer call recording? +
No. Call IQ does not offer call recording on any plan. Call recording creates significant legal liability under state wiretapping laws β€” 12 states require all-party consent with criminal penalties for violations. We protect you by not offering it.
Can I cancel anytime? +
Yes. Monthly plans: 7 days' notice. Annual plans: non-refundable after 14 days, but you can cancel future renewal.

Our Story

Built by Business Owners,
for Business Owners

Smart Β· Seamless Β· Always

Call IQ was founded in 2025 by a team of former small business owners and AI engineers. We saw the same problem everywhere: brilliant plumbers, lawyers, and mechanics were missing calls β€” not because they were lazy, but because they were working.

Every missed call was a customer going to a competitor. Voicemail meant customers hung up. Live answering services cost $2,000+/month. Early AI bots were robotic and useless. So we built something different.

Pure AI. No humans.

Modern AI handles 90% of business calls. Why pay for a human to ask "What's your phone number?"

Transparency by choice.

We recommend AI disclosure on every call. It builds trust and keeps you legally compliant.

No call recording.

Too much legal risk. We protect you by not offering it on any plan.

Real support.

Live chat with real humans, 7am–3pm ET. Email support 24/7.
