This provision authorizes recording of calls and meetings with opt-out or consent mechanisms, and the data disclosure table indicates these recordings may be shared with affiliates, service providers, business partners, and regulators; applicable wiretapping and call recording laws vary significantly by jurisdiction and may impose additional consent requirements beyond what this policy describes.
Interpretive note: The adequacy of Mercury's opt-out and consent mechanism for all-party consent jurisdictions cannot be assessed from this policy alone, as the document does not specify how pre-call notice and consent are operationally implemented for spontaneous support interactions.
Under this provision, audio and video recordings of support, sales, and research interactions may be collected and shared with affiliates, service providers, and business partners; users may opt out of recording or withhold consent, though the policy does not specify the mechanism for doing so in advance of a call.

"Audio and/or Video Recordings , such as recording your voice and image during sales, support, research, and customer feedback calls or meetings unless you opt-out or do not provide consent.Excerpt from Mercury's Privacy Policy
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Call and meeting recording is subject to federal and state wiretapping and electronic surveillance laws. The federal Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) requires consent of at least one party to a recorded call; California, Illinois, and several other states require all-party consent under their respective wiretapping statutes. Illinois BIPA may also apply to voiceprints extracted from call recordings. The FTC has authority over unfair or deceptive recording practices. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy states recording occurs 'unless you opt-out or do not provide consent' but does not specify the mechanism by which users are notified before recording begins or how opt-out is exercised for spontaneous support interactions. In all-party consent states, advance notice and affirmative consent may be required, and the adequacy of Mercury's consent mechanism for these jurisdictions is not described in this document. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California (CIPA), Illinois (state eavesdropping statute), and other all-party consent states create heightened compliance exposure. Users in these states may have additional consent rights beyond the opt-out mechanism described. The disclosure of audio recordings to business partners and affiliates may raise questions about purpose limitation in these jurisdictions. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Service providers receiving audio and video recordings should be assessed for secure handling, retention limits, and prohibition on secondary use. Business partners receiving recordings should have contractual purpose limitations consistent with the original collection purpose. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should confirm that call recording notification and consent mechanisms comply with all-party consent requirements in California, Illinois, and other applicable states. Retention policies for audio and video recordings should be documented and consistent with the general retention framework described in Section 5. The disclosure of recordings to business partners warrants purpose limitation documentation.
