Welcome to eConsent
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of websites, applications, APIs, and services provided by eConsent LLC (“eConsent”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), including but not limited to consent recording, certificate generation, session replay, Meta Lead Ad certification, webhook delivery, and verification APIs (collectively, the “Services”). By accepting these Terms or using the Services, you agree to be bound by them.
Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services. If you are accessing the Services on behalf of a business or other entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
Account Registration and Security
Registration requires accurate and complete account information, maintained with prompt updates. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activity under your account. You must notify eConsent immediately of any unauthorized access. eConsent is not liable for losses resulting from unauthorized use of your account.
By creating an account, you consent to receive electronic communications from eConsent, including account notifications, transactional emails, service updates, and billing communications.
Description of Services
Consent Recording and Certificates
eConsent provides technology that records consumer interactions on web forms using session replay technology and generates digital consent certificates. These certificates document:
- The consent language and disclosures displayed to the consumer
- The consumer’s interactions with the form (clicks, inputs, scroll behavior)
- Technical metadata (IP address, browser, device, timestamp, geolocation)
- A cryptographic hash for tamper verification
Certificates serve as documentary evidence of the consent event and may be used by Customers in support of TCPA compliance efforts.
Meta Lead Ad Certificates
eConsent retrieves lead data and form definitions from Meta’s Graph API when Customers connect their Facebook Pages. We generate consent certificates documenting the lead form interaction, including the form questions, consumer responses, consent language, custom disclaimer checkbox states, and ad attribution data.
Session Replay
Session replays provide a visual recreation of the consumer’s form interaction. For web-based sessions, replays are generated from recorded DOM mutations and user events. For Meta Lead Ad sessions, replays are reconstructed from the form definition and submitted field data.
Webhook Delivery
eConsent delivers event notifications to Customer-configured HTTP endpoints. Webhook payloads are signed with HMAC-SHA256 for verification. Customers may configure field mappings and static values for outbound webhook payloads.
Verification APIs
Customers may programmatically verify the existence, validity, and integrity of consent certificates through our APIs.
Customer Responsibilities
Regulatory Compliance
You bear full responsibility for ensuring that your data collection practices, form designs, consent language, and marketing activities comply with all applicable laws, including federal and state telemarketing regulations, privacy laws, and industry-specific requirements.
eConsent is a technology platform, not a law firm or compliance consultancy. Nothing in the Services, documentation, certificates, or communications from eConsent constitutes legal advice or a legal opinion. A consent certificate is a record of what occurred during a form interaction — it is not a determination that the recorded consent meets the requirements of any particular statute, regulation, or legal standard. You should rely on qualified legal counsel for compliance guidance.
Your Forms and Consent Language
The design of your forms, the wording of your disclosures, and the configuration of your opt-in mechanisms are entirely within your control. eConsent records what is presented and what the consumer does — we do not draft, review, validate, or endorse the consent language displayed on your forms or lead generation campaigns.
Privacy Policy Disclosure
If you implement eConsent’s session recording technology on your website, your privacy policy must clearly and conspicuously disclose:
- The use of third-party session recording and tracking technology
- That consumer interactions with your website forms may be recorded
- That recordings and associated data may be shared with service providers for consent verification purposes
- A reference to eConsent’s Privacy Policy or a description of how consent data is processed
Failure to provide adequate disclosure may result in suspension of your account and is solely your responsibility.
Data Collection Scope
eConsent follows a data minimization approach. By default, the Services collect only the personally identifiable information (PII) necessary for TCPA consent verification — specifically name, email address, phone number, and address.
Customers may expand the scope of data captured by whitelisting additional form fields through their property configuration. Any data captured beyond standard PII fields is collected because the Customer has explicitly opted to include those fields. eConsent does not capture non-whitelisted form field data unless the Customer enables it.
eConsent’s session recording technology applies automatic masking to password fields by default. Customers may configure additional field masking for any input they choose. You are responsible for reviewing and configuring which fields are captured and which are masked or excluded.
eConsent reserves the right to automatically purge non-PII form data after a configurable retention period as part of data minimization practices. PII data necessary for consent verification is retained according to the Customer’s plan and retention settings.
Meta Lead Ad Integration
If you use eConsent’s Meta Lead Ad integration, you are responsible for:
- Maintaining a valid and compliant Facebook Page and ad account
- Ensuring your Lead Ad forms contain compliant TCPA consent language and custom disclaimers
- Complying with Meta’s Platform Terms, Advertising Policies, and Lead Ads Terms
- Maintaining valid access tokens (long-lived tokens expire after 60 days)
eConsent is not responsible for changes to Meta’s APIs, policies, or terms that may affect the functionality of the integration.
No Guarantee of Recording
eConsent uses commercially reasonable efforts to capture and record consent interactions. However, due to the inherent nature of web technologies, we cannot guarantee that:
- Every session will be successfully recorded
- Every recording will be complete or free of technical artifacts
- Session recordings will capture all page content in all browsers and devices
- Meta Lead Ad data will be available for retrieval in all cases
Factors that may affect recording completeness include but are not limited to: browser extensions (ad blockers, privacy tools), network interruptions, JavaScript errors, browser compatibility, device limitations, consumer behavior (closing the page before recording initializes), and third-party script conflicts.
eConsent shall not be liable for any sessions that fail to record, for incomplete recordings, or for any legal consequences arising from the absence of a recording.
Certificate Validity and Retention
Certificate Integrity
Each consent certificate includes a SHA-256 cryptographic hash of its payload. This hash provides a mechanism to detect whether certificate data has been modified after issuance.
Retention
Certificates are retained according to your subscription plan and configured retention settings. Long-term archival storage uses write-once compliance controls with a maximum retention of seven (7) years. Once a certificate’s retention period expires and it is deleted, it cannot be recovered.
What a Certificate Is and Is Not
A consent certificate is a factual record of a consent interaction as captured by our technology. It documents what was displayed, what was entered, and when it happened.
A certificate is not:
- A legal determination that the documented consent satisfies any law or regulation
- A substitute for legal counsel’s assessment of your compliance posture
- An identity verification of the individual who interacted with the form
- A guarantee that the recording is complete or captured every element of the page

- Use the Services for any unlawful purpose
