Overview

Cogniagent ("we," "us," or "our") is an AI automation agency that builds and operates AI voice agent systems, lead management pipelines, and client-facing analytics dashboards for businesses in the roofing and home services industries.

AI Calls & Recording Consent

Our AI voice agents are powered by Retell AI and utilize synthetic voices. All outbound and inbound calls made through our system include the following disclosures:

📢 AI Disclosure: At the start of every call, our AI agent identifies itself as an AI assistant calling on behalf of the client business. Example: "Hi, this is Maya, an AI assistant calling on behalf of [Business Name]…"
🎙️ Recording Consent: All calls include a disclosure that the call may be recorded for quality and service improvement purposes: "This call may be recorded." This covers compliance in all US states, including two-party consent states such as California, Florida, Illinois, and Pennsylvania.

Call recordings are stored securely and are accessible only to the authorized client business through their dashboard. Recording retention follows the terms set out in Section 9.

Section 06

TCPA Compliance

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) governs automated calls and text messages to US consumers. Cogniagent takes TCPA compliance seriously:

  • Consent Warranty: Our clients contractually warrant that all leads provided to us have given prior express written consent.
  • Calling Hours: All outbound calls are made between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM in the recipient's local time zone.
  • DNC Compliance: We scrub all outbound call lists against the National Do Not Call Registry.
  • Opt-Out Handling: Any individual who requests to stop receiving calls is immediately added to a suppression list.
  • Client Indemnification: Clients are contractually responsible for ensuring valid TCPA consent exists for all leads they provide.
Important: If you wish to opt out of receiving calls or messages facilitated by our system, please contact the business that called you directly, or email us at info@cogniagent.in with your phone number.
Section 07

Data Storage & Security

  • Storage Location: All client and lead data is stored in Supabase (PostgreSQL), hosted on AWS in the United States (us-east-1).
  • Encryption at Rest: AES-256 encryption for all stored data.
  • Encryption in Transit: TLS 1.3 for all data transmitted between our systems and third-party services.
  • Access Controls: Each client can only view their own data — no cross-client data access is possible.
  • No Card Data Storage: All billing is processed through Stripe or Wise.
  • Incident Response: We notify affected clients within 72 hours of discovery of any data breach.
Section 08
