I live in Florida. Can I record the phone conversation with multiple customer service representative (within the same single call) of a large bank, if prior to speaking with customer service I receive a notice that "This call will be monitored and recorded"?
answered on Dec 2, 2023
Re-posting answer to fix typo -
Yes, because the other party to the call is asking your consent to have it be a recorded call (by making recording a condition of being able to speak to that party). But if you plan to use the recording for anything other than your own private listening, you... View More

No, you would not be able to sue the doctors for being inconsiderate. They are probably choosing to be thorough in wanting to see the baby, and understand the implications for themselves of not arranging exams that could be necessary to observe a given situation. You could express your concern to... View More

Can info gained from Public Record Requests be used in broad data gathering research to later be used for commercial purposes, if it is not disadvantageous, OR is advantageous to the organization providing the data? Would it make a difference if the organization knowingly provided the data?
