TCPA Compliance

How Ghost Cash ensures compliant SMS communications.

Last updated: April 29, 2026

What is TCPA?

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) is a U.S. federal law enacted in 1991 that regulates telemarketing calls, auto-dialed calls, prerecorded calls, text messages, and unsolicited faxes. It requires prior express consent before contacting consumers and provides them the right to opt out.

No Consent = No Contact

You must have prior express written consent before sending marketing texts

Time Restrictions

Calls only allowed 8 AM - 9 PM in the recipient's local time zone

Heavy Penalties

Violations can result in $500 - $1,500 per unsolicited message

How Ghost Cash Ensures Compliance

1

Consent Verification

Before processing any lead list, we require you to confirm that you have obtained proper prior express written consent from each contact. Our platform includes built-in consent documentation tools.

We verify:

Consent was given voluntarily
Clear disclosure was provided
Records are properly maintained
Consent is specific to SMS
2

Instant Opt-Out Processing

Our AI immediately recognizes and honors opt-out requests. When someone replies with "STOP", "UNSUBSCRIBE", or similar keywords, they are instantly removed from future communications.
