Compliance Tools FAQ

Common questions about Drop Cowboy's regulatory compliance features

No platform can guarantee TCPA compliance because compliance depends on factors beyond our control—like whether you have proper consent, what content you send, and your recipient relationships. Drop Cowboy provides tools designed to support your compliance efforts (quiet hours enforcement, opt-out management, audit logs), but you remain responsible for ensuring your campaigns comply with TCPA. Consult qualified legal counsel for guidance specific to your business.
Drop Cowboy calculates each recipient's local time zone based on phone area code and enforces TCPA quiet hours (8 AM - 9 PM local time) automatically. Messages submitted outside these hours are queued and delivered at appropriate times. State-specific restrictions (like Florida's 8 PM cutoff) are applied automatically. You never have to manually check clocks or time zones.
Drop Cowboy processes STOP replies automatically within seconds. The contact is added to your suppression list immediately and blocked from future campaigns. No manual work required. Suppression lists persist permanently across all campaigns and message types. You can manually review and manage suppression lists anytime.
Yes. Drop Cowboy accepts CSV uploads of existing opt-out lists from other platforms. Import your historical opt-outs before launching campaigns to ensure you honor all previous opt-out requests. This consolidates suppression across channels in one place.
Drop Cowboy maintains complete audit logs including message timestamps, recipient phone numbers, message content, delivery status (successful or failed), opt-out request timestamps, and suppression list additions. Export audit logs anytime as CSV for compliance documentation or regulatory inquiries. Records demonstrate your good-faith compliance efforts.
All compliance tools are included with every Drop Cowboy account at no extra cost. Automatic quiet hours enforcement, opt-out processing, suppression list management, and audit logs are built into the platform. No upgrades or add-ons required—compliance features are standard.
Some states have stricter quiet hours than federal TCPA rules (e.g., Florida's 8 PM cutoff). Drop Cowboy automatically applies state-specific restrictions based on recipient location. You don't need to manually track which states have special rules—the platform handles this automatically.
Drop Cowboy provides tools to help you organize contacts and maintain suppression lists, but consent documentation and collection methods are your responsibility. Work with qualified legal counsel to implement proper consent collection processes for your business. Drop Cowboy's contact management helps you organize opted-in contacts effectively.
Yes. Debt collectors have additional compliance requirements beyond standard TCPA (frequency restrictions, limited content rules under FDCPA). Drop Cowboy's platform supports limited content messages and includes dedicated debt collection compliance support. Contact Drop Cowboy's debt collection team for account configuration guidance.
Drop Cowboy provides general educational resources about TCPA in our Compliance Hub. For guidance specific to your business, consult qualified legal counsel who specializes in telemarketing regulations. They can review your consent processes, message content, and campaigns. Your Drop Cowboy account manager can also explain how our compliance tools work.
Drop Cowboy does not allow overriding quiet hours enforcement. TCPA quiet hours are federal requirements, and automatically enforcing them protects both you and your recipients. If you have a specific use case requiring messages outside quiet hours, contact your account manager to discuss options.
Drop Cowboy's suppression lists automatically prevent messages to opted-out contacts. If someone is in your suppression list, they won't receive campaigns even if they're in your contact list. This automatic blocking prevents honest mistakes. However, you remain responsible for maintaining accurate opt-out records and ensuring your campaigns are compliant.
