Why Consent Capture Matters

TCPA litigation costs businesses billions annually. Proper consent documentation is your best defense.

Legal Defensibility

Watermarked screenshots with timestamps, visitor IDs, and browser fingerprints create irrefutable audit trails. When litigation occurs, you have the evidence you need.

E-SIGN Act Compliance

Electronic consent requires E-SIGN Act compliance. Our forms present required disclosures and capture explicit E-SIGN acknowledgment before TCPA consent.

PEWC Enforcement

Toggle a single setting to require valid Prior Express Written Consent for all automated calls, SMS campaigns, ringless voicemails, and voice broadcasts.

Immutable Records

Consent records are never deleted—only revoked. Complete audit trail maintained for regulatory compliance and legal protection.

How Consent Capture Works

From web form to legally defensible audit trail in seconds.

1

Embed the Consent Form

Add our JavaScript snippet to your website or landing page. Configure your Electronic Disclosure URL, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service links. Customize button text and styling to match your brand.

2

Visitor Submits Form

Visitor enters their information and checks consent boxes. Our JavaScript captures device fingerprint data before submission. Form validates and prepares screenshot capture.

3

Screenshot & Consent Captured

Watermarked screenshot of completed form captured instantly. Consent record created with timestamp, consent text hash, fingerprint data, and page URL. Screenshot uploaded to secure storage.

4

Contact Created

Contact automatically created in Drop Cowboy with consent flags. Has E-SIGN Consent, Has TCPA Consent, and consent dates populated. Ready for compliant campaign inclusion.

5

PEWC Enforced on Campaigns

When 'Require PEWC' is enabled, automated campaigns automatically filter out contacts missing valid consent. DNC and litigator checks still apply. Manual calls always permitted.

Best Practices for Consent Capture

Maximize legal protection with these proven strategies.

Link to Disclosures

Always link to your Electronic Disclosure Consent, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service. Our forms require these URLs—this is by design.

Separate Consent Steps

Most compliant approach: E-SIGN consent first, then TCPA consent. Our forms support this optimal flow recommended by telecom attorneys.

Clear Consent Language

Use specific language about what communications the contact will receive. Vague consent is weak consent. Our default text is attorney-reviewed.

Consent Before Contact

Never import contacts without consent records. If importing from lead sources, map TrustedForm or Jornaya fields. No consent = no campaign.

Honor Revocations Immediately

When consent is revoked, all phone numbers go to DNC immediately. Drop Cowboy automates this—revocations are never delayed.

Consult Legal Counsel

Every business is different. Work with qualified telecom compliance attorneys to review your consent language and processes.

Stop risking TCPA litigation

Proper consent capture supports your compliance efforts. Drop Cowboy's next-generation consent tools make compliance manageable.

Consent Capture FAQ

Common questions about consent tracking and PEWC enforcement

No platform can guarantee TCPA compliance—compliance depends on many factors including your consent language, business relationships, and message content. Drop Cowboy provides tools designed to support your compliance efforts with proper consent capture and documentation. Always consult qualified legal counsel for guidance specific to your business.
Screenshots are retained for 5 years with instant retrieval capability. They transition to cost-effective storage tiers automatically while remaining accessible. For longer retention requirements, you can export records to your own systems.
Yes. Our JavaScript SDK provides helper functions for consent capture, fingerprinting, and screenshot generation. Build completely custom UIs while using our backend for consent storage and enforcement. Or use our embeddable forms for quick deployment.
When consent is revoked (via API or our privacy form), all phone numbers associated with that contact are automatically added to the team's DNC list. The contact's consent flags are updated, and the revocation is timestamped in the audit trail. Consent records are never deleted—only marked as revoked.
During contact import, you can map consent-related fields including TCPA consent status, consent date, E-SIGN consent, TrustedForm certificate URLs, and Jornaya lead IDs. These are stored with the contact and respected by PEWC enforcement.
PEWC enforcement only affects automated campaigns: predictive dialer, RVM, voice broadcast, and bulk SMS. Manual click-to-call and single SMS are always permitted (though DNC and litigator checks still apply). This allows legitimate relationship-based communication while protecting against automated abuse.
Yes. Our forms target WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance with full keyboard navigation, ARIA labels, screen reader announcements, focus management, color contrast compliance, and reduced motion support for users with vestibular sensitivities.
Consent records are linked to contacts via email and/or phone number. When a form is submitted, if a contact with that email or phone exists, consent is associated with that contact. New submissions create new contacts with consent already attached.
Yes. In the contact detail view, a Consent section shows E-SIGN consent status/date, TCPA consent status/date, opt-out status, RND status, and links to view consent screenshots. You can also export contacts with all consent fields.
Our fingerprinting captures: browser type/version, operating system, screen resolution, timezone, language settings, canvas fingerprint, WebGL renderer, installed fonts, and more. This creates a unique visitor identifier for fraud detection and audit trails without personally identifiable information.
