AI Agent Compliance Checklist: Stay Safe While Automating Outreach
A practical guide to governing AI agents—covering consent, logging, opt-outs, and data retention for regulated industries.
Automation without guardrails is risky. This checklist keeps your AI agents compliant.
Consent & Permissions
- Capture opt-in status (
consent_email,consent_phone) on every lead. - Agents verify consent before sending step 1.
Logging Requirements
| Log | Field |
|---|---|
| Template version | template_id |
| Variables used | JSONB snapshot |
| Send timestamp | sent_at |
Opt-Out Automation
When a prospect replies "stop", a webhook updates do_not_contact and pauses all agent runs for that lead.
Data Retention
Set Supabase row-level policies to auto-delete enriched data after 18 months unless the lead becomes a customer.
Audit Mode
PerksMate's run history gives auditors exact copies of every message plus the ICP that generated it—no screenshots required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need legal review for templates?+
If you operate in finance/health, yes. Store a <code>legal_status</code> flag on templates and block agents from sending drafts marked 'pending'.
How do we prove consent?+
Log source + timestamp (e.g., webinar form, inbound chat). Include it in the agent payload so each send links back to the original opt-in.
