- Participation in any recorded call implies your consent to be recorded.
- Forrester employees can choose to not be recorded or stop a recording at any time.
- Except for licensed replays or as otherwise agreed by Forrester in a client agreement all recordings are for internal use only. Any external use is subject to Forrester’s prior written approval. Any client recordings are subject to the terms and conditions in the Master Agreement between Forrester and the applicable client.
