Compliance (A2P, SMS, RVM)

How Moklo ensures regulatory compliance across all outbound channels

Compliance-First Architecture

Moklo is built with compliance as a foundational requirement, not an afterthought. Every message sent through our platform undergoes automated compliance checking before delivery, ensuring your campaigns stay within regulatory boundaries.

A2P (Application-to-Person) Messaging

A2P messaging regulations govern how businesses can send SMS messages to consumers. Moklo handles the complex A2P registration process and ensures ongoing compliance.

10DLC Registration

All SMS campaigns on Moklo use 10-digit long code (10DLC) numbers registered with The Campaign Registry (TCR). This registration process includes:

  • Business Verification: Your business is verified through official databases and documentation
  • Brand Registration: Your company brand is registered with TCR and assigned a trust score
  • Campaign Registration: Each campaign use case is registered and approved by carriers
  • Throughput Allocation: Message volume limits are assigned based on your trust score

Carrier Filtering & Deliverability

Mobile carriers actively filter messages that violate A2P guidelines. Moklo's compliance engine prevents common violations:

  • • Prohibited content detection (cannabis, debt collection, high-risk financial services)
  • • SHAFT compliance (Sex, Hate, Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco restrictions)
  • • Phishing and fraud pattern detection
  • • URL shortener restrictions and link validation
  • • Message length and formatting optimization

TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act)

TCPA is the primary federal law governing telemarketing calls and text messages in the United States. Violations can result in fines of $500-$1,500 per message.

Consent Management

Moklo maintains comprehensive consent records for all prospects:

  • Consent Capture: Documents how and when consent was obtained
  • Consent Type: Tracks express written consent vs. implied consent
  • Consent Scope: Records what types of messages the prospect agreed to receive
  • Audit Trail: Maintains immutable logs for regulatory compliance

Opt-Out Processing

TCPA requires immediate opt-out processing. Moklo automatically:

  • • Detects opt-out keywords (STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, etc.)
  • • Immediately suppresses the contact across all campaigns
  • • Sends confirmation messages as required by law
  • • Maintains permanent opt-out lists that persist across campaigns
  • • Syncs opt-outs with Do Not Call (DNC) registries

Time-of-Day Restrictions

TCPA prohibits calls and texts before 8 AM or after 9 PM in the recipient's local time zone. Moklo enforces these restrictions automatically by:

  • • Detecting prospect time zones from phone numbers and location data
  • • Queuing messages sent outside permitted hours for next-day delivery
  • • Allowing custom quiet hours beyond regulatory minimums

CAN-SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act regulates commercial email messages. Moklo ensures all email campaigns comply with these requirements:

Accurate Header Information

From, To, and routing information must be accurate and identify the sender

Non-Deceptive Subject Lines

Subject lines must accurately reflect the content of the message

Commercial Message Disclosure

Messages must be clearly identified as advertisements when appropriate

Physical Address Requirement

Must include valid physical postal address of the sender

Opt-Out Mechanism

Clear and conspicuous unsubscribe link in every email

Prompt Opt-Out Processing

Unsubscribe requests must be honored within 10 business days

RVM (Ringless Voicemail) Compliance

Ringless voicemail operates in a regulatory gray area. While RVM doesn't technically "call" the recipient (it deposits messages directly to voicemail), Moklo applies conservative compliance standards:

  • Consent Requirement: We require the same consent standards as SMS and voice calls
  • Opt-Out Mechanism: Every RVM includes a callback number for opt-out requests
  • State-Specific Rules: Automatic blocking for states with restrictive RVM regulations
  • Content Guidelines: No deceptive or misleading messages

International Compliance

For campaigns targeting international prospects, Moklo supports compliance with major international regulations:

GDPR (European Union)

General Data Protection Regulation compliance includes:

  • • Explicit consent requirements for data processing
  • • Right to access, rectification, and erasure
  • • Data portability and processing transparency

CASL (Canada)

Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation requirements:

  • • Express or implied consent before sending commercial messages
  • • Clear identification of sender
  • • Unsubscribe mechanism in every message

Compliance Monitoring & Reporting

Moklo provides comprehensive compliance monitoring and reporting tools:

  • Real-Time Alerts: Immediate notification of potential compliance issues
  • Audit Logs: Complete records of all messages, consent, and opt-outs
  • Compliance Dashboard: Visual monitoring of compliance metrics
  • Regulatory Updates: Automatic updates when regulations change
