Continuing as I thought I should cover Europe too, the call recording laws in European countries are not uniform and are primarily governed by the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which requires a lawful basis like explicit consent, legitimate interest, or legal obligation for processing recordings as personal data, along with transparency, data minimization, and security measures. National laws add layers: many countries (e.g., Germany, Italy, Spain) require all-party consent for private calls, while others like France or the UK allow one-party if you're a participant and it's for personal use, but businesses often need explicit consent or notification under ePrivacy rules.
