Offshore AI Can Expose Confidential Client Information

Legal intake calls can contain confidential communications, identity documents and details of disputes or transactions. If an APP entity discloses personal information to an overseas recipient, Australian Privacy Principle 8 can leave the practice accountable for how that recipient handles it.

From 1 July 2026, legal and conveyancing businesses that provide covered services also face AUSTRAC customer due diligence, reporting and record-keeping duties. AiDial keeps customer and call data in Australia, giving your practice clearer control over sensitive information. Your professional, Privacy Act and AML/CTF obligations still apply.

Australian data residency for client call records

Client call data can remain in Australia with project-specific access and retention settings. Your firm decides what the receptionist may collect, who can see it and how long recordings or transcripts are kept.

All AI software and data remain within Australian cloud infrastructure

Compliant with Australian data sovereignty laws

Multi-layered firewalls and strict access control

End-to-end encrypted conversations and data storage

Approved firm information for your virtual legal receptionist

Custom AI Training from Your Own Content

Use approved website content, FAQs, service areas and intake instructions as the source for answers. When information is missing or a caller asks for legal advice, the receptionist takes a message or hands the enquiry to staff instead of guessing.

Keep the firm number clients already know

Or Get a New 1300 or Local Number

Forward selected calls from your existing firm number, or use a separate local or 1300 number for intake or after-hours service. Routing can follow the hours and teams you choose.

Hand sensitive or complex enquiries to staff

Intelligent Call Escalation

Sensitive, urgent or complex enquiries can be transferred using rules approved by your firm. Staff can receive the caller’s reason, contact details and collected intake information with the handover.

Keep client communication consistent across channels

Phone, SMS and web messaging can share approved firm information when those channels are included. Each workflow can collect the right details, send a confirmation or move the enquiry to staff.

Route calls by matter type and urgency

Route calls by matter type, office, opening hours or urgency. New enquiries can go to intake, existing-client calls to the assigned team and requests for legal advice to a qualified person.

Compliance controls for legal call workflows

Configure consent notices, access controls, retention settings and redaction around your firm’s obligations. AiDial provides the reception workflow and Australian data residency, while your firm remains responsible for professional obligations and legal advice.

Reduce sensitive details in stored call records

Our Proprietary Engine Detects TFN, ABN/ACN, BSB, Medicare, Super ID, CRN, ... All Australian Formats

Redaction can mask configured identifiers and sensitive terms in transcripts or reports, including TFNs, bank details and internal matter numbers. Your firm confirms what should be masked, who may access the record and how long it is retained.
