Tennessee wiretapping and electronic surveillance law (including cellular and cordless telephone recording)

Tennessee is a one-party consent state: a person who is a party to a wire, oral, or electronic communication, or who has one party's prior consent, may intercept it unless the purpose is a criminal or tortious act. A 2024 amendment repealed the statute's civil damages action and declared that the law does not restrict businesses from disclosing communications to vendors or using vendor cookies and pixels on websites and apps, a response to web-tracking wiretap suits.
