Consent on record.
Audit-ready on demand.

The AutoLens CASL gate is one set of checks that every outbound text must pass. Every text, whether it comes from the AI or from a rep, passes the same checks: opt-out list, consent, quiet hours, and an identification footer. Each send records why it was allowed, so you can answer an audit question without calling a developer.

Tooling, not a legal certification. Your consent practices still matter.

The send gate

Five checks on every text.

AI replies, price-drop alerts, and a rep typing in the inbox all go through the same rules. A message that fails a check is not sent, and the reason is logged.

  1. 01
    Opt-out list

    Has this number opted out at your dealership? Checked in every format a phone number can be typed.

  2. 02
    Consent

    Express consent for promotions. Implied consent when the buyer texted you first, valid for 6 months.

  3. 03
    Quiet hours

    9am–9pm in the recipient’s own time zone, worked out from their area code. Replies to a live conversation go through.

  4. 04
    Identification

    Promotions and texts you start carry your name, a contact link, and STOP instructions.

  5. 05
    Send and record

    The message goes out with a record of why it was allowed: the consent basis, message type, and language.

Opt-outs

STOP means stop, in both languages.

Keywords are handled when the message arrives, before any AI is involved. CASL requires the acknowledgement, so it goes out even to someone with no consent on file.

  • STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, QUIT, END: suppressed instantly, before the AI sees the message
  • ARRÊT and DÉSABONNER: suppressed, with the confirmation sent back in French
  • Plain language counts too: “stop texting me” is treated as an opt-out
  • HELP and AIDE get a canned help reply. INFO gets a bilingual one
  • A buyer who opted out can’t be re-consented by texting you later
  • Opt-outs apply across the whole dealership, whichever rep or number they texted
Audit & data requests

Answer the question without a developer.

PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25 give people the right to see and delete their data. These tools let an owner handle both from the dashboard.

Audit log

Changes to leads, deals, tasks, and settings are recorded with who, what, and when. Owners and managers can filter by action, person, and date.

CSV export

Export the audit rows you’ve filtered to a spreadsheet when someone asks for them.

Access requests

Export everything held about one lead (profile, messages, consent, deals, tasks) as one JSON file. A 30-day countdown tracks each request.

Erasure requests

Delete a lead and everything attached to it. Personal data is also scrubbed from the audit history, and a record that the erasure happened is kept.

Buyer self-service

Car buyers don’t have an account, so they can verify their phone or email with a one-time code and request their own data or deletion.

Retention

Old data is purged on a schedule. Opt-outs are never purged, because deleting one would let messages start again.

Straight answers

What it doesn’t do.

Worth knowing before you decide, not after.

  • Certify you as compliant

    AutoLens is the machinery, not a legal opinion. Whether you comply still depends on how your team captures consent.

  • Canadian data hosting

    Data is currently hosted in the US (Railway, US-East). This is disclosed in our privacy policy. A Canadian region is planned but has no date yet.

  • Write your French marketing

    French keyword replies are built in. There is no library of French marketing templates.

  • Run your breach response

    Notifying regulators and naming a privacy officer are your dealership’s obligations. We log security events, but we don’t file on your behalf.

Compliance you can show your lawyer.
