Consent management
Capturing, recording and honouring individuals’ consent to the processing of their personal data.
Overview
Where processing relies on consent, privacy laws such as the GDPR and PIPEDA require it to be informed, specific and withdrawable, and firms must prove it was given.
It connects most directly to GDPR, PIPEDA and Privacy.
