Consents

The regulation requires that every request for consent is presented to the Data Subject clearly, using language they can easily understand. The Data Controller must also specify how they intend to use the collected personal data.

Any consent must be entirely freely given, in an informed fashion. Explicit information must be provided about the processing of personal data, such as the purpose and type of data that will be used, as well as, for example, the ability to withdraw consent in the future.

Find out how to manage consents, using the Contactlab Marketing Cloud:
