2. Data processing consent
If processing is based on consent, you must be able to document that the private individual has given consent to the processing of his or her data.
This can be done, for example, by ticking a box when visiting a website, or another statement or action that indicates in this connection the private person’s acceptance of the proposed processing of his or her data. Silence, pre-checked fields, or inactivity therefore do not constitute consent. Consent should cover all treatment activities performed for the same purpose or purposes. When treatment serves several purposes, consent should be given individually for all of them.
Requests for consent must be made in an easy-to-understand and easily accessible forms.
The private individual may withdraw his consent at any time. It must be as easy to withdraw his consent as to give it. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the treatment based on consent before the withdrawal.
Consent must be freely given. This means that the conclusion of an agreement must not be made conditional on the private individual agreeing to the processing of any personal data that is over and above that required for fulfilling the agreement.
Example of design of consent
“By placing an order, I give consent for [company name] to process my data to fulfil the agreement with [company name] and for the administration of my profile on the company’s website.”
Data processing consent is handled on the website. Not by the system
It is the owner of the website, that is responsible to be complient with data processing consent.
3. Marketing content
Any submission of marketing channels, such as newsletters, promotional emails or otherwise, will in principle require the consent of the recipient.
Examples of design of consent
“Yes please, I would like to receive offers via email from [company name] for [products] [services].”There must be a field here that the customer can cross off.
Marketing consent is handled on the website. Not by system
It’s the owner of the website, that is responsible to be compliant with marketing consent.
