Understandable consent
Understandable consent refers to the clear and transparent mechanisms employed to obtain user consent for data collection and usage. It ensures that individuals are fully informed about what data is being collected, how it will be used, and with whom it may be shared. This involves presenting information in an easily understandable format, using straightforward language and avoiding legal jargon that might confuse users. The aim is to empower users to make informed decisions about their personal data. Effective practices for obtaining understandable consent include concise privacy notices, prominent consent requests, and options for users to manage their consent preferences. Such practices are essential for compliance with data protection regulations and for building trust with users.
