Consent

    What information must we provide when asking for consent from users?

    Short Answer

    You must clearly state what data is being collected, why it is being used, and how it will be processed, in simple language.

    Answer

    You must clearly inform users about what data is being collected and why it is being used, in simple and understandable language.

    This ensures that consent is truly informed and reduces disputes or complaints later.

    Law Reference

    Section 5 – Notice

    "A notice… describing personal data and purpose of processing."

    Business Impact

    Consent notices must be written in plain language, not legal jargon. Poor notice design can invalidate consent and expose businesses to penalties.

    Real-World Example

    Instead of 'We process your data per our terms,' say 'We collect your name and email to send you weekly promotional offers. You can opt out anytime.'
