Consents
ReachFive ships with a full-fledged consent management module which allows you to collect Consents from your users, in compliance with the GDPR. This page shows you how to manage Consents from the ReachFive Console. This page focuses primarily on standalone consents. For more on grouping consents, see Consent groups.
Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
| For information on collecting and using Consents, see Collect and analyze consents. |

Set the default language for Consents
You must set the account’s default language for Consents in the ReachFive Console. Ensure that all Titles and Descriptions for your Consents are in the same language as your default language. For additional languages, add a translation.
If the Title and Description are in a language that do not match the default language selection in the ReachFive Console, your Consent Title and Description will default to the selected default language, potentially causing translation issues.

Consent versions
When creating a Consent, Version 1 is automatically available to you where you (at a minimum) add the translation for your default account language.
There are a few general rules related to consent versions that are important to understand:
-
If you are managing consents via the Consents API or importing consents, there is no requirement to provide version details as this happens automatically.
-
If you do not provide version details, however, ReachFive assumes that the latest version and default language are what should be used.
| If you want more control over consent versions, you should provide details as this will allow you to more easily differentiate between versions. |
Explicit opt-out option
By default, an opt-out consent type is automatically accepted when a user signs up regardless of how the user authenticates. This means that any consent with the type, opt-out, the consent is selected by the user upon sign up meaning they will have chosen not to opt-out but rather accept the consent.
If you would like it so that opt-out consents are not automatically granted and users must select the box in order to accept the consent, you’ll need the Explicit Opt-Out Grant feature enabled.
To have the Explicit Opt-Out Grant feature enabled, please let your ReachFive contact know you want the feature and we’ll enable it for you.
