What is consent?
Consent (also called informed consent): A person's clear, voluntary and informed agreement to the processing of their personal data for a stated purpose. Valid agreement is specific, easy to understand and as easy to withdraw as to give, and it cannot be bundled with unrelated conditions.
Consent: an example
An app shows a plain-language screen asking, 'May we use your voice recordings to improve speech recognition?' with separate accept and decline buttons.
