User Consent Overview

Open Social
Open Social Open Social • 15 May 2018

Once you have set-up your data policy for users to agree during sign-up, you can keep track of the status in the User Consent Overview:

 

 

Updates/Revisions of the Data Policy

When you update your Data Policy (via the Data Policy Settings), you will create a new revision of the Data Policy. Existing users will therefore be given the opportunity to review the changes and provide/withdraw their consent to these changes. You can also keep track of this in the User Consent Overview mentioned above.

The data policy consent can be made mandatory or optional for your users.

  • When made mandatory, regular users will need to provide consent to the data policy in order to continue using the platform after a new revision of the data policy has been created. 
  • When made optional, regular users will be notified about data policy and each new revision, but they do not need to provide consent before continuing to use the platform. 

Site managers can create, update data policy and configure whether data policy consent is mandatory via the site manager dashboard.

Please note that the data policy consent feature will be visible to regular users only when a data policy has been created.
