Consent Models

Consent models are frameworks that define how individuals give permission for their data or decisions to be used. They determine when, how, and under what conditions consent is obtained, managed, and revoked. For example, some models require explicit, informed agreement (explicit consent), while others rely on implied or passive acceptance (implied consent). These models help organizations respect personal autonomy, ensure legal compliance, and build trust by clarifying what consent entails and how it can be withdrawn or modified over time.
