Notice and Consent

Notice and Consent refers to the process of informing individuals about how their personal information will be used and obtaining their agreement for that use. Essentially, organizations must provide clear information (notice) about data collection practices, such as what data is collected, why it’s collected, and who it will be shared with. Consent means that individuals must agree to these practices, often by taking a specific action, like checking a box or signing a form. This principle is foundational in protecting privacy and ensuring individuals have control over their personal information.
