User Consent

User consent is the permission someone gives before their personal information is collected, used, or shared. It ensures individuals have control over their data and understand how it will be handled. Consent is usually provided through an explicit agreement, such as checking a box or signing a form, after being informed about what to expect. It’s a key part of respecting personal privacy and complying with legal standards, giving people confidence that their information is managed responsibly and only for agreed-upon purposes.
