Sections 2(g) and 6(9); Rule 4Processing & Consent
Consent Manager
A Consent Manager is registered with the Board to enable individuals to give, manage, review and withdraw consent through an accessible, transparent and interoperable platform.
Meaning and legal context
Selling consent-management software alone does not establish registered Consent Manager status. Registration requirements and commencement must be considered separately.
Practical application
Verify registration before describing a provider as a statutory Consent Manager.
