Let\u2019s find out in this article!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With non-compliance fines rising, customers are becoming more concerned about their personal data than ever.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it\u2019s for your customer data platform or another tool, it\u2019s always important to have the proper consent management plan set up that is easy for your customers to understand and comply with regulations and laws.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discussions regarding consent management have rapidly evolved over the years, and how to maintain compliance regulations as landscapes change. Sometimes, it can be challenging to understand what data you collect and how you should store it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is consent management?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, let\u2019s dive deeper into <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osano.com\/articles\/consent-management-101-everything-you-need-to-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">understanding consent management<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. First, it informs users how your businesses collect and use data, which allows them to refuse or consent to that type of usage. This may comprise a set of policies, a process, or even a system that generally includes more than one top practice.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A consent management framework is a key to ensuring compliance with data privacy laws such as GDPR and CCPA. These laws were passed only a few years ago, so the way we process data has definitely changed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why is consent management important for your business?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consent management is important for a business in several ways; here are some of the main reasons:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Consumers want control of their data and privacy\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the most important parts of consent management are allowing consumers the control they want. Privacy and internet access are considered to be fundamental human rights. While many privacy rights were established before data privacy laws, consumers increasingly demand transparency in online activities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Public trust is built\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The size of data breaches might be a vast concern for people because it will decrease people&#8217;s trust in protecting sensitive data. Nevertheless, even customers who aren\u2019t impacted by any security breaches can psychologically affect them. In fact, a report by Mckinsey claimed that nearly 90% of customers <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">would stop doing business with a company that uses their data unauthorized.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Noncompliance<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No company can get away without complying with privacy regulations, and larger corporations have continuously been an offender of privacy laws. The GDPR and CCPA are the strictest data privacy laws and have given large fines to companies that fail to comply. This is to ensure consumers are protected and don\u2019t face unnecessary issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How can you use consent management, and why should you use it?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lawfully speaking, consent management is a primary basis for processing consumer data. The best way to process consumer data in several situations is to maintain consent. However, this shouldn\u2019t be an option, and according to the GDPR, there are five other methods you can use to process consumer data:\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Public task performance: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Authorities that perform duties daily based on their job descriptions don\u2019t need to comply with consent management standards since they carry out tasks based on public interest and official authority. However, this doesn&#8217;t apply to you if you aren\u2019t working for a public institution.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Legal obligation: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Occurs when you process data that is legally acceptable. A great example here would be criminal records.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Vital interest: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If processing customer data is a fundamental act of someone, the processing is fundamentally monitored under the GDPR. However, this doesn\u2019t apply to an everyday e-commerce business.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Contract performance: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case your business is providing good services to your customers,\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Legitimate interest: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Involves when you may process customer data without any valid reason. Nevertheless, it\u2019s for legal interpretation and has already undergone several debates.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, remember that not all these bases apply to all online stores. In short, you need to obtain consent to be allowed to process customers\u2019 data legally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Also read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unremot.com\/blog\/security-consultant\/\">Security Consultant | 12 best career options!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><b>Consider using consent management platforms\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A consent management platform (CMP) is an excellent tool for collecting and managing user consent and passing down important information to third-party vendors. In addition, CMPs can automate consent processes by gaining permission to use cookies and track data, allowing users to update preferences much more easily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/unremot.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CMPs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can comply with changing data privacy laws, helping business owners comply with different data privacy regulations. Nevertheless, they can also show easy-to-understand cookies and provide users with further information on how data is collected and used, building trust over time, especially when a user opens a web page for the first time.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, that isn\u2019t the end. A CMP has many other benefits associated with it, and some of them are:\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Build trust with potential and regular customers: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When customers see that companies want the best for them, they\u2019ll try to create positive experiences that they\u2019ll share with their friends and family members.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Quick handling of DSARs<\/b><b>: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The GDPR can provide people with the right to access, and the CCPA provides similar rights, too, allowing EU residents to find out more about what an organization wants to know about them when submitting requests. Automated workflows can help companies manage DSARs.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Saving time and resources: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A CMP can significantly help users save time and resources since it automates the consent process and stays updated with any regulation changes. Nevertheless, no matter where you do business, it still helps you in several ways.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Streamlining operations: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Companies create central repositories for compliant consent responses they can use across several departments and in the company.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Wrapping it all up\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s about it for this article.
