Regulation overview, terms, and concepts


GDPR Article 4 – Definitions
“(7) | ‘controller’ means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly
with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and
means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria
for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law;”
“(8) | ‘processor’ means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes
personal data on behalf of the controller;”
“(11) | ‘consent’ of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of
the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement
to the processing of personal data relating to him or her;”
Summary
Controllers determine the purposes and means of processing
Controllers must adhere to certain presentation and collection of consent
Scope
All processing based on consent
Other Requirements
▪ Freely given
▪ Specific
▪ Informed
▪ Unambiguous

GDPR Article 7 – Conditions for consent


“1. Where processing is based on consent, the controller shall be able to demonstrate that the data subject
has consented to processing of his or her personal data.

Copyright © 2022 OneTrust LLC. Proprietary & Confidential.

9
OneTrust Consent & Preference Management Expert Reference Guide

2. If the data subject's consent is given in the context of a written declaration which also concerns other
matters, the request for consent shall be presented in a manner which is clearly distinguishable from the other
matters, in an intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language. Any part of such a
declaration which constitutes an infringement of this Regulation shall not be binding.
3. The data subject shall have the right to withdraw his or her consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent
shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. Prior to giving consent,
the data subject shall be informed thereof. It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent.
4. When assessing whether consent is freely given, utmost account shall be taken of whether, inter alia, the
performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is conditional on consent to the processing of
personal data that is not necessary for the performance of that contract.”
Summary
Controllers shall be able to demonstrate that they have obtained valid consent
Scope
All processing based on consent
Other Requirements
▪ Clearly distinguishable from the other matters
▪ Intelligible and easily accessible form
▪ Clear and plain language
▪ Right to withdraw consent
▪ Performance of a contract cannot be conditional on consent,
if the processing is not necessary for the contract

Terms & concepts: consent as a legal basis


Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data
subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the
processing of personal data relating to him or her
Freely given: “As a general rule, the GDPR prescribes that if the data subject has no real choice, feels compelled
to consent or will endure negative consequences if they do not consent, then consent will not be valid.”
Reference: EDPB Guidelines on consent
Specific: “…Consent of the data subject must be given in relation to ‘one or more specific’ purposes and that a
data subject has a choice in relation to each of them. The requirement that consent must be ‘specific’ aims to
ensure a degree of user control and transparency for the data subject. “

OneTrust Consent & Preference Management Expert Reference Guide

Reference: EDPB Guidelines on consent


Informed: “Providing information to data subjects prior to obtaining their consent is essential in order to enable
them to make informed decisions, understand what they are agreeing to, and for example exercise their right
to withdraw their consent. “
Reference: EDPB Guidelines on consent
Unambiguous: “…Consent requires a statement from the data subject or a clear affirmative act which means
that it must always be given through an active motion or declaration. It must be obvious that the data subject
has consented to the particular processing.”
Reference: EDPB Guidelines on consent
Affirmative action: “A ’clear affirmative act’ means that the data subject must have taken a deliberate action to
consent to the particular processing ... Consent can be collected through a written or (a recorded) oral statement,
including by electronic means. “
Reference: EDPB Guidelines on consent

Terms & concepts: types of consent


Explicit consent: “The term explicit refers to the way consent is expressed by the data subject. It means that
the data subject must give an express statement of consent. An obvious way to make sure consent is explicit
would be to expressly confirm consent in a written statement.”
Reference: EDPB Guidelines on Consent
Implied consent: “presumed consents that were based on a more implied form of action by the data subject”
Reference: EDPB Guidelines on Consent
Opt-in: an active affirmative indication of choice; i.e., checking a box signaling a desire to share his or her
information
Opt-out: taking an action (such as unchecking a box) to signal a desire to not share his or her information

LGPD, articles 5, 7 & 8


Article 5: Definition of consent
XII – consent: free, informed, and unambiguous manifestation whereby the data subject agrees to her/his
processing of personal data for a given purpose;”
Article 7: Legal bases or circumstances under which data processing may be carried out
Article 8: Conditions for obtaining, re-obtaining and proving receipt of consent, as well as conditions for
revocation of consent

A consumer shall have the right to direct a business not to sell or share the personal information with a third
party.
Section 1798.125: Right to not be discriminated against; financial incentives

under the CPRA. This includes withdrawing consent or opting out of the sale of personal information.
A business may offer financial incentives for the collection of personal information; and may offer a different
price, rate, level, or quality of goods or services to the consumer if that price or difference is reasonably
related to the value provided to the business by the consumer's data.

Consent & Preference Management overview


Consent & Preference Management module overview

Three architecture components of consent

Copyright © 2022 OneTrust LLC. Proprietary & Confidential.

14
OneTrust Consent & Preference Management Expert Reference Guide

Key terminology
▪ Data subject: the individual who consents to their personal data being processed
▪ Data element: additional details related to a data subject that can be updated via the OneTrust preference
center
▪ Purpose of processing: reason why a business is collecting and using personal data
▪ Collection point: systems or in-person sign-ups where data subject provides information to your business
for processing purposes
▪ Preference center: OneTrust hosted form that allows for a data subject to easily update their profile
information and preferences

Best practices and implementation considerations


▪ Consent management considerations
Before starting to build tools or integrate with existing collection points, we need to identify all purposes of
processing and confirm these purposes with legal and privacy teams.
▪ System requirements
Other pieces we need to consider are the systems we use to gather and track consent. And then which systems
rely on consent being fed back into the tool.
Example: OneTrust tracks and gathers consent and preferences. HubSpot and Salesforce rely on consent to
send emails and segment users.
▪ Data subject and reporting requirements
When capturing consent, you will want to identify your data subject, and that’s where you are going to use data
elements. You can create and customize data elements to act as descriptors and potential identifiers for your
collection points. Example of data elements include first name, last name, address, mobile and email. Data
elements bring structure to the data being collected across your organization’s collection points.
When you build these data elements, you will also define your main identifier, the data element you will use to
uniquely identify each data subject. Most of the time, it’s going to be the email address or phone number. Some
organizations using third-party services can also choose to use third-party unique ID as a main identifier.
In terms of reporting, you will have to decide whether you want to capture consent at an individual transaction
level (e.g., consent withdrawn, not given, etc.) or only track when consent is granted for a specific reason or
purpose.

Consent & Preference Management use case


Zentoso use case
Zentoso wants a single source of truth for their consents and preferences. They also want their customers to
be able to easily manage any of their preferences and profile information on a single platform.
Zentoso collects consent for marketing communications and tracks acceptance of terms and conditions at point
of sign-up. They also capture consent for information sharing on upcoming events & activities newsletter and
data analytics via a third-party system.
Zentoso Company is a global corporation and therefore wants to ensure they meet regulatory requirements
across the globe including the CPRA opt-out of sale. Any changes must also be reflected in their marketing
tool as both field teams and automated campaigns will need to check for this consent.

OneTrust Consent & Preference Management Expert Reference Guide

What is a purpose?
GDPR Requirement: Purpose of Processing
Do you consent to receiving marketing communication from us?
Purposes are the reasons why you will be collecting and processing a data subject's consent.
Manage versions of a purpose
If the purpose you want to modify is already published, you will need to create a new version of the purpose to
make additional changes. The new version of the purpose will then be placed in Draft status. If you decide that
you no longer want the draft version of the purpose, you can delete the draft on the Version History pane. Only
Draft purposes can be deleted.
Manage translations for a purpose
When you initially create the purpose, the name and description that you enter will be used internally in the
application to help you identify the purpose of processing. The default language that you selected when creating
the purpose will be automatically added to the Translations table on the Supported Languages tab along with
the content you entered for the name and description.
When purposes are displayed publicly, like in collection points and preference centers, it is the translations that
will be used for both the default language and additional languages in which you want to translate the purpose.
Modifications to the translations can be made on the Supported Languages tab.
To manage several languages in a collection point or preference center, you need to define the various
translations for the purposes you want to display.

What about Zentoso? Zentoso needs to define the following purposes:


▪ Terms & conditions
▪ Marketing communications
▪ Upcoming events & activities newsletter

Exercise: create a purpose


Learn how to create purposes to document why you need to collect consent
1. First purpose: Terms & conditions
Step 1: In the Consent & Preference Management Module,
Click the Purposes tab under the Setup section on the left

Copyright © 2022 OneTrust LLC. Proprietary & Confidential.

19
OneTrust Consent & Preference Management Expert Reference Guide

Step 2: Click Add New at the top right


Step 3: Purpose Name = Terms & conditions
Step 4: Description = Terms & conditions
Note: Organization(s) is optional. Select the organizations to which you want to link the purpose of processing.
If an organization is not selected in this field, the consent will be visible to all users.
Step 5: Default Language = English
Step 6: Click the blue Create Purpose button
Step 7: Click on the title of the purpose you just created, it should be in Draft
Step 8: Click on Publish
Step 9: In the pop-up modal that appears, click on Publish

2. Second purpose: Marketing communications


Repeat steps 1 to 9

3. Third purpose: Upcoming events & activities newsletter


Repeat steps 1 to 6, please leave this purpose in Draft

What are custom preferences?


GDPR Requirement: purpose of processing
You can create different purposes to help data subjects understand why you would like to collect and process
their personal information. Further, you can associate custom preferences with these purposes of processing
to provide data subjects with more granular options for which they can grant consent that can capture a wider
range of their preferences.
Examples:
▪ Frequency:
Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Annually
▪ Medium of Communication:
SMS, Phone, Postal, Email
Note: Topics are the legacy version of custom preferences

Copyright © 2022 OneTrust LLC. Proprietary & Confidential.

20
OneTrust Consent & Preference Management Expert Reference Guide

What about Zentoso? Zentoso needs to create the following groups of custom preferences:
▪ Method of communication
Email
Phone
Post
▪ Types of newsletters
Product Updates
Promotions

Exercise: create custom preferences


Learn how to create custom preferences to allow for preferences granularity
First group of Custom Preferences: Methods of communication
Step 1: In the Consent & Preference Management Module,
Click the Custom Preferences tab under the Setup section on the left
Step 2: Click Add New at the top right
Step 3: Name = Method of Communication
Step 4: Selection Type = MultiChoice
Step 5: Display As = Checkboxes
Step 6: Default Language = English
Note: Organization(s) is optional. Select the organization(s) that the custom preference will be visible to. Only
users linked to those organizations will be able to view the custom preference.
Step 7: Description = Method of Communication
Note: Enable the Required setting to make this field required when a data subject is submitting preference
selections
Step 8: Add New Option = Add 3 separate options: Email, Phone, Post
Step 9: Click on the blue Create button

Copyright © 2022 OneTrust LLC. Proprietary & Confidential.

21
OneTrust Consent & Preference Management Expert Reference Guide

Second group of Custom Preferences: Types of newsletters


Repeat steps 1 to 9,
Step 3: Name = Types of Communications
Step 8: Add New Option = Add 2 separate options: Product Updates, Promotions

Now, add these custom preferences to a purpose by following these steps:


Step 1: Click Purposes on the left side of the screen under Setup
Step 2: Click the Upcoming events & activities newsletter purpose you created earlier
Step 3: Select the Custom Preferences Tab
Step 4: Then click on the blue Select Custom Preferences button
Step 5: Select the 2 custom preference you created
Step 6: Click Add
Step 7: Click on Publish
Step 8: In the pop-up modal that appears, click on Publish

Best practices for purposes vs. custom preferences


When should you create an additional purpose vs a preference?
Things to consider:
▪ Reporting
When viewing a data subject’s details would you want that to stand out immediately?
Purposes are more easily identifiable and form the backbone of data subject reporting.
▪ User interface
How do you want your forms and preference centers to look?
Preferences typically take the form of things such as Communication medium, Frequency, Types of
Newsletters, etc.

Collection point best practices


Collection points define the points of interaction where consent is initially gathered and recorded, and they can
be set up to reflect digital interactions, such as web forms and website banners, and analog interactions, such
as phone conversations, physical mail, or in-person interactions.
▪ Consent collection considerations
▪ Web/signup form
▪ Marketing/automation system
▪ In person events
▪ CRM

What is a consent interaction?


Actions that unmistakably support the conclusion that consent has been given.
Form Submission Only - The web form includes a standard HTML Submit button that a data subject can click
to give consent

Opt In Checkbox + Form Submission - The web form includes blank check boxes that a data subject can
select to indicate consent for those selections before submitting the form

Uncheck to Opt Out + Form Submission - The web form includes pre-selected options that a data subject will
have to clear before submitting the form, otherwise a consent record will be created for those options

Check to Opt Out + Form Submission - The web form includes blank check boxes that a data subject will have
to select to indicate no consent for those selections before submitting the form

Custom Single Trigger - The web form includes a single action that is not an HTML submit button that a data
subject can use to give consent

Custom Conditional Trigger - The web form includes two (or more) actions or conditions, which are not
standard HTML form actions, that a data subject must complete or meet to give consent

Collection points define the points of interaction where consent is initially gathered and recorded, and they can
be set up to reflect digital interactions, such as web forms and website banners, and analog interactions, such
as phone conversations, physical mail, or in-person interactions.

Define a visual representation of a collection point


▪ Processing purposes
Link the collection point to the purposes previously created.
▪ Data subject identifier
Used to indicate the type of unique identifier used for your data subjects. It is usually the e-mail address.
▪ Consent interaction type
Pick among the interaction types previously defined.
▪ Data elements
This field is optional. You can indicate which other data elements you are collecting on this webform / system.
(First Name, Last Name, etc.)

Manage collection point settings:


HOSTED SDK: The Hosted SDK makes it easier to join OneTrust collection points with your webform by not
requiring edits to be made to the scripting within your website form
DOUBLE OPT-IN: This will send a confirmation e-mail to the data subject in order to confirm its identity and
the related consent
COLLECTION POINT EVENTS: This must be enabled to allow 3rd Party Integrations to this collection point via
our OneTrust Integrations

What about Zentoso? Zentoso needs to create the following collection points:
▪ Registration webform
Consent Interaction – Form Submission Only
▪ Custom API
Designed for third party system to write Consent requests to OneTrust

What is a preference center?


The preference center provides data subjects with the ability to give, update or withdraw consent as needed
whenever they interact with the preference center.

Build a preference center


Set up the preference center’s purposes
At any time, you can come here to modify the purposes that will be displayed in your Preference Center.
Note: You can decide to give the option to opt-out to OneTrust’s automated e-mails.

Customize the branding


You can setup your own labels and custom CSS – if you have a CSS sheet hosted on your side

Integrate the preference center


You can copy the first link on your website, and the data subjects will be able to log into their preference
center and update their consents
You can provide the second link directly to a specific Data Subject so he can access his preference center
without login. The tokenid piece is individual and retrievable via API

Manage languages:
You can setup a collection point in several languages
This will allow the Data Subject to switch the translations of the purposes to the wanted language

Integrating with client systems


Learn how to test an API call to connect with 3 rd party systems to push a consent record into OneTrust

The Consent Receipts API allows an external application to submit a request to store consent transactions for
individual collection points. Each Collection Point must first be set up in OneTrust to generate a valid request
token. So basically, for this use case, you will want to use the API method if you want to generate a consent
receipt from a third-party application into OneTrust. In this section, we are going to test the API call to allow the
integration between that third party application and OneTrust.
