Course Description

This course describes the Consent as a lawful basis of processing personal data. It describes in detail about how to obtain a Consent, the elements that must exist in order a Consent to be considered as a valid Consent and the Consent withdrawal process. It explains the various good and bad methods used to obtain a Consent and the information that a controller should provide to data subjects when the data subjects’ Consent is collected.

This course also provides examples to understand how to obtain valid Consents and how a controller can comply with the data subjects’ request for Consent withdrawal. This seminar aims to provide a clear explanation about the Consent for processing personal data and to explain in brief what a controller shall do and what to avoid when collecting a Consent from data subjects.
