Section 5 concerns the notice that accompanies or precedes a request for consent. A notice should be reviewed as a product control, not simply as legal text.
Review points
- Describe the personal data and specified purpose clearly.
- Explain how the individual may exercise rights and make a complaint.
- Make withdrawal and contact paths findable in the actual product journey.
- Ensure translated or accessible versions remain aligned with the approved text.
Notices should be tested with the data flow and consent record design.
