A User Consent Management Platform (CMP) helps organizations manage and document user consent for data collection and processing. CMPs are a requirement for complying with privacy regulations. They ensure that consent is obtained, tracked, and recorded in a transparent and auditable way.
Key Functions of a CMP:
- Collect Consent: Get explicit permission from users before processing their data.
- Manage Consent: Track and handle consent preferences over time.
- Ensure Compliance: Meet privacy laws and regulations.
- Increase Transparency: Inform users about how their data will be used.
2. Why Do You Need a CMP?
First, consumers are increasingly seeking control over their personal data and expect stronger privacy protections.
Second, various countries and regions have laws that require businesses to obtain explicit user consent before storing or sharing customer information. With stringent regulations like GDPR, mishandling consent can lead to substantial fines - up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher - and damage to your reputation.
A CMP helps you manage consent effectively, ensuring compliance and mitigating these risks. It also builds trust by clearly explaining how user data is used.
