Receipts

Definition

Receipts are files created each time a subject submits their consent and choices about a given context. They are stored in the easy-to-process XML format, but can also be generated in a more human-readable format (namely PDF).

They can act as proof of consent as they hold all the necessary information:

• the subject identifier
• the language used
• the collection method
• the collection and expiration time
• the receipt identifier
• the exact content of each element (processing, preferences, terms & conditions) which was shown to the subject
• the subject's choice about each element
• the name of the data controller
• a link to the privacy policy
• a QR code allowing the subject to change their choices (if possible)

Access

If you wish so, you can configure your contexts so that subjects will receive a PDF receipt by email upon consent submission. They can then freely dispose of these proofs.

All receipts are also accessible via the operator backoffice and, of course, through the API.
