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.
