Explicit Consent Texts

1. What this page is for

For some kinds of processing we ask for your separate explicit consent or opt-in. This page contains the full texts.

Rules that apply to each of them:

• Giving consent is entirely optional. If you do not, you can still use the Platform's core services.
• Each consent is asked for separately; boxes are never pre-ticked.
• You can withdraw consent at any time, as easily as you gave it. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of earlier processing.
• Consent texts are kept separate from the Data Protection Notice.
