Ensuring Transparency and Security in Consent Management

In today’s digital landscape, managing user consents securely and transparently is more crucial than ever. Introducing the Distributed Consent Ledger by the Consent Foundation—your solution for robust, blockchain-based consent management.

Distributed Consent Ledger

The Distributed Consent Ledger is a blockchain-based system designed to securely manage and record consent transactions. By utilizing blockchain technology, we ensure that each consent action is transparent, traceable, and immutable. Organizations can now confidently comply with global data protection regulations and build unshakeable trust with their users.

Transparency

Every consent transaction is recorded on the blockchain, providing a transparent and verifiable history of user consents. This ensures that all parties can trust the integrity of the consent data.

Immutability

Once recorded, consent transactions cannot be altered or deleted. This immutability guarantees that the consent history remains accurate and reliable over time.

Security

Our Distributed Consent Ledger employs advanced cryptographic techniques to secure consent data, protecting it from unauthorized access and ensuring the highest level of data integrity.

Compliance

The Distributed Consent Ledger ensures adherence to global data protection standards like DPDPA, GDPR, and CCPA, reducing the risk of non-compliance and penalties.

Our Benefits

Built User Trust

Enhance user confidence by demonstrating a commitment to transparency and security in managing their consents. By using a decentralized network and transparent smart contracts, users can be assured that their consent preferences are handled with the highest standards of integrity. This approach not only safeguards user data but also builds a foundation of trust, as users can see that their permissions are respected and unaltered. Transparency in consent management fosters stronger user relationships and encourages greater user engagement and loyalty.

Reduce Legal Risks

Minimize the risk of legal issues related to consent management by maintaining a verifiable and unalterable record of user consents. Legal challenges often arise from disputes over whether proper consent was obtained and maintained. With an immutable consent ledger, organizations can confidently demonstrate that all user consents are securely recorded and cannot be altered or deleted. This verifiable record provides strong legal protection, ensuring that the organization complies with data privacy laws and regulations, thereby reducing the risk of fines, penalties, and reputational damage.

How It Works?

Collect user consents through your applications or platforms via consent managers. These managers facilitate the capturing of explicit user permissions for data collection, ensuring that users are informed and their choices are accurately recorded.

Processing

Utilize open-source public smart contracts that can be verified by anyone. These smart contracts handle the logic for processing consents, ensuring that the conditions under which consent is given are transparent and immutable.

Consensus

The decentralized network of data-blind peers reaches a consensus on the validity of the consent transactions. This process ensures that all records are agreed upon and accepted by the network, preventing any single point of failure or manipulation.

Recording

Each consent action is recorded on the blockchain, ensuring transparency and immutability. This decentralized ledger ensures that once a consent is recorded, it cannot be altered or deleted, providing a permanent and tamper-proof record.

Verification

Authorized parties can verify the integrity of the consent records at any time. This verification process allows stakeholders to ensure that consents are valid, up-to-date, and have not been tampered with, fostering trust and compliance.

Complaince Reporting

Generate reports and audit trails to demonstrate compliance with data protection regulations. These reports provide a comprehensive overview of all consent transactions, making it easier to prove adherence to legal requirements and to respond to regulatory audits effectively.
