How can I require Customer consent for data privacy and marketing?
To enable Customer consent checkboxes for data privacy and marketing, choose Account > Privacy
These Customer consent checkboxes have been implemented in order to allow you the flexibility to comply with privacy regulations in your region.
Once enabled, these checkboxes will appear when a Customer creates an account via your mini-site, website widget or if an account is created for a Customer internally.
The Privacy Consent when enabled is Mandatory. This means that it will not be possible to create an account for a Customer, if this checkbox is not selected.
| Field | Description |
| Privacy Consent Enabled | Select this checkbox to enable the consent feature |
| Privacy Consent Title | Enter the title of the consent, eg 'Privacy Consent' |
| Privacy Consent Content | Enter your Privacy Policy, e.g. 'We collect your data in accordance with privacy legislation' |
| Privacy Consent Accept Label | Enter the accept checkbox label, eg 'I accept' |
The Marketing Consent is optional. This means that if a Customer has this checkbox de-selected, an account can still be created, but this Customer will be unsubscribed from mass emails and mass SMS campaigns. These settings do not affect transactional emails such as confirmations and reminders.
