Digital consent profiles

What are Digital consent profiles (DCPs)

The boundaries and articulation of digital consent has been determined by individual-company relationships, however individuals within digital society are also responsible for sharing the digital information of others. There's no real way this is being talked about, or no framework for determining what levels of permission or authorisation should/could exist within a social contract for digital consent.

DCPs aim to remove any ambiguity on what a person's stance is on the proliferation of their personal digital information by others (not companies).

DCPs help individuals articulate digital autonomy.

How they work

Digital consent profiles are social agreements between individuals, on what (and how) personal data can shared with other individuals.

They can be created for the self or on behalf of others (parents drafting and sharing for their children).
