Full transcript
The notice is not a formality. It comes first.
Section 5 says every consent request
must be accompanied or preceded by a notice.
Not after. Not on the next screen.
Pause. What must that notice tell you?
The personal data, and the purpose.
How to withdraw, and how to raise a grievance.
And how to complain to the Board.
All three, with the request or before it.
No notice, no valid request.
