toestemmingslevenscycli

Toestemmingslevenscycli, also known as consent life cycles, refer to the various stages and circumstances in which an individual consents to the processing of their personal data. This concept is primarily observed in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a European Union legislation aimed at enhancing data subject rights and protecting personal data.

A toestemmingslevenscyclus can begin in various ways, depending on the context and the type of data being processed. For instance, it might start when a data subject explicitly provides consent for the collection and processing of their personal data during a registration process or when filling out a form. Consent can be given verbally, through electronic means, or in writing.

Throughout the consent life cycle, the original purpose for which the data was collected and processed may change. Consent can be withdrawn, suspended, or renewed as circumstances change. Notably, data subjects have the right to have their personal data erased (right to erasure) or rectified. The supervising authority, in this case, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and the relevant Data Protection Authority (DPA) in the Member States, ensure that the regulations are enforced and adhered to.

Businesses handling personal data processes are required to maintain a record of toestemmingslevenscycli, which includes clear and unambiguous records of how and when the consent was given, as well as any subsequent adjustments. The GDPR emphasizes the importance of keeping records up to date and ensuring that every change in an individual’s consent status is properly documented.
