Consent Dashboard
Building a single pane of glass for user privacy.
🎯 Learning Objectives
- ▸ Design a consent dashboard
- ▸ Provide transparency on data sharing
- ▸ Enable easy management of preferences
What goes in a Dashboard?
A good consent dashboard should answer these questions for the user:
- • What data do you have? (Profile, Location, Browsing history)
- • Why do you have it? (Service delivery, Marketing, Analytics)
- • Who is it shared with? (List of third-party vendors)
- • How can I delete it? (Link to erasure requests)
Real-world Examples
Google's "My Activity" page is a classic example of a consent dashboard. It shows what Google has collected and allows the user to delete it or turn off tracking.
While building a full dashboard isn't mandatory for every small business, it is highly recommended for Data Fiduciaries handling significant amounts of user data.
