Data collection consent requires a positive opt-in - you should not use pre-ticked boxes or any other method of default consent. To add a checkbox field to your form with a link to your privacy policy or terms of service, follow the steps below.
1. Navigate to Form Library and start editing the form in question, or create a new form.
2. Add a Checkbox (GDPR/TOS) field
3. Customize the field's settings:
- The label/title is how the field will appear in your leads and on the page unless hidden.
- You can mark the field as required so people cannot submit the form without checking it.
- You can display an asterisk or not.
- Hide the label of the field if you only want the option text to appear.
- You can add links to your statement of consent by selecting the word who should have a redirect, and then clicking on the Link Setup option, as shown below. You can add different links to different words.
In the Link Setup section, you can:
- Select the Link type: Outside URL, Landing page (only if the page is published), or File download.
- Add the Link/redirect.
- Add the text or change it if you have already selected it.
- Add an Aria Label.
- Choose whether the link should open in a new tab.
After making all the changes, do not forget to click on Save.
Note: GDPR comes with stricter rules for obtaining consent, which should be reflected on your pages. Follow these guidelines when preparing your statement of consent:
- Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous.
- A request for consent must be intelligible and in clear, plain language.
- Silence, pre-ticked boxes, and inactivity will no longer suffice as consent.
- Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
- Consent for online services from a child under 13 is only valid with parental authorization.
- Organisations must be able to evidence consent.
