3. Review Policy: Ensure this document is linked to, or cross-referenced with, your organization’s broader Privacy Policy to fulfill transparency requirements under Article 13/14 of the GDPR.
4. Verification: If collecting consent digitally, ensure the "opt-in" mechanism is active (e.g., unticked checkbox) and timestamped, linking the user’s identity to the specific version of the privacy notice displayed at the time of click.
