Internal Consent Record
For important consent events, Immense Click should retain an auditable record containing, where appropriate:
- user ID or pseudonymous identifier;
- consent category;
- consent status;
- timestamp;
- policy or notice version;
- method/source;
- applicable country or consent regime where necessary;
- withdrawal timestamp;
- and relevant technical evidence.
Do not store more information than is reasonably needed to demonstrate the consent event.
Example Consent Event
User: 8f31…
Category: marketing_email
Status: granted
Notice version: marketing-consent-v2
Timestamp: 2026-09-10T14:32:18Z
Source: signup_form
A later withdrawal should ordinarily create a new event rather than silently overwriting all evidence of the previous decision.
Example:
User: 8f31…
Category: marketing_email
Status: withdrawn
Timestamp: 2026-11-02T09:10:04Z
Source: unsubscribe_link
This allows Immense Click to demonstrate both when consent existed and when it stopped.
Consent Is Revocable
Where processing relies on consent, users should be able to withdraw that consent without unreasonable friction.
Withdrawal should be communicated to applicable systems and vendors so that future processing reflects the updated decision.
Retention
Consent and suppression evidence may be retained for an appropriate compliance period even after a person withdraws consent where reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance, resolve disputes, or prevent accidental re-subscription.
Such records should not be used as permission to resume marketing.
