Gather Consent and Disclosure Authorizations from Customers
Make sure that your customers agree to information disclosure policies before capturing or sharing sensitive data. Monitor consent and disclosure authorization requests provided to users, and track their responses. The process also supports consent on behalf of another person or group.
You can track whether a person has seen, signed, or rejected an info authorization request form, and how and when they gave their response. Optionally, capture additional information about the user response, including the user’s email address, IP address, or geographic location at the time of consent, for verification and audit purposes.

On an Info Authorization Request detail page, click the Related
tab.
