GDPR fields are a way of allowing you to collect, store and track consent from your contacts while recording the name of the field and consent text. Using these fields on your forms will help to make your organisation compliant in relation to the General Data Protection Regulation legislation.

GDPR fields can be included as check boxes on forms that your contacts use to opt-in to your marketing. You can designate what your contact can see on the forms and what is only visible to you. For instance, the name of the GDPR field may only be visible to you, allowing you to identify your GDPR fields simply upon review.

What is a Consent Text Field?

The consent text field is visible to everyone that visits your form. You can use up to 2,000 words in the consent text field to outline how and why you collect and use your contacts’ personal data and also ask for their consent.

You may also use mailto HTML links to include links to your Privacy Policy or and other information for your contacts to review on the form. However, it is important to remember that the HTML code counts toward the 2,000 character limit.

Do GDPR Fields make you GDPR Compliant?

The short answer is no as it depends on how you use them. You need to be GDPR compliant across all of your business in order to use GDPR fields properly.

As with all tools, guidelines and procedures on GDPR simply using them does not make you GDPR compliant. You must ensure that you, or anyone else in your organisation, using the GDPR Forms are doing so in line with GDPR requirements.
