GDPR and recipient permissions

Ask a recipient for tracking permission

The quick answer

Use a clear, appropriate consent channel and record the resulting evidence reference. An open or click on a normal email must not be treated as explicit consent; no new tracker is allowed by Strict consent without active permission.

Manage a recipient's permission

  1. Find the exact recipient

    Check the contact and recipient permission register. Confirm which account/team is responsible for the message.

  2. Record a supported basis

    Use the appropriate basis, permission status, and evidence reference in Compliance controls. Do not infer consent from an email open.

  3. Honor withdrawal

    Record withdrawn/objected permission and use unsubscribe or suppression controls so new work respects the preference.

  4. Review queued outreach

    Check pending campaigns, follow-ups, and integrations. Re-subscribe only after a valid new permission event and an accurate record.
