Concept
Consent Manager
A person registered with the Board who gives individuals a single point of contact to give, manage, review and withdraw their consent through an accessible, transparent and interoperable platform. Registration rests on section 6(9) of the Act and Rule 4, which applies the conditions and obligations in the First Schedule. Both commence on 13 November 2026, a date computed from the notifications, so treat it as interpretation until officially confirmed. The duty under section 6(8) to act on the individual's behalf follows on a computed 13 May 2027, on the same basis.
