# Consent Approvals

### What is **Consent Approval?** 

**Consent Approval** manages and monitors the process of **obtaining permission from individuals to use their images and personal data** in digital assets. It ensures compliance with the **specific purposes, scope, and expiration dates defined in the Terms & Conditions.**

<details>

<summary>👉 Benefits of Consent Approval</summary>

* **Legal Compliance:** *Stores evidence of consent to prevent potential disputes regarding privacy rights or image copyright.*
* **Risk Management:** *Prevents the unauthorized use of assets for which consent has been revoked by the subject or has expired.*
* **Process Transparency:** *Enables marketing and legal teams to identify exactly which assets are "cleared" and safe for use.*

</details>

### How to Manage Consent Approvals?

👉 To manage consent approval requests, **navigate to Approvals > Consent Approvals tab.**

#### **🔹 Step 1: Search and Filter**&#x20;

* Use the date filters (From/To)
* Search by individual name (Face) and can filter one or more people at the same time.
* Or filter by Status to narrow down the list of requests to process.

#### **🔹 Step 2: Review Details**&#x20;

Check the key information columns:

* **Last Modified:** The timestamp and the user who most recently updated the status.
* **Expiry:** The expiration date of the usage rights (a "No expiration" entry indicates the consent is valid indefinitely).
* **Requested:** The timestamp and the user who initiated the request.

#### **🔹 Step 3: Take Action** &#x20;

In the final column, you can perform the following operations:

* **See Consent's Asset**: View the specific digital asset associated with the consent.
* **Download Consent Form as PDF:** Save the legal documentation to your local device. *Note: This action is disabled for consents in Revoked, Expired, or Pending status.*
* **Re-Send Consent Request**: Send requests to relevant stakeholders. *Note: This action is only enabled when the status is Pending.*
* **Revoke Consent**: Change the status to Revoked. Once a consent has been revoked, only the "See Consent's Asset" action remains enabled.
