CIPT Exam - Question 15


What is the main reason a company relies on implied consent instead of explicit consent from a user to process her data?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AB

Companies often rely on implied consent rather than explicit consent to avoid significant disruption to a user's browsing experience. Explicit consent typically requires users to actively opt-in or out through prompts or checkboxes, which can interrupt their interactions and reduce engagement with the website or application.

B. Disruption: Explicit consent typically requires users to actively opt-in or out through prompts or checkboxes, which can interrupt their browsing experience and reduce engagement. Implied consent allows for smoother user flow on websites and applications.

The answer is B The main reason a company relies on implied consent instead of explicit consent from a user to process their data is typically due to the concern that securing explicit consent might significantly disrupt the user’s website browsing experience. Implied consent assumes that users agree to certain data processing practices by continuing to use a website or service, without requiring them to actively provide explicit consent for each specific action. While explicit consent provides more transparency and control to users, it can indeed be more cumbersome to implement and may lead to interruptions in the user experience. However, companies must strike a balance between user privacy and operational efficiency while adhering to relevant regulations. 🛡️

Explicit consent typically involves more active steps, such as clicking checkboxes or providing specific permissions, which can interrupt the user experience.
