    Hi,

    a service I’m using to generate privacy statements is confusing me. It recently added a checkbox to indicate the use of Complianz as Cookie Consent solution. However, in the generated text it says that a connection to Complianz-Servers is opened when a page is loaded in order to download consent data from Complianz?

    In my understanding Consent Data is stored in a cookie on the user’s system. When the cookie is deleted, the consent is removed, there is no additional record of that consent data stored with Complianz. Is that correct?

    May the legal text refer to “records” of consent as opposed to proof of consent, and can you confirm that, at least in the case of proof of consent, there is no user data sent to and/or processed by Complianz?

    Thanks!

    Hi @tschwarz-1,

    Because Complianz is a WordPress plugin, all data is stored and processed on your website. We don’t have any access to your website, nor do we collect usage information or anything similar. As a result, a Processing Agreement with Complianz is not necessary.

    There is no additional record of the consent data in Complianz with Proof of Consent enabled. Proof of Consent in Complianz adheres to the Data minimization principle (GDPR) and does not store actual records of consent in your database.

    Please note the difference with Records of Consent, which voids the data minimization principle as it writes (anonymized) records to the database.

    Hope this answers your questions.
    Kind regards,
    Jarno
