Definitions (2)

Consent that is informed and voluntary, meaning the data subject has a reasonable understanding of the purpose and consequences of processing (including algorithmic processing) and is not subject to coercion or imbalance of power; implied or coerced consent is insufficient in contexts like employment or essential services.

It ensures autonomous decision-making based on complete and accurate disclosure.
