Which Article of the GDPR addresses conditions for consent?

Article 5
Article 7
Article 9
Article 13

The correct answer is: Article 7

Article 7 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) specifically addresses the conditions for consent. This article outlines the requirements that must be met for consent to be considered valid, ensuring that individuals have a clear understanding of what they are consenting to and that their consent is given freely, informed, specific, and unambiguous. It emphasizes the necessity for data controllers to demonstrate that consent was obtained, outlining the importance of easily retracting consent as well. Such provisions align with the broader principles of transparency and fairness that underpin the GDPR, aiming to protect individuals’ rights regarding their personal data. The other articles mentioned relate to different aspects of data protection: Article 5 outlines the principles relating to the processing of personal data, Article 9 deals with the specific categories of personal data that require special protection, and Article 13 focuses on the information that must be provided to individuals when their data is collected. Each of these articles has distinct purposes, but it is Article 7 that specifically delineates the framework for obtaining valid consent from individuals.
