Which of the following is NOT a definition of Consent under GDPR's Article 4?

Clear and affirmative indication.
Informed and unambiguous agreement.
In an interoperable format.
Specific and informed indication of wishes.

The correct answer is: In an interoperable format.

The correct answer is that "in an interoperable format" is not a definition of Consent under GDPR's Article 4. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) explicitly outlines that consent must be given in a clear manner, marked by proper indications that are affirmative, informed, specific, and unambiguous. Each of the other options aligns closely with the GDPR's stipulations on consent. Clear and affirmative indication requires that consent is provided through a positive action rather than silence or inactivity. Informed and unambiguous agreement emphasizes the necessity for the individual to understand what they are consenting to, including the purpose of data processing. The requirement for a specific and informed indication of wishes further reinforces that consent must be detailed, covering the extent and conditions under which one's personal data may be processed. "Interoperable format," on the other hand, pertains to technical aspects of data handling and sharing rather than the principles of consent itself as defined by GDPR. This term relates more to data accessibility and compatibility across different platforms or systems, which is outside the scope of the consent definitions laid out in Article 4 of the GDPR.
