Consent Policy

1. Introduction

This Consent Policy explains how AuditPlus Consulting ("we," "our," or "us") obtains, records, and manages consent from our website visitors and clients. This policy outlines our approach to ensuring that all data processing activities are conducted with proper consent in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

2. What is Consent?

Consent means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of a data subject's wishes by which they, through a statement or clear affirmative action, signify agreement to the processing of their personal data.

For consent to be valid, it must be:

• Freely given: Individuals must have a genuine choice and control over how their data is used.
• Specific: Consent must be specific to particular types of processing.
• Informed: Individuals must receive clear information about what they are consenting to.
• Unambiguous: Consent must be given through a clear affirmative action.

3. How We Obtain Consent

We obtain your consent through various methods, including:

• Checkboxes on forms (for example, when you complete our contact form)
• Cookie consent banner
• Written agreements
• Verbal confirmation (recorded as appropriate)

We ensure that our consent mechanisms are clear, granular, and require a positive opt-in. We do not use pre-ticked boxes or any other method of default consent.

6. Managing and Withdrawing Consent
