Granular Privacy Controls(GPC)
Fine-grained permission management enabling users to control specific data types, processing purposes, sharing contexts, and retention periods with contextual consent mechanisms and easy revocation controls.
In 30 seconds
- What
- Lets users grant or deny permission for specific data types, purposes, and sharing contexts separately, with chosen retention periods.
- When to use
- Systems collecting multiple data types where users need different rules for each, or where regulatory compliance requires documented consent tied to specific uses.
- Watch out
- Users often grant broad permissions without reading details, then revoke them reactively after privacy incidents rather than setting them thoughtfully upfront.
