Document background
A Client Consent Letter is a critical document used in Irish business operations where explicit client authorization is required for specific activities or data processing. This document type has become increasingly important since the implementation of GDPR and the Irish Data Protection Act 2018, as organizations must demonstrate they have obtained valid, informed consent from clients. The letter typically includes detailed information about the purpose of consent, specific activities or data processing covered, the client's rights (including the right to withdraw consent), and clear opt-in mechanisms. It's particularly crucial for sectors handling sensitive personal data or providing regulated services. The Client Consent Letter must be drafted in clear, plain language to ensure transparency and understanding, while meeting all legal requirements under Irish and EU law.
