When must we have consent? You are likely to need to consider consent when no other lawful basis obviously applies. For example, this may be the case if you want to use or share someone's data in a particularly unexpected or potentially intrusive way, or in a way that is incompatible with your original purpose.

What are the rules for valid consent?
Answer
- it must be freely given;
- it must be informed;
- it must be given for a specific purpose;
- all the reasons for the processing must be clearly stated;
- it is explicit and given via a positive act (for example an electronic tick-box that the individual has to explicitly check online or a signature on a form);
