Using the Consent Request User Interface Prototype

Data privacy laws and guidelines vary significantly with each jurisdiction around the globe and even within economic sectors. Also, the ability for users of a software application to understand what they are consenting to depends on how well the relevant data privacy options are communicated to the user via that application’s user interface. The resulting lack of consistency created by these two realities causes confusion for everyone concerned. This research paper proposes a prototype solution to this problem; a Consent Request User Interface (CURE) that enables a user to confidently determine how to select privacy settings that he or she needs.
