What is the Consent Center?
Consent management is essential to data protection and the trust of your supporters.
It helps you manage how consent is collected, stored, and managed across your organization.
You can choose between two modes, each designed for different regulatory environments and organizational needs:
Essential Compliance
Advanced Compliance
The configuration you choose determines how consent is collected across forms, petitions, events, and the mobile application, and how it is managed in contact profiles.
If you operate in the EU, UK, or a similar legal framework, we strongly recommend using Advanced Compliance mode.
Essential vs Advanced Compliance
Essential Compliance
A simplified setup using one global communication consent.
Best suited for:
CCPA/CPRA
PIPEDA
10DLC
Organizations that do not require purpose-specific consent
Supporters consent by communication channel:
Email, SMS, Phone
Postal mail
Etc.
Advanced Compliance
A granular setup allowing consent to be managed:
By purpose (newsletter, events, campaigns, fundraising, etc.)
By channel (SMS, Email, etc.)
Best suited for:
GDPR environments (GDPR 2024/900) and stricter regulatory environments
Organizations requiring detailed consent tracking
Access your consent settings
To access your compliance center: Settings → General → Privacy & Security
From this page, you can:
Choose your compliance mode
Configure channels and purposes
Add your privacy policy
Enable transparency notices
Enforce 2FA
Configure Privacy & Transparency settings
Regardless of the compliance mode you choose, you can configure the following from the compliance center:
Privacy policy: Add the link to your privacy policy page (hosted on your website or as an online document). This will be applied by default across all your public pages. A privacy policy is required as you collect personal data with Qomon
Displayed notice: A short message shown at the moment data is collected to give contextual information to your supporters. This notice appears on all forms and petitions you create.
Transparency disclaimer (if applicable): An upfront statement disclosing who is behind a communication and why it is being shown. It is specifically designed for political advertising and influence campaigns. You have dedicated templates to help you, depending on the regulatory environment you operate in.
🇺🇸 For US organizations: A transparency disclaimer must be enabled when using Qomon to run targeted political ads or ads based on personal data, in compliance with FEC regulations. A template is provided directly on the platform.
🇪🇺 For EU organizations: The transparency notice is one of the requirements under the TTPA (Transparency of Targeted Political Advertising). It informs supporters about how their data is processed, who has access to it, and for what purpose. Once enabled, it automatically appears on all your public pages.
Configure consent channels (Essential Compliance)
In Essential Compliance, consent is managed through a single “General Communication” purpose.
For each channel, you can:
Enable or disable it
Make it mandatory or optional
Customize the displayed wording
Available channels include:
Email, SMS, Phone
Postal
Custom channel
💡 Reminder: If you choose to have consent checkboxes as "Optional", a contact submitted that did not check the box will have its consent marked as "refused" in your database.
Configure consent purposes (Advanced Compliance)
In Advanced Compliance, you have full control over both purposes and channels. This is where you define what you're collecting consent for and how you'll be reaching out.
A default "General Communication" purpose is already provided and activated.
To create a new purpose:
Click "+ New purpose"
Choose a template or create a custom purpose
Configure channels and settings
For each purpose, you can define:
Name
Description
Authorized channels
Consent expiration (how long consent remains valid)
Default pre-selection on forms (petitions, events, online forms)
Access restrictions
💡 Reminder: Switching from Advanced to Essential mode will deactivate all existing purposes and automatically create a single default "General Communication" purpose to manage all contact consents.
Download your Consent Registry (Advanced Compliance only)
You can export a complete record of all consents collected (who gave consent, when, how, and for what purposes and channels) by clicking the "Export register" button in the Consent Management section (Advanced compliance only).
This registry is your audit trail. It gives you everything you need to demonstrate compliance to a regulator or respond to a data subject access request.
Manage existing consents
Your existing consents are fully preserved when you set up or change your compliance configuration.
When migrating configurations:
Existing consents are automatically grouped under a generic consent purpose
No data is lost
You can then progressively refine your consent structure over time.
You can also accelerate the transition and run a re-consent campaign to get purpose-specific consent.
Import existing consent data
You can import existing consent records into Qomon to preserve historical consent data.
To learn how to import consents, read our dedicated article on consent imports.
