ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

Implied consent via continued use is insufficient under GDPR for processing activities requiring explicit consent under Article 6 or 9; any material change to processing purposes requires fresh consent or a new legitimate interests assessment. CCPA also requires notice of material changes to privacy practices.
