# Data Sharing Consent

The Data Sharing Consent module shows the user one or more preconfigured [consents](https://developer.incode.com/docs/configuration-consents-tab) to review and accept, then records their agreement. Consents obtain the user's permission to collect and process their data. Most jurisdictions require this at the start of an identity verification journey. Incode includes default consent language that covers common regulatory requirements. You can use only the default consent, create your own to match your requirements, or use a combination of both.

## How It Works

This module asks permission from the user to collect the information and photos required for verification. The module adapts to your organization's needs. You can:

- Localize the consent screen into any language your users speak
- Write custom titles, descriptions, and terms using markdown for rich formatting
- Mark each checkbox as mandatory or optional

<Accordion title="View an example consent">
  This example consent displays to the user:

- A clear title.
- Detailed consent information.
- Mandatory and optional consent checkboxes.
- A "Continue" button that is enabled only after all mandatory consents are checked.

</Accordion>

​You [create and manage consents](https://developer.incode.com/docs/configuration-consents-tab) in Dashboard. You can view Data Sharing Consent module results on the [Other tab in single Session view](https://developer.incode.com/docs/single-session-view#other).
