To help you stay aligned with GDPR best practices, we’ve introduced a new setting in your Legal & GDPR setup area. This update gives you greater control over how you collect marketing consent from your attendees, offering a more transparent and compliant experience.

What’s New

• New toggle in Legal & GDPR settings: You’ll now see an option labeled ‘Show GDPR Marketing ‘Soft Opt-In’ Checkbox?’

• Clearer marketing consent: When enabled, attendees will see a checkbox during registration, allowing them to actively opt out of marketing emails.

• Automatic opt-in (with opt-out option): If the box is shown and not unchecked by the attendee, they will be considered opted in to your marketing communications. This is what’s know as a ‘soft opt-in’.

• Default behavior if disabled: If the setting is left off, marketing consent is still considered granted as part of your event terms, though less explicitly.

• Recommended for compliance: For greater transparency and to align with GDPR guidance, we recommend enabling this checkbox.

This update gives you a straightforward way to offer clear, user-friendly consent while supporting your ongoing compliance efforts.
