Consequences Explained Before Agreement
Group: policy-and-protection • Guideline: risk
Summary in Plain English
Where entering an agreement is required, the legal, financial, privacy and security consequences are given before it is finalised.
Why It Matters
Consequences disclosed after the fact are not a choice. Presenting them beforehand is what makes consent meaningful for people who need time to process them.
Legal, financial, privacy, and security consequences are provided before finalizing an agreement.
