Why build a data consent tracker instead of buying one?
Why build a data consent tracker instead of buying one?
Many organizations want to build a custom data consent tracker instead of using an off-the-shelf product because it allows them:
To customize it to their workflows and internal processes instead of trying to adapt requirements to fit a pre-built solution.
To integrate it with other datasources they use to store customer data, any CRMs, or marketing automation tools, etc.
Full control over their data and security and they don’t have to worry about a vendor’s protocols.
More control over how data is stored and accessed as they can implement their own security measures to protect sensitive information and data never has to leave their own systems.
