If you're collecting demographic data using consent-requiring attributes, the survey displays a consent message that employees need to agree to before proceeding to the regular survey questions. See Concept: Consent Notice for Sensitive Attribute Data Collection for more information.
You can use the standard consent message that automatically comes with translations in all survey languages. It displays in the survey preview, after enabling consent-requiring attributes in the
Attributes
 tab of your survey schedule.
It's also possible to set your own consent message, with an external URL, and localizations. This enables your custom message to reflect your organization’s workplace culture, while also helping you meet your compliance, General Data Protection Regulation, and local legislative goals.
The consent message is at company level, so all schedules that collect data on consent-requiring attributes will use your custom consent message.
