What do you want to be able to do?
Make it more explicit for users to opt in for communications about the Innovation Gateway but that: news; notifications when new datasets have been onboarded; notifications of when new functionality has been released; and other proactive comms.
Why is this important?
Current consent message on the user profile implies any consent is just in relation to a user’s individual account and any content they have posted themselves.
“I want to receive email notifications about activity relating to my account or content”
There’s a question therefore whether this provides us with the authority to use it for broader comms to help drive usage etc.
Any suggestions for how we could solve this?
Two suggestions:
- Broaden the existing consent box to make it more explicit that is also covers proactive comms
- Add another check box enabling people to opt in/out
