Description: Lack of consent refers to the absence of the required permission for the processing of personal data. In the context of privacy and data protection, this concept is fundamental, as it implies that any use of personal information must be explicitly authorized by the individual to whom that data belongs. Lack of consent can lead to privacy violations, as data may be collected, stored, or used without the knowledge or approval of the owner. This principle is essential in legislations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union, which establishes that consent must be informed, specific, and revocable. Lack of consent not only affects user trust in organizations that handle their data but can also have significant legal repercussions for these entities. In an increasingly digitized world, where personal information becomes a valuable asset, lack of consent has become a critical issue that demands attention and appropriate regulation to protect individuals’ rights.
