Tiivistelmä
In today’s world majority of communication processes are held through digital space where users without realizing are sharing their personal data which might be used by unworthy services for their own benefits. To impose restrictions on data collection the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) stands, which demands user consent requests and informs the user of the collection of personal data. The research goal is to identify how to design and develop a General Consent Management System considering GDPR.
Within the scope of work with the thesis, an analysis of academic literature and proposed systems was conducted. As this research is held as a solution-based approach Design Thinking methodology was chosen. During the research process, consent management was identified in connection with GDPR. The use of blockchain technology allows tracking of the activity of user consent. This thesis proves the consent of a general consent management system with the use of blockchain technology and provides a prototype of the working system.
