OpenConsent Framework
Designing digital consent is hard. Product Designers need to balance legal requirements, user needs, and business pressures, meanwhile existing resources don't give much guidance for this specific challenge.
The OpenConsent Framework offers 10 research-backed principles to help designers navigate these tensions confidently. Each principle is grounded in empirical research and is optimized for improving user comprehension and trust.
How to Apply This Framework
Start by identifying your primary challenge. Not every principle applies to every project so choose based on what your users are struggling with.
Remember: These principles work together. You might need to combine approaches from multiple challenges. Test with real users and measure both comprehension and trust as they don't always move together.
