1. Introduction

At Northern Pulse Media, we respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about how we collect, use, and share your personal information. This Consent Policy explains how we obtain and manage your consent for data collection and processing activities.

This Consent Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides detailed information about our data practices.

2. What Is Consent?

• Freely given: You have a genuine choice and control over whether to give your consent.
• Specific: We clearly explain what you're consenting to.
• Informed: We provide you with all the information you need to make a decision.
• Unambiguous: We use clear and plain language, and the action you take to provide consent is deliberate.
• Revocable: You can withdraw your consent at any time.
