Fill in the form, read the draft as it writes itself, copy it. No account, no e-mail address, nothing stored on our side.
This draft is a text file. The paid platform makes it a live document: hosted at a stable URL you can link from your footer, versioned every time it changes, published in English, German, French and Italian at once, with a cookie list that updates itself from a real scan of your site, a consent banner in front of it and an audit trail behind it.

This page provides Your company with ready-to-use consent wording for newsletter sign-ups and contact forms on example.com. Each section explains when the text is needed and contains the wording to copy into the relevant form, e-mail or footer. Replace any placeholders in square brackets before use.
Sending a newsletter to a subscriber requires the subscriber's consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and, for electronic direct marketing, the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC) and its national implementations. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous, and the subscriber must be able to withdraw it at any time as easily as it was given (Article 7(3) GDPR). Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before it. The double opt-in procedure below serves to document that consent was actually given by the holder of the e-mail address.
Data submitted through a contact form is processed to answer the enquiry. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where the enquiry relates to a contract or pre-contractual steps, and otherwise our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Where Swiss law applies, the processing is also carried out in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP). In addition, Article 3(1)(o) of the Swiss Federal Act against Unfair Competition (UWG) prohibits sending mass advertising by e-mail without the prior consent of the recipient, without correct sender information, or without an easy and free way to refuse further messages. The texts below are designed to satisfy these requirements.
Place this text next to an unticked checkbox in your sign-up form. The checkbox must not be pre-selected, and subscribing must not be a condition for using another service.
Yes, I would like to receive the Your company newsletter by e-mail with news about products, services and offers. I can withdraw my consent at any time free of charge via the unsubscribe link in every newsletter. Details on how my data is processed can be found in the privacy policy.
Send this e-mail immediately after sign-up. Only add the address to your mailing list after the confirmation link has been clicked. Keep a record of the time of sign-up, the time of confirmation and the IP address used, as evidence of consent.

Display this notice directly below the submit button of your contact form. No checkbox is required for the notice itself, because answering an enquiry does not rely on consent.
The data you enter in this form is processed by Your company solely to handle your enquiry and any follow-up questions. It will not be passed on to third parties without your consent and will be deleted once your enquiry has been dealt with, unless statutory retention periods apply. You can find further information, including your rights, in our privacy policy.
Include this line, together with a working one-click unsubscribe link, at the end of every newsletter. The sender's name and postal address must also be visible.
You are receiving this e-mail because you subscribed to the Your company newsletter. If you no longer wish to receive it, you can unsubscribe here at any time: [unsubscribe link]. Your company
