Simplify your workflow with Folktale's streamlined consent management

Discover how effective it is to manage consent in Folktale, from fostering trust with contributors to obtaining their consent.

Overview


 

Folktale simplifies collecting stories and data, while also letting you manage workflows and internal processes from start to finish. This includes powerful tools for enabling and managing consent efficiently at different levels.

The process of consent management begins when creating an invitation for contributors to share their stories. Our tools help you explain complex information on your objectives and data usage in a simple and structured way, fostering trust and participation.

Contributors can give their consent at two stages: when accepting your invitation and when submitting their stories. If they change their minds, they can easily withdraw their consent at any stage, ensuring their comfort and control throughout the process.
