OutcomeContacts whose consent has a defined expiry date get a re-permission request campaign ahead of that date, so consent lapses through an intentional yes-or-no answer, not silently through inaction that leaves the legal basis unclear.

When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use in jurisdictions or internal policies where consent is treated as time-bound, a common practice even where not strictly mandated, often 12 or 24 months, and needs active renewal rather than assumed indefinite validity.
  • Use alongside marketing-ops-020's legitimate interest annual review, for portals tracking multiple legal bases.

Skip it

  • Do not use if the legal basis for the relevant contacts is not consent-based, for example legitimate interest or contract. Renewal campaigns are a consent-specific concept, not universal across legal bases.
