Hi There,
Just curious to know the difference between Legal basis for processing contact’s data(HubSpot Default Property) and GDPR options. Seems like both are the same.
Can anyone help me?

HubSpot Default Property:

GDPR options:

Hi @sjay,

Thanks for reaching out!

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), companies need a lawful reason to use and process contact data and must keep records of consent and evidence of other lawful purposes of processing. The Legal Basis for Processing Contact’s Data (KB article here) property helps you collect, track and store lawful basis of processing.

GDPR Options are a form feature. This feature allows you to add consent checkboxes and text to your form to follow privacy laws and regulations. GDPR options help the person who is filling out your form understand that they are giving consent. I wanted to share this help article that goes into further detail on how to use this feature in your forms.

I hope this helps!

Best,

Kristen
