Updates - May 2025: Consent Management Just Got Clearer
At Mafelo, your convenience and efficient workflow are our top priorities. We know that managing photo publication consents is a vital part of your business, so we're constantly working to make it simple and intuitive. Thanks to your feedback ♥️, we identified an area of uncertainty: when a client returned a consent form without selecting any options. Should you, as a photographer, interpret this as an oversight or a conscious decision not to grant consent? We have great news: we’ve introduced an update that clears up this confusion once and for all!
Imagine this: you send a consent form to your client. They return it, but without ticking the boxes for permission to publish photos in your portfolio or on social media. Until now, this might have left you wondering if everything was in order or if you needed to follow up. We understand this dilemma!
Mafelo now automatically and clearly informs you of the client's decision. If a client sends back the consent form without selecting any publication consents, a straightforward message will appear directly in the gallery: "Consent not given":
Simple and effective, right? This message tells you the client has reviewed the form and consciously decided not to grant publication consents. You get full clarity without any extra steps.
As usual, you send the client a consent form from Mafelo.
The client opens the email, reviews the content, but decides not to select any publication consents and sends the form back to you.
