Feature Snapshot

Summary:
Consent Language Detected is the portion of a TrustedForm Certificate that displays the text shown on a lead generation form to obtain consumer consent during the recorded lead event.

Key Benefits:

  • Easy access to consent languages shown to the consumer.
  • Save time and effort spent watching the entire session replay.

Typical Use Cases:

  • Auditing lead forms to ensure they display compliant consent disclosures.
  • Copying consent languages use to compare then against what was expected.

How the Consent Language Detected works

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  1. Implement TrustedForm Certify:
    Add the TrustedForm Certify JavaScript snippet to your lead generation page to start capturing consumer interactions and certificate data.

  2. Display Clear Consent Disclosure:
    Ensure that your lead form includes unambiguous consent language or explicit TrustedForm consent tags that indicate the terms consumers are agreeing to when they submit their information.

  3. Capture and Analyze Page Content:
    When a consumer submits their lead information, TrustedForm Certify scans the page for consent text. It first checks for explicit consent tags; if none are detected, it uses a machine learning model to identify the text that qualifies as consent language.

  4. Generate the Certificate Section:
    TrustedForm then creates a certificate that includes a dedicated scrollable section titled “Consent Language Detected,” which displays the exact text found on the page during the user’s interaction.

Expected Result:
You will see a TrustedForm Certificate featuring a clearly labeled “Consent Language Detected” section that contains the precise disclosure text (e.g., “I agree to receive marketing messages”) as displayed on your form.


Validation & Monitoring (optional)

  • Test the Setup:
    Submit a test lead through your form and review the generated certificate to ensure the “Consent Language Detected” section accurately reflects the consent text.

Best Practices

  • Use Explicit Consent Tags:
    Integrate TrustedForm consent tags in your form elements to precisely indicate the consent disclosure, reducing ambiguity for the detection model.

  • Ensure Clear and Conspicuous Language:
    Write your consent disclosure in plain, easily understandable language that satisfies TCPA and other regulatory requirements.

  • Test Across Devices and Browsers:
    Regularly verify that consent language is captured consistently regardless of the device or browser used by consumers.


Troubleshooting

Symptom / Error Likely Cause Resolution
“Consent Language Detected” section is missing from the certificate. No consent text was recognized; consent tags may be missing or the ML fallback did not correctly identify the text. Confirm that your form displays clear consent language and implement explicit TrustedForm consent tags. Contact support if issue persists.
Incorrect or ambiguous text appears in the Consent Language Detected Multiple text blocks on the page may have confused the detection algorithm. Use explicit consent tags to designate the intended consent disclosure and review your page layout to minimize extraneous content.
API response error “Consent language not detected in the certificate.” The certificate did not capture any text that qualifies as consent language, possibly due to hidden or poorly formatted disclosures. Ensure that the consent disclosure is visible on the form at the time of submission and is not obscured by design elements. Retest after adjustments.
