Fast path
- Design consent UI: clear disclosure of AI processing, opt-in checkbox, opt-out toggle.
- Implement transparency: explain what AI does with user data, storage duration, sharing.
- Build opt-out workflow: disable AI features, delete prompts/outputs, fallback to non-AI.

Frequently Asked Questions
What consent is required for AI features?
AI consent requirements: clear disclosure that AI is processing data, explanation of what AI does with inputs, opt-in before AI processing begins, opt-out mechanism to disable AI, and data deletion request handling. GDPR and CCPA require explicit consent for automated processing.
How to implement AI opt-out?
AI opt-out implementation: add user setting to disable AI features, stop sending user prompts to AI APIs, delete stored prompts/outputs for that user, provide non-AI alternative functionality, and audit opt-out compliance in logs.
