Message sentiment for opt in privacy choices
The IAB has defined Processing of Sensitive Personal Information (which contains 12 distinct and selectable categories of sensitive data) as an opt in privacy choice. An end-user will have to explicitly opt into the privacy choice.
| Message Sentiment | Default Toggle State | Toggle State OFF | Toggle State ON |
| Affirmative | OFF | Opted Out | Opted In |
| Negative | ON | Opted In | Opted Out |
See the tabs below for more details on how the message sentiment impacts the behavior of the toggle:
When the message sentiment for an opt in privacy choice is set to Affirmative, the text accompanying the privacy choice directs the end-user to enable the toggle in order to allow the processing of sensitive personal information
Example: Opt into the processing of my sensitive personal information
The toggle for the privacy choice will be OFF by default. While in the default state for the privacy choice (OFF), the SensitiveDataProcessing field of the relevant section in the MSPS will return 1 (Opted out) for all configured sensitive data processing categories.
If the end-user opts into the privacy choice (ON), the SensitiveDataProcessing field of the relevant section in the MSPS will return 2 (Opted In) for all configured sensitive data processing categories.
When the message sentiment for an opt in privacy choice is set to Negative, the text accompanying the privacy choice directs the end-user to deactivate the toggle in order to allow the processing of sensitive personal information.
Example: Limit the use of my sensitive personal information.
The toggle for the privacy choice will be ON by default. While in the default state for the privacy choice (ON), the SensitiveDataProcessing field of the relevant section in the MSPS will return 1 (Opted Out) for all configured sensitive data processing categories.
If the end-user opts into the privacy choice (OFF), the SensitiveDataProcessing field of the relevant section in the MSPS will return 2 (Opted In) for all configured sensitive data processing categories.
Message sentiment for opt out privacy choices
The IAB has defined Sharing of Personal Information / Targeted Advertising and Sale of Personal Information as opt out privacy choices (which can be listed separately or combined into a single privacy choice). An end-user will have to explicitly opt out of the privacy choice.
| Message Sentiment | Default Toggle State | Toggle State OFF | Toggle State ON |
| Negative | OFF | Opted In/Did Not Opt out | Opted Out |
| Affirmative | ON | Opted Out | Opted In/Did Not Opt Out |
See the tabs below below for more details on how the message sentiment impacts the behavior of the toggle:
When the message sentiment for an opt out privacy choice is set to Negative, the text accompanying the privacy choice directs the end-user to enable the toggle in order to indicate they do not want their personal information information to be sold or shared.
Example: Do not sell or share my personal information / opt out of targeted advertising (If you select On you are asking us not to sell or share your personal information and opting out of targeted advertising)
The toggle for the privacy choice will be OFF by default. While in the default state for the privacy choice (OFF), the SaleOptOut and SharingOptOut field of the relevant section in the MSPS will return 2 (Did Not Opt Out).
If the end-user opts out of the privacy choice by enabling the toggle (ON), the SaleOptOut and SharingOptOut field of the relevant section in the MSPS will return 1 (Opted Out).
When the message sentiment for an opt out privacy choice is set to Affirmative, the text accompanying the privacy choice indicates to the the end-user that their personal information can be sold or shared.
Example: Sell or share my personal information / opt into targeted advertising
The toggle for the privacy choice will be ON by default. While in the default state for the privacy choice (ON), the SaleOptOut and SharingOptOut field of the relevant section in the MSPS will return 2 (Did Not Opt Out).
If the end-user opts out of the privacy choice by deactivating the toggle (OFF), the SaleOptOut and SharingOptOut field of the relevant section in the MSPS will return 1 (Opted Out).
