Can you rely on third-party data providers for consent proof?

Risky. Third party data providers may claim consent but proving it is your responsibility. GDPR requires you to verify data processing legitimacy, not just trust supplier claims.

If challenged, you must demonstrate valid consent. Third party assertions may not hold up. Data sourced without verifiable consent creates compliance risk.

Due diligence on data sources is essential. Request consent documentation. Verify claims where possible. Consider whether third party data meets your compliance standards.
