# Consent Management for Education Cloud

Honor your constituents’ wishes when they request only specific forms of contact from your institution or opt-out of certain types of data-sharing.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: <strong>Performance</strong>, <strong>Enterprise</strong>, <strong>Unlimited Editions</strong>, and <strong>Developer</strong></td></tr></tbody></table>

Many data protection and privacy regulations require you and your institution to honor people’s requests about how you use their data. We’ve listed a few of the regulations that are important to many institutions collecting and processing their constituents’ data.

- General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), European Union
- Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), United States
- California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), United States
- Canada’s Anti-Spam Law (CASL)

If you have constituents or users who request specific methods of contact from your institution, review these common requests and the procedures related to them.
