# Consent Management for Service Cloud

Respect your customers’ requests to limit types and hours of contact. And honor customer wishes when they opt-out of certain types of data-sharing. We provide details to help you determine the best way to comply with the data protection and privacy regulations that apply to your company.

### 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: All Editions</td></tr></tbody></table>

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

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

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