Checkbox vs Smart Consent

A checkbox records a click. Smart Consent provides proof of consent.

If a customer disputes a policy years later or a regulator asks whether the customer truly understood the terms, a simple database record may not be enough. A recorded video with identity verification, OTP confirmation, and a timestamped transcript provides strong and verifiable evidence.

VS
The old way

Checkbox consent

Only records that the customer clicked "Agree"

  • Does not verify who clicked the box
  • No proof that the terms were reviewed or understood
  • Customers can later dispute the consent
  • Limited evidence for high-risk or regulated transactions
  • Difficult to use as strong proof during audits or legal reviews

How Smart Consent works

A 2-minute video consent capture, step by step.

A simple five-step process takes customers from verification to consent recording with complete audit records.

01 0:00
CUSTOMER

Customer opens the consent link.

SMS, WhatsApp, email, or in-app. No download. Camera and mic permissions are requested, geo-tag is captured, and the recording starts. The customer sees their own video on screen along with a clear "this session is being recorded for consent" notice.

02 0:15
PLATFORM

Identity verified against the customer record.

Face match against the customer's identity documents. Liveness check confirms the person is real and present. If this Smart Consent is chained with a Video KYC Solution, identity is already verified in real time.

03 0:30 – 1:30
CONSENT · LIVE

The customer reads the key terms aloud and completes OTP verification on camera.

Your compliance team configures the terms that need to be acknowledged. The customer reads the terms aloud or confirms them verbally. A one-time code is shown on screen, and the customer provides it on camera. The session is automatically transcribed and recorded for future reference.

04 1:45
CUSTOMER

Clear summary. Simple confirmation.

The customer sees a simple summary of what they are agreeing to and provides a final confirmation through a spoken response or a tap. The terms are presented in clear, easy-to-understand language to support informed consent and regulatory requirements.

SYSTEM

Complete records. Ready when needed.

The platform creates a complete evidence package containing the video recording, transcript, OTP verification, geo-location, IP address, device details, and timestamps. All records are securely stored and can be automatically sent to your loan management, policy administration, or other internal systems through webhooks. The evidence can be easily retrieved whenever required for audits, reviews, or dispute resolution.

Evidence package

Evidence package What you get back — sealed, hashed, ready for a tribunal.

Every Smart Consent session produces a structured evidence package. Video, transcript, OTP, location, device, and timestamps. Each item independently verifiable. Each item hashed so any tampering is immediately detectable. This is what a defensible consent record looks like.

Who should use Smart Consent

The DPDP Act makes it mandatory to get the explicit consent of customers

Built for the moments where a checkbox is not enough, such as insurance policy issuance, loan agreements, sensitive-data sharing under DPDP 2023, premium re-pricing, and consent withdrawals.

Insurance policy issuance

Insurance policy issuance

Life, health, and general insurance policy consent capture on video at the moment of issuance. When a claim is disputed, you can represent a recording as evidence instead of tick box.

Loan agreement & sanction

Loan agreement & sanction

Loan terms, interest rate, repayment schedule, and pre-payment clauses were consented to on video before disbursement. If the borrower later disputes, you have the recording. Useful for unsecured loans, BNPL, and any product where dispute risk is real.

DPDP 2023 data sharing

DPDP 2023 data sharing

Sensitive personal data sharing under DPDP 2023 requires informed, granular, withdrawable consent, not a buried tick box. Smart Consent records the specific purpose, what is being shared, with whom, and for how long in language the customer actually understands.

Frequently asked questions

Smart Consent — common questions.

What compliance, risk, and product teams ask before signing.

Smart Consent is a video consent capture solution for lenders insurers and financial services in India. Instead of a checkbox or click to agree button Smart Consent records the customers consent on video with identity verification OTP on camera confirmation and a script based flow. The result is a tamper proof evidence package that is DPDP 2023
compliant and can be used in policy or loan disputes.

A checkbox only proves that something was clicked. It does not prove who clicked it what they understood or whether they were the actual customer. Video consent captures the customers face voice and clear statement of agreement along with verified identity and timestamps. In case of disputes or loan recovery issues video evidence is much harder to deny or challenge.

Yes, Smart Consent is built to meet DPDP 2023 requirements for valid informed and specific consent. It records what was consented to when by whom and for what purpose. It also supports consent withdrawal as required by the Act. Data is stored on Indian servers and retained as per your policy.

Smart Consent is used at the consent stage after KYC verification and before policy issuance or loan disbursement. Many companies use it together with Video KYC so identity and consent are captured in the same session. It can also be used separately for existing customers when re-consent is needed or for specific actions like nominee updates or premium changes.

Smart Consent can capture consent for insurance policy issuance, loan agreements, premium updates, nominee changes, terms of service updates, data sharing consent, account closure, and any other situation where customer approval is required and legally important. The script and verification steps can be customized for each use case.
