The Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF) is a framework designed to help publishers, technology vendors, agencies, advertisers, and digital marketers comply with Canadian privacy laws. It does this by providing technical specifications and policy documents that help these groups clearly and consistently communicate with users about how their data is being used. It also gives users the ability to object to certain data uses and manage their consent preferences.
The TCF is a collaborative effort between the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) Canada and other industry stakeholders. It was developed in response to Canada's Digital Charter, which came into effect in 2020. The Digital Charter requires organizations to obtain meaningful consent from users before collecting, using, or disclosing their personal information.
The TCF is a flexible framework that can be adapted to different business models and technologies. It is also designed to be interoperable with other privacy frameworks, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe.
