You use this business function to:
Create groupings based on social media channels and data provider
Define social consent management based on the country and grouping
Make available the following consent types (4 types)
You can group the social media channel according to the legal terms and conditions on usage of the data from this channel within your organization. The group can be defined in this activity, for example, as Public, Private, Licensed, or Internal. This group information, together with the country, is used to configure consent management. The data within the same channel could be classified into any number of groups. For example, the data harvested from Facebook via public search using DataSift connector could be classified as Licensed and the data harvested from the Facebook Corporate fan page could be classified as Public. In this case, the classification is based on the retrieval mode for social media data.
