Consent management
Consent that remains tamperproof
The value of a consent record lies in its reliability and legal compliance. Ensuring signed consents are locked and tamperproof is essential. LightRocket uses hashing technology to prevent unauthorised modifications, and keeps a log (with timestamps and IP addresses) of any events linked to a signed form.

Taken over the signed document at the moment it was signed. Any later change to the stored copy produces a different hash, and the mismatch is the proof.

Consent forms you can rely on
Signed consent forms are as valuable as any asset in your system. LightRocket stores signed tamperproof consent forms exactly as they were at the moment of signing.
01
A snapshot of what was signed
The wording, the ticked usages, the completed fields and the signature, stored as one document. Editing the template afterwards does not change it.
02
A hash key makes it tamperproof
A checksum taken at the moment of signing. Any change to the stored copy, however small, produces a different hash and shows up as a mismatch.
03
Every event logged and trackable
Sent, opened, signed, downloaded, revoked, superseded. Every single event with a record who did it, when, and the IP address it came from.
04
A PDF you can hand over
Download a signed consent as a PDF, for a legal team, an auditor or the person who signed it. It is an exact copy of the real thing, not an approximation of it.
Admin reporting
Audit trails for consent and downloads
System generated consent and download records mean administrators can always track key actions – be it for consent or for files downloaded from the platform.
- Download usage across the library, by person and by file
- Share history, so link sent outside the organisation are accounted for
- Consent events with IP addresses, for the ones that end up disputed
- Read from the platform rather than multiple export files
