# Managing Consent
source: https://developer.mastercard.com/open-finance-au/documentation/consent/manage-consent/index.md

One of the obligations driven by CDR regulation around consent is providing consumers (also known as customers) with a dashboard where they can see and manage their consent/arrangements. To simplify fulfilling this requirement, Mastercard provides the [Connect Dashboard](https://developer.mastercard.com/open-finance-au/documentation/connect/generate-2-connect-url-apis/index.md#connect-dashboard).

### Data redundancy or what to do when consent becomes invalid {#data-redundancy-or-what-to-do-when-consent-becomes-invalid}

Unless an exception applies, under CDR regulation, the data recipient is obligated to remove all fetched CDR data, as well as data derived from it as soon as:

1. Consent/arrangement to access this data expires or is revoked.
2. The service was provided and there is no more need to obtain the customer's data, even if the consent is still valid.

There are a few ways a customer can revoke the overall, or individual, institution consent:

* Through [Connect Dashboard](https://developer.mastercard.com/open-finance-au/documentation/connect/generate-2-connect-url-apis/index.md#connect-dashboard)
* Through the application or other ways of communication provided by the FI
* Through other ways of communication, for example, by [contacting Mastercard](mailto:DataComplaints_au@mastercard.com)

<br />

In each case, the data recipient is obligated to act on the obtained and derived data by deleting them.
The best way to know when the consent is revoked or expired is to subscribe for [Consent Notifications](https://developer.mastercard.com/open-finance-au/documentation/consent/consent-notifications/index.md).

We also provide [consent APIs](https://developer.mastercard.com/open-finance-au/documentation/consent/consent-apis/index.md) for the purposes of querying and revoking consents. These endpoints may not be suitable for all partners.
