consent-receipt-go

CLI utilities and Go library for generating and validating Consent Receipts in line with the Kantara Initiative Consent Receipt Specification.

consent-receipt-go implements KI-CR-v1.1.0 of the consent receipt specification.

Installing

consent-receipt-go makes use of Go modules and was developed and tested with Go 1.12 and 1.13, respectively. Installation otherwise follows the same general go get pattern:

$ go get github.com/adaptant-labs/consent-receipt-go

while upgrading can be accomplished with:

$ go get -u github.com/adaptant-labs/consent-receipt-go

Setting up Bash Completion

In the case where Bash completion for CLI sub-commands is desired, the CLI app contains a built-in script generator. To install this system-wide:

# consent-receipt-go completion /etc/bash_completion.d/consent-receipt-go

and re-source the active user's $HOME/.bashrc or simply log out and back in.

By default, when no output file is provided to the completion command, the active completion script is written to stdout for run-time resolution in a user's $HOME/.bashrc.

Configuration

Configuration is done through a $HOME/.consent-receipt-go.toml.

Configuration for Validation

At present, validation of the JWT token requires knowledge of the signing key. A minimal configuration for this is:

[config]

signing-key = "my-totally-secret-key"

Configuration for Generation

Generation of Consent Receipts, on the other hand, requires one (or more) Data Controller definition(s). An example of this is:

[config]

signing-key = "my-totally-secret-key"
privacy-policy = "https://www.adaptant.io/privacy-policy"

[[controller]]

name = "Adaptant Solutions AG"
contact = "Paul Mundt"
phone = "49-89-904101300"
email = "compliance@adaptant.io"
url = "https://www.adaptant.io"

        [controller.address]

        country = "DE"
        city = "Deisenhofen"
        region = "BY"
        postalcode = "82041"
        address = "Bahnhofstr. 36"

[[controller]]

name = "Additional Data Controller, Inc."
contact = "John Smith"
phone = "1-800-123-4567"
email = "example@example.com"

        [controller.address]

        country = "US"
        city = "San Francisco"
        region = "CA"
        postalcode = "94105"
