Make sure we have consent when using storage for discussion in apps

Current App Behaviour

iOS does not offer users the option to set preferences which means there is no need to store preferences on the device.

Current DCR Behaviour

DCR offers users the ability to store their filtering preferences. These get stored in local storage. Because this doesn't store personal details, we do not require consent.

Current DCAR Behaviour

The webview writes to its own local storage which is in turn stored to file in the app's sandboxed storage, which allows it to persist between sessions. We do get consent with users when reading / writing from local storage. However, as we do not write any personal data to local storage, we are not required to check for consent here.

Waiting to hear back from data privacy that this does not require consent
