## Practice

* Create a transparency portal that contains a full list of transactions and offers meaningful redress.
* No personal information is shared without the user's consent, unless the data request is made by law enforcement or any other entity lawfully entitled to such data. In all other cases, users can choose to comply with a request for information fully, not at all, or partially, by selectively disclosing parts of the information they have been asked for.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://safedpi.gitbook.io/safeguards/universal-dpi-safeguards-framework/processes/o5.5-ensure-that-access-to-personal-information-is-based-on-the-informed-consent-of-the-user.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
