Several privacy laws require you to get consent before collecting the personal information of website users (emails, phone numbers, names, IP addresses, etc.)

Vinas (the Legal Director at SHUSAKU·YAMAMOTO, named as 2023 Japan IP Law Firm of the Year by the Asian Legal Business) about the proper way to get consent.
