# Setting up data privacy consent settings for Contact Tracing

As an admin, you can configure privacy consent templates, location-based privacy configurations, email notifications, and outreach notifications for sending privacy consent alerts in Contact Tracing.

In Contact Tracing, you can configure and send privacy consent notifications that request employees to consent to having their data used for contact tracing purposes.

User privacy regulations vary from country to country. For some countries, consent by employees to use their data is not required but for others it is a must. You can set different privacy policies for different locations and organization setups. Some organizations maintain a separate privacy policy for each location while others maintain a single privacy policy for all locations.
