# Setting up privacy consent settings

As an administrator, you can configure privacy consent templates, location-based privacy configurations, and notifications used to send privacy consent alerts for Safe Workplace suite applications.

With Employee Readiness Core, you can configure various privacy policies such as those governing the use of data or test results, or to track health status, and send notifications to employees seeking consent to the use of their data.

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.

As an administrator, you must configure the following settings to use privacy consents with Employee Readiness Core:

1.  [Modify or create a privacy consent template](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/employee-readiness-core/define-privacy-consent-common-template.md).
2.  [Generate or locate privacy-based configurations](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/employee-readiness-core/generate-location-common-privacy-configuration.md).
3.  Assign the sn\_imt\_core.privacy\_consent\_user role to all users who must respond to a privacy policy.
4.  Add all users who must respond to a privacy policy to a Safe Workplace audience.
