This is the second half of the sign up flow. The email sent to the user in the first half of the sign up flow contains a link to the (frontend) confirmation page. This will get the confirmation ID from the URL and POST it to the backend, along with the user's choices regarding consent for processing their personal data.

The consent object has the following properties:

• bool profile : Consent for the processing of profile data
• bool model : Consent for the processing of model data
• bool openData : Whether or not the user allows publishing of measurements as open data

For more details on user consent, please consult FreeSewing's privacy notice.

Our frontend won't allow users to proceed without profile consent as storing your data requires that consent. The backend enforces this too
