Social media consent template (free)
For Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or your website: use a PDF template — or collect approval digitally. What matters less is the document itself, and more that later you can trace what was approved, when, and for which occasion.
Translator: What starts as a “consent form” becomes in LegitForm a shared approval (Living Consent) — one shared state with history, instead of loose versions in PDFs/chats. Learn more.
What should be clear for social media?
- Purposes: post/story/reel, advertising/ads, website/portfolio, press.
- Duration: unlimited vs until a date.
- Editing: retouching, cropping, color grading.
- Revocation/changes: how you document changes.
PDF template vs digital flow
Template / PDF
- quick and familiar
- works for simple cases
- later often hard to map (project/version)
LegitForm (process)
- approval lands in the right project
- timing + scope are documented traceably
- proof is created when you finalize (PDF + protocol)
If you do it digitally (short flow)
- Create a project (e.g., “Shoot March 2026”).
- Share link/QR — participants don’t need an account.
- Consent is received in the project (interim state).
- Finalize → create proof (PDF + protocol) and export.
Is a social media PDF template enough?
For simple cases often yes. The confusion usually comes later: project mapping, versions, closure state.
What should the consent include?
Purposes (post/story/ads), duration, editing, and (if relevant) revocation notes — appropriate for your case.
When is the proof created in LegitForm?
Only when you finalize. Then the proof (PDF + protocol) becomes exportable.
Does the person need an account?
No. Confirming works in the browser without an account.
Is this legal advice?
No. This is a template/guidance. Check the text for your country and situation.
