# consentRecord

query · in the family [Consent record](/reference/consent-record/)

## What it does

Look up one record — one customer’s decision on one consent purpose — a legal fact.

A ConsentRecord by id, within the caller's OWN org-group family; requires authentication. A cross-tenant id reads as null (not-found) AND trips the rootId tripwire server-side.

## What happens

Reads only — changes nothing.

## Who may call it

Capability area: **Reading your records** — Looking up and listing the records of your organization.

- Owner
- System Administrator
- Manager
- Associate Manager
- Sales Associate
- An API key whose scope allows `api:consentRecord`

## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | [ID](/types/#scalars) `ID!` | yes | The id of the record. |

## Returns

[ConsentRecord](/types/ConsentRecord/) — A ConsentRecord — the PROOF-OF-DECISION per (Consumer × Purpose): CONSUMER-parented (parentId = the Consumer id — the LoyaltyMember construct-parented class), family document, SPARSE (a record materializes ONLY on an explicit decision — the ratified DUAL BIRTH: born directly granted on a grant, withdrawn on a withdraw \[ruling 4 — an explicit 'no' is proof-of-refusal on EITHER model]). The PERMANENT (consumer × purpose) UNIQ pair marker is BOTH the singleton guarantee AND the O(1) lookup (never released, never taken over; purge reaps). FSM: granted ⇄ withdrawn (bidirectional forever — GDPR Art. 7(3), withdrawal as easy as granting) → doomed ONLY via system:consumer_erased. NO update op — the ONLY writes are the 4 decide ops (grantConsent/withdrawConsent staff · grantMyConsent/withdrawMyConsent consumer) + the system doom; a SAME-decision re-capture is a capture-context REVISION under a new policyVersion (re-consent — route 3; revisions keep every prior capture, the Art. 7(1) proof). Capture context ∈ {policyVersion, captureSurface ∈ \[storefront, pos, back_office, cli, import], captureLocale?} reflects the LATEST decision. Effective consent = resolveEffectiveConsent (the myConsents view): consumer doomed ⇒ DENIED · purpose inactive/doomed ⇒ DENIED · granted ⇒ ALLOWED · withdrawn/doomed ⇒ DENIED · ABSENT ⇒ opt_in? DENIED: ALLOWED. AUDIT RIDES EXISTING MACHINERY — NO bespoke ledger. NOT searchable (PII-bearing proof — the stance).
