contents <p class="MsoNormal"><span>In the digital era, personal data is continuously collected, processed, and shared by organizations across various sectors. Traditional consent management systems suffer from centralization, opacity, and insufficient user control, making it difficult for individuals to track and enforce their data-sharing preferences. This paper presents ConsentChain, a decentralized consent governance protocol built on the Polygon blockchain. The system leverages Ethereum-compatible smart contracts to implement purpose-bound, time-limited, and user-revocable consent records, backed by an immutable on-chain audit trail. The architecture employs two core Solidity smart contracts—ConsentManager and AccessController—supported by a React-based frontend and MetaMask wallet integration. Comprehensive end-to-end testing demonstrates 18 of 18 test cases passing, validating the correctness of consent lifecycle management, access validation, role-based access control, and event logging. ConsentChain demonstrates that blockchain technology can provide a transparent, tamper-proof, and user-sovereign alternative to conventional consent management systems, with clear pathways toward enterprise adoption, multi-chain deployment, and zero-knowledge privacy extensions.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><em><span>Index Terms—</span></em><span>Blockchain, Consent Management, Smart Contracts, Data Privacy, GDPR, Decentralized Systems, Ethereum, Polygon, Access Control, Audit Trail.</span></p>
