A defensible record has the language shown, the timestamp, the source, and the version. Most stacks store one of the four.
In a TCPA dispute, the question is never whether you had a checkbox. It is whether you can produce, for one specific person on one specific date, the exact language they agreed to.
A defensible record contains four elements: the verbatim disclosure text shown, a trustworthy timestamp, the capture source including page and campaign, and a version identifier for the consent language itself.
Most stacks store a boolean. When the language changes — and it always changes — the record becomes unfalsifiable and therefore worthless.
Retention matters just as much. Keep records for the full limitations period plus a margin, and make sure revocation is recorded with the same fidelity as the original consent.
Test the process, not the schema: pick a real record at random and try to produce the packet in under an hour. If you cannot, neither can your counsel.
