Description

Country Consent

Give your Invision Community a privacy-first way to handle member country display. Country Consent detects a member's country privately, keeps it hidden by default, and only shows a public country flag after the member explicitly chooses what to do. It is built for communities that want country visibility without forcing automatic public disclosure.

🔒 What It Does

Country Consent introduces an approval-based country workflow for member accounts. Instead of auto-publishing a detected country or flag, the app prompts the member to confirm the detected country, choose a different one, or hide their country entirely. Nothing is displayed publicly until that decision is made.

✨ Key Features

Privacy-First Country Display

• Private Detection: Detect a member's country without immediately exposing it on their profile or across the community

• Consent Before Display: Require an explicit member decision before any public flag is shown

• Default Hidden State: New and existing members remain non-public until they make a choice

• Member-Controlled Visibility: Let members hide their country entirely if they do not want it displayed

Clear Member Choice Workflow

• Confirm Detected Country: Members can approve the country detected for their account

• Choose a Different Country: Members can override detection and pick a country manually

• Hide Country: Members can opt out completely and keep their country private

• Persistent Prompting: Pending members are reminded until they make a final choice

Public Display with Consent Only

• Flag-Only Output: Public display focuses on the member's approved country flag

• No Pending Leaks: Detected countries are never shown publicly while a member is still undecided

• Approved Members Only: Public flags appear only for members who have explicitly approved visibility

• Targeted Front-End Hooks: Display approved flags in selected community areas without relying on broad JS link injection

Directory and Account Controls

• Public Country Directory: Browse countries and view only members who approved public visibility

• Account Settings Integration: Members can revisit and change their country decision later

• Privacy State Tracking: Separate private detection from public approval for cleaner data handling

• Minimal ACP Settings: Keep administration simple while preserving the privacy-first model

🚀 Perfect For

• Privacy-Conscious Communities: Give members control over whether location-related profile details are public

• International Boards: Show country flags only when members actually want them shown

• Communities in Sensitive Regions: Avoid exposing country information by default

• Modern IPS Sites: Replace older auto-flag behavior with a consent-driven workflow

• Administrators Who Want Simplicity: Use a straightforward member-choice flow instead of complex moderation rules
