Screenshot: Three-screen profile sharing and payment agreement sign-up flow in the app (Vipps or MobilePay) — the consent step shows a "Give access" screen listing profile fields (name, email, phone number, address, birth date) with an "I accept" button; the overview step shows the agreement with a campaign discount callout; the approval step shows a "Confirm payment method" prompt with a payment card and a Pay/Confirm button.
