  <p>Our organization requires consent to trade, and some of the new contacts, entered by volunteers, did not specify Do Not Trade &amp; it has caused some confusion. In order to prevent this in the future we'd like to have this as default.</p>

  Make sure you have [CiviRules](https://civicrm.org/extensions/civirules) installed and then create a rule with a trigger of *Contact of any type is added* with an action of *Set Privacy Options of a Contact* = *Privacy option(s) Do not Trade switched ON*.
