Your rights are granted by law. They cannot be alienated by entering into a relationship, nor can a relationship extend you more rights than what the law grants you (or at least, you have no way of defending, or seek damages for the violation of, those rights granted to you by the relationship, but not the law).
As such any discussion about what rights a consensual BDSM slave has is meaningless. A consensual BDSM slave has exactly the same rights, no more, no less, as their Owner, or anybody else for that matter.
Pretending otherwise, or agreeing otherwise, or stipulating otherwise, is a fantasy, because when push comes to shove, the only thing the slave has to do to reclaim their rights is involve the law.
Likewise, it's foolish to define agreements of privileges granted within the relationship as 'rights' (such as the 'right' to be loved, or to not be cheated on, or lied to) because when one party decides not to uphold those 'rights' there is no real recourse besides being angry. At the same time, the fact that the wrong party feels entitled to the supposed 'right' (instead of accurately viewing it as a privileged) only makes the pain worse when a violation does happen, because then, not only does the damaged party feel hurt because the privilege they valued is no longer being extended, they feel violated and plundered, because something they viewed as their rightful property was stolen from them.
