Right
Consent withdrawal is the right to take back consent at any time, as easily as it was given, after which processing must stop.
Where consent given by the Data Principal is the basis of processing of personal data, such Data Principal shall have the right to withdraw her consent at any time, with the ease of doing so being comparable to the ease with which such consent was given.
Withdrawal must be as simple as giving consent in the first place. A one-tap opt-in cannot become a buried, multi-step opt-out.
On withdrawal the fiduciary must, within a reasonable time, stop processing and cause its processors to stop, unless another lawful basis requires the processing to continue.
If you agreed to marketing emails with one click, unsubscribing must be just as easy, and the sender must then stop.
Does withdrawal undo past processing?
No. Withdrawal does not affect the legality of processing done before it, but future processing must stop.
Can I withdraw through a Consent Manager?
Yes. Section 6(7) lets you give, manage, review and withdraw consent through a Consent Manager.
