Parts of the declaration shall not be binding if they constitute a breach of this regulation.
3. The data subject has the right to withdraw consent at any time. The revocation of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation. The data subject shall be informed of this before giving consent. Withdrawal of consent must be as simple as giving consent.
4. In assessing whether consent has been freely given, the greatest possible consideration must be given to whether the performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is dependent on consent to the processing of personal data which is not necessary for the performance of the contract.
