Full transcript
Withdrawal has to travel down the chain.
Section 6 does not stop at the company.
They must cease processing,
and cause their Processors to cease too.
Pause. Within what time?
Within a reasonable time.
Unless the law requires or authorises it anyway.
The Act's example is a telecom bill by email.
You switch to the app, and the vendor stops.
One withdrawal, the whole chain.
