Full transcript
This lane has an off switch, and you hold it.
Section 7(a) covers what you volunteered,
unless you indicate that you do not consent.
The Act's second example is a broker.
Pause. You say you no longer need help. Then what?
Y shall cease to process your data.
Not may. Shall.
You never signed a consent form here,
and you still get to end it.
Volunteering is not a one-way door.
