Article 6.1(a): consent 

We collect the information you choose to give us, and we process it under your consent. You may withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. 

Please remember that the withdrawal of consent does NOT automatically mean that the processing before the withdrawal is considered unlawful.
