Amendment 408· Digital Omnibus proposal Recital 43g (new)

(43g)Users may consent to the processing of their metadata to receive specific services such as protection services against fraudulent activities (by analysing usage data, location and customer account in real time). In the digital economy, services are often supplied against counter-performance other than money, for instance by exposing users to advertisements. Consent for processing data from internet or voice communication usage will not be valid if the data subject has no genuine and free choice, or is unable to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment. Consent should not be considered as freely given if it is obtained through repetitive requests. In order to prevent such abusive requests, users should be able to order service providers to remember their choice not to consent and to adhere to technical specifications signalling not to consent, withdrawal of consent, or a refusal to all processing that may otherwise be based on consent including for purposes related to cross-site tracking or downstream processing for personalised advertising.
