1. 477 +Addition Julie Rechagneux +7ECR, PfE · ITRE–LIBE “The creation of a permanent user account, or the provision of personal data by the data subject, may be required in order to access offers or to…” numbered 46d

   (46d)The creation of a permanent user account, or the provision of personal data by the data subject, may be required in order to access offers or to purchase goods or services only where strictly necessary. Where such access or purchase can be ensured without it, the controller should offer the data subject a clear, easily accessible and non-discriminatory means to proceed, which should not give rise to less favourable conditions for the data subject. Making access to a service conditional on the creation of an account which is not necessary for the performance of the contract deprives consent of its free character.

   Justification

   Forced account creation is a widespread practice which conditions access to a service on the provision of data that is unnecessary for the contract. The guest option restores the free character of consent required by Article 7(4).
