That guide says "consent should not be bundled up as a condition of service unless it is necessary for that service". But what does "necessary for that service" mean? I suspect that "we can't make money unless we're tracking you" wouldn't qualify, but it would be nice if they had a few more clarifying examples.
- manigandham 7y agoIf it's how the service is paid for then it's necessary for the service.
- zaarn 7y agoFrom what I understood via local company legal, "necessary" means "this type of service cannot possibly exist without this data". Ie, your email may be required to use a service that notifies you via email for shopping deals. Email addresses are private data and in this case, you can't use the service without it. Making a profit is not necessary to operate a service in the same way. It's necessary for the company to be profitable but that is irrelevant to the GDPR.
