# Withdrawal of consent

> A person's right to withdraw consent at any time, as easily as they gave it.

Under the GDPR, a data subject has the right to withdraw consent at any time, and withdrawing must be as easy as giving it. Withdrawal does not make earlier processing unlawful, but processing based on that consent must stop. For agents, withdrawal should reach every system holding a copy of the grant, which in practice means revoking tokens as well as updating a record.
