The lawfulness of data processing carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR) If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right, at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
