Hello, 

Just a quick remark:

## implied consent

[...]
Similarly, under European and similar data protection law, consent isn't universal, it's not that every data processing takes place with some kind of consent, but rather that you need informed consent when something of a particular weight is happening and there isn't another justification and in other cases it's reasonable for you to do the processing without getting consent (because it's not personal data, say), not that you did have some implied consent.
[...]

Under the GDPR, the implicit answer to the collection or use of data generated by the user is "Not consent". There is no such a thing as implicit consent. Either you explicitly consent, or you don't (see https://gdpr.eu/article-7-how-to-get-consent-to-collect-personal-data/). Article 6 of the GDPR gives some cases in which consent is not required, but you need to demonstrate that you fall under one of those cases.

Best regards,

Antoine Fressancourt
