This is my understanding, too. Sorry if that wasn't clear in my earlier comment. However, I also believe that unenforceable parts of a contract have no effect, except in the minds …

You can withdraw consent later, but I don't see how that would affect data processed before the withdrawal (except that storage is processing and the data would have to be deleted)…
