This provision establishes a carve-out permitting continued processing of sensitive data after user opt-out under legal bases other than consent; the scope of those alternative legal bases is not enumerated in this clause, creating compliance questions regarding which processing purposes may continue without consent.
Interpretive note: The provision does not enumerate the specific legal bases that would support continued processing of sensitive data after opt-out, creating ambiguity about the scope of processing that may lawfully continue in each jurisdiction.
Under this clause, opting out of certain sensitive data uses does not guarantee cessation of all processing; the agreement states that sensitive data may continue to be processed where permitted under applicable law, and the specific legal bases that would support such continued processing are not enumerated in this provision.

Withdrawing your consent will only apply to future processing activities and will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew your consent. For example, you may be able to withdraw your consent or opt out of certain uses of your 'sensitive' or 'special category' data by going to your in-app Settings and then tapping Privacy Settings. Note that if you opt out, your data may continue to be processed where permitted under applicable law.Excerpt from Grindr's Privacy Policy
