Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause identifies a legal basis for processing personal information without user consent, meaning consent is not an absolute prerequisite to processing in all circumstances.

Interpretive note: The excerpt uses 'including, for example' before the stated scenario, indicating it is illustrative rather than exhaustive. Additional legally permitted exceptions to consent may exist but are not enumerated in the excerpt.
