Consent Revocation Mechanism

Meaning

A Consent Revocation Mechanism is the mandatory, unambiguous, and easily accessible technical procedure by which an individual formally withdraws their previously granted permission for the collection, processing, or sharing of their personal health data, particularly sensitive physiological and hormonal profiles. This mechanism must be as simple to execute as the initial granting of consent, reflecting the ethical principle of continuous patient control over their digital health footprint. Once activated, the system must immediately halt all secondary use of the specified data and initiate a clear, documented process for data suppression or deletion, depending on regulatory allowances.
