Consent for a submitted offer request cannot be withdrawn

The terms say you cannot withdraw E-Consent for electronic communications about offer requests submitted through Credit Karma because each request is a one-time transaction. This rule is specifically about those requests; a later application on a provider’s own site may involve a further consent request.
