It doesn't matter if you need the data to provide the service, you still need to ask for consent for any personal data - and personal data is defined extremely broadly.

Sorry, but this is completely wrong. See art 6:

https://gdpr-info.eu/art-6-gdpr/

There are 6 options. Option a is the consent you are talking about. I am talking about option b.

Basically, having multiple legale bases can't hurt, so our lawyers said: Get both option a and b.
