Why this rule existsrationale
A consent-conditional promise is not a promise: any dark-pattern checkbox re-opens the sharing the clause was meant to close. Carriers require the prohibition to be absolute because consumer "authorisation" to share is precisely the mechanism lead-generation operations use.
How to fix itremediation
Delete any conditional qualifier from the non-sharing sentence so it reads as an unconditional commitment.
