That fails the test:

> Consent should not be regarded as freely given if the data subject has no genuine or free choice or is unable to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment.

My understanding is that the end user is not the subject in a commercial contract. The licensing entity (the business) is the end user and as a result, if they accept the terms, which them apply to all employees, it's irrelevant whether the consumer terms apply to the employees' individual cases or not because they're no the licensee/subject.

Again, this is how things generally work in commercial contracts outside of GDPR (including Safe Harbor and EU/95/46 before it), and I don't see why this would be different.

I suspect "genuine" and "free" are terms of art. Not to mention "detriment". Reading it with common sense in mind may not be productive.
While this is certainly possible, I would have to see a (legal dictionary?) to change my mind.

Any links?

The words are probably defined within the document, not in the legal dictionary.
