# E25005 — PreferencePersonStatedNotRemovable

This preference records the person's own statement, so it cannot be deleted.

- **HTTP status**: `422`
- **Type**: `validation_error`
- **Name**: `PreferencePersonStatedNotRemovable`

## What to do

An unsubscribe, a stop keyword, or a preference-page choice is the person's statement to reverse, not the workspace's. To restore messaging with their consent, record a `granted` statement carrying `consented_at` evidence — that records the change of mind instead of erasing the opt-out.
