Opt-out

Opt-out refers to the process of choosing not to participate in something, such as a service or data collection. In many contexts, especially in marketing and privacy, individuals may be automatically included in a program or have their information shared unless they actively decline or "opt-out." This gives people control over their personal data and choices, allowing them to decide what they want to receive or be part of. Opting out is common in areas like email subscriptions, cookies on websites, or various membership programs.
