opt-out mechanisms

Opt-out mechanisms are processes that allow individuals to decline participation in certain activities, such as receiving communications or sharing personal information. For instance, when you sign up for a service, it might ask if you want to receive newsletters. If you prefer not to receive them, you can choose to opt out. This empowers you to maintain control over your personal data and preferences, ensuring you only engage with what you want. Organizations typically provide these options to respect user privacy and comply with regulations.
