Opt‑out
Consent
Consent model where processing is enabled by default and users must disable it to stop processing.
Definition
Opt‑out means processing starts unless the user takes action to stop it. For privacy-sensitive processing, opt‑out can be weak if controls are hard to find or unclear.
In plain English
Consent model where processing is enabled by default and users must disable it to stop processing.
Why this matters
Why it matters: Default-on collection increases exposure and can undermine meaningful consent.
Example
Example: Provide prominent opt‑out controls, honor signals promptly, and apply minimization even when opted in.
