What is Opt-Out?

Opt-Out is the process by which a customer or user withdraws their consent to receive communications, messages, or marketing content from a business or service provider. It allows users to stop receiving unwanted messages, ensuring respect for their privacy and compliance with regulations.

Key Points:
-Withdrawal of Consent: Users actively choose to stop receiving messages.
-Regulatory Compliance: Required under laws like GDPR, TCPA, and TRAI to prevent spam.
-Methods: Can be done via replying to a message (e.g., “STOP”), clicking an unsubscribe link, or adjusting preferences in an app or website.
-Purpose: Protects customer choice, reduces complaints, and maintains brand trust.

Example:
A customer receiving promotional SMS from a brand replies “STOP” to the number to unsubscribe from future messages.
