Opt-in / Opt-out

Opt-in: prior consent before contact. Opt-out: the right to refuse afterwards. Their regime depends on channel and context.

Opt-in requires explicit agreement before any send (the general B2C rule). Opt-out allows contacting and then offering an easy way to unsubscribe (often accepted in B2B on a legitimate-interest basis).

Whatever the regime, every message must include a clear unsubscribe mechanism and honor it immediately. Maintaining a suppression list is an obligation as much as a deliverability best practice.
