Opt-out

A form of control whereby use of personal data is permitted unless the data subject has objected beforehand. Also called the "no-objection system". Under the EHDS, secondary use is subject to an opt-out that can be exercised at any time. The opt-out has no retroactive effect, however, and therefore does not affect a permit already granted or a request already approved.
