What does Opt Out require in terms of consent?

Require the individual to take action to start processing personal information for secondary uses
Assume consent unless explicitly denied
Prohibit any use of personal information without consent
Use personal information without any consent

The correct answer is: Assume consent unless explicitly denied

Opting out requires assuming consent unless explicitly denied. This means that by default, the organization can process personal information for secondary uses unless the individual actively chooses to opt out and deny their consent. This approach places the burden on the individual to take action to prevent their information from being used, shifting the default position to one of consent. This is why option B is the correct choice. On the other hand, options A, C, and D are incorrect. Option A suggests that the individual needs to take action to start processing personal information for secondary uses, which is not the case with an opt-out mechanism. Option C states that any use of personal information is prohibited without consent, which does not align with the concept of opting out. Option D is incorrect because using personal information without any consent would be a violation of privacy rights and regulatory requirements.
