An opt-in policy states that any collector of personal information must refrain from using any collected data unless expressly permitted to do so by the owner of that information, and only in the ways that the owner of the data allows them to. An opt-out policy means that the onus is on the owner of the information to notify the company that collects their personal data which types, and for what purpose, their personal information may be used.
