opt-out
Elect to abstain
Opt-out means to choose not to participate in something, especially when participation is the default: You can opt-out of marketing emails.
The noun or adjective opt-out describes systems where you must actively decline rather than actively join: an opt-out organ donation policy.
Compare with opt-in, where participation requires explicit consent.
