opted out
Said no thanks
Opted out is the past tense of opt out, meaning to choose not to participate in something that one might otherwise be included in by default.
The phrase often appears in contexts involving subscriptions, programs, or automatic enrollments: I opted out of the company newsletter.
It implies a deliberate decision to withdraw or decline, usually from something that requires active refusal rather than active acceptance.
