How can consumers submit their opt-out requests?

Consumers can submit their opt-out requests either by email or in writing because these methods provide a clear, documented approach that allows for a proper and verifiable submission. Email communications create a digital record, while written requests can be often confirmed through mail delivery systems. This flexibility ensures that consumers have multiple avenues available to communicate their wishes, catering to different preferences and capabilities.

Other options, such as restricting requests to a phone call or an online form, limit consumer access and may not accommodate everyone’s ability to navigate these channels. In-person submissions also pose challenges, as not all consumers may have the means or opportunity to visit a physical location. Thus, the ability to opt out via email or in writing strikes a balance between accessibility and security.
