"Opt-in" means that the default is off, and it is optional to the user, if they wish to take action to opt-in to sharing/communications.

"Opt-out" seems like what you mean, where a legitimate interest makes them default to sharing, and you are doubtful whether a "Reject all" opt-out will affect those settings?
- imiric 2y agoRight, that's what I meant. "Opt-in by default" to me means that the default is to share my data, but I can see how that could mean the reverse. Thanks.
- Dylan16807 2y agoI would suggest you say "opted in by default" when you want that meaning, if you particularly want to use the word 'opt'. Then "opt-in" can continue to mean you have to opt to be in, and everyone should avoid saying "opt-in by default".
