Opt-in and opt-out

Opt-in is a customer agreeing to receive messages from a business; opt-out is them asking to stop, which the business must honour.

What it means

Also called consent, unsubscribe.

WhatsApp marketing templates should only go to people who opted in. An opt-out must stop further messages, and should be remembered even if the customer's other data is deleted.

In HeyKiko

When HeyKiko erases a customer's data, their opt-out is kept so they're never messaged again.
