What is opt-out?
“Opting out” means that you do not grant a data recipient permission to view your information. Therefore your publication settings are set to private for the concerned products.
When new data recipients connect to My Product Manager, we find it important to keep you informed. The email about this procedure is not only to notify you of the new connection but also to allow you to consciously decide whether this recipient may view your data and, if necessary, to adjust your publications.
Why opt-out or make public?
Your product sheets not only feed websites and web shops but also support companies’ internal systems or provide data to consumers with certain allergies, dietary needs, etc.
Making your own brand products public ensures good data flow, visibility, and efficiency.
Opting out is particularly important for products identified as private labels or store brands. In such cases, it is not intended for all recipients to receive the information. Only the brand owner can make this information public.
