The right to opt out at any time means research participation is not a permanent or irrevocable commitment, giving users ongoing control over their involvement.
Interpretive note: The excerpt contains only the phrase 'You can opt out at any time' without specifying what the user is opting out of. The clause name references research opt-out, and surrounding context supports this reading, but the evidence span alone does not name 'research' explicitly. Confidence is medium because the claim relies partly on the clause name and document context to establish the subject matter.
The reader may opt out of research at any time without a stated deadline or restriction.
