Why opt out of data brokers?

Remove Your Home Address from Google

Data brokers can provide stalkers and troublemakers with your home address and the addresses of your family members.

Prevent Identity Theft and Fraud

Data brokers provide your personal information to Identity thieves. That information is used to forge documents, guess passwords, answer secret questions, and to gain access to your accounts.

Reduce Phishing, Spam Calls and Email

Data brokers sell your email address and phone number without your knowledge or permission. This results in phishing attempts, unwanted spam calls and email.

Strengthen Your Digital Privacy Protections

Reduce your digital footprint. Limit the surface area for attack by limiting the amount of information that's available on you. Don't let it fall into the wrong hands.

Hear from our users

I'm very pleased to see 93 percent of my personal information has been removed from data brokers and internet searches. Thank you for providing this great service. [...]

Mike

Hey, I just noticed I'm not showing up on a lot of these famous people's search sites; that makes me very happy!! I am aware that these data broker sites do repopulate from time to time, so it seems like I will require your services for the foreseeable future. In my opinion, it's money well spent. Thank you for continuing to do good work.

Scott

This product gives me great comfort that my sensitive information is more protected, especially in this day and age with increased cyber attacks. I love what Optery is doing!

Aleem

You guys are doing great at getting my info off the internet keep up the great work.

Brian

This is totally mind blowing & I am so so amazed! I am definitely getting this service! I will change [sic] my phone number and email address.

Brenda

The amount of data being shared, bought and sold about us is beyond what most people imagine. This is a great tool to start to gain control over that data and put new and expanding legal rights to work for you.

Dan

Thanks for doing this keeping people's lives somewhat private. I never realized how much you put yourself out there for the WORLD to see and learn about you. I will recommend [sic] this it's to ALL my families and friends.

Jannis

Thank you so much. I will be with your company as long as I am alive because I am tired and shocked about the Abuse of all this Brokers. They show no respect for Individuals' Right to privacy, and sometimes they act showing a reckless, illegal and dangerous behavior. I am so happy with your Company and service.

Angelina

Hi, I am very happy with the ultimate service. I got it on sale for $199, a bargain for what's offered.

Bert

Hello, Thank you so much for your help. [...] Your help has really relieved me emotionally and I can't thank you enough and plan on continuing my relationship with you. I recommend your service everyday to people. Thank you again so much and God Bless.

Pamela

Hello, First, I would like to say, I signed up for Optery earlier this month and I have been absolutely pleased with the service and recommending it to coworkers and friends. [...]

Justin

If you want your personal information wiped off the internet, this is the company to use. The object is to search for yourself and finding nothing about you. They do a thorough job and then keep monitoring your name and personal info monthly to make sure you don't reappear. Great company.

Gary

Big fan of Optery! It makes it easy to remove your info from various people databases, and I've already noticed less spam (mail, phone calls, etc...) since I started using. Keep up the good work!

Joseph

Optery is a great service for managing one's personal data exposure. I was concerned that my email, phone #, and home address were easily accessible on hundreds of sites, and Optery made it easy to remove that information from every major database. I feel much more comfortable knowing my privacy is protected on an ongoing basis.

Joe

Terrific company that cares about its customers. Optery has helped me remove my personal details and address from over 150 data brokers. When I have questions their team is right there to help. Great people and service!

Matthew

[...] you guys are abviously working! I can hardly find my name anywhere on google at all! looks like you all kneading data brokers [...] thanks for this service!

Brent

Thank you for all that you do. You are helping lives and giving identity back to the rightful owner. Bless you for your work and your service to the people. I wish more people could afford it or knew more about this work and your organization. It took me a while to know what to even look for, that led me down the path of finding your service for clean up on aisle "theft". YOUR cyber security work, to clean up identity fraud and compromised Cyber Security for people is greatly needed. The mess of fraud and scams to reclaim is tiresome for people. Thank you for taking over. I am exhausted and FTC can only handle so much of this, there is no time to delete all the data "theft shoppers for identity" to steal, while also monitoring for the FTC as a government agency. So, thank you. Only regret is had I not found you sooner.

Shandeya

Dear Optery Team, I write to you today as a satisfied user of your Ultimate plan, having spent a little over a month under the secure umbrella of your services. Optery has already been a literal firewall in my life and I feel it's important to share my experience for others to understand the value of what you offer. [...] The reason, I firmly believe, was Optery. Your service had acted as an invisible barrier, shielding my personal information from data brokers and unwanted exposure. It's a chilling thought, contemplating what could have occurred had my information been easily accessible. The sense of security I've gained from knowing my personal details are now secure and not readily available online cannot be overstated. I cannot express enough how much this has improved my peace of mind. Your service has been nothing short of exceptional, especially in terms of the protection level it has provided me. Optery has effectively scrubbed my personal data from prying eyes, instilling a sense of control and safety in my day-to-day online interactions. It is a relief to know that I am not easily found or targeted in the vast web of digital information. Thank you for providing such a crucial service. Your dedication to privacy and security has already made a tangible difference in my life. I will be recommending Optery to others who may be faced with similar concerns or simply seek to control their digital footprints.

Ray

Hi there, Happy Optery premium customer here! I'm really impressed with your service. Optery has covered most of the data brokers I wanted info removed from, and I've worked through a few custom removals issues.

Kelly

The service is absolutely fantastic. I have been telling my friends and family to sign up because of how easy y'all make it.

Frequently Asked
Questions

How do I modify, cancel or pause my subscription and billing?
Optery provides complete control over your subscription and billing. If you have any trouble updating your billing or subscription on your own, just email us at support@optery.com and we’ll help you right away.

Upgrades & Downgrades: If you want to upgrade or downgrade your plan, or change from monthly to yearly, you can do so from this page you’re on right now. Just click the “Monthly” or “Yearly” and “Upgrade” or “Downgrade” buttons above and follow the prompts. There’s no reason to cancel your plan to make changes.

Pause Billing: You can pause your subscription and billing at any time by navigating to your Account page, scrolling down and clicking the button to “Pause Subscription”.

Cancellation: You can cancel your plan from this page you’re on right now by downgrading to the “Free Basic” plan, or by navigating to your Account page, scrolling down and clicking the button to “Cancel Subscription”. After your paid plan is cancelled, all future billing will stop, but your plan will remain active for the remainder of your billing term, and then will downgrade automatically to the Free Basic tier AFTER your billing term ends so you receive the value of your last subscription payment.

Stop Auto-Renew: By default, Optery’s subscriptions auto-renew at the end of your billing term (i.e. Monthly or Yearly). Simply cancel your plan at any time using the instructions above to stop the auto-renew process. After your paid plan is cancelled, all future billing will stop, but your plan will remain active for the remainder of your billing term, and then will downgrade automatically to the Free Basic tier AFTER your billing term ends so you receive the value of your last subscription payment.

You can learn more about our billing and payments options on our Help Desk section on Billing & Payments.
How does your money back guarantee work?
If you are not satisfied with your purchase, within 30 days of your first the purchase cancel your account and then send your refund request to support@optery.com and your refund will be processed within 5 – 10 business days. Once your refund is processed, your Optery subscription service will discontinue immediately and your account will automatically be downgraded to Free Basic. More details on the refund process can be found on our Help Desk here.
How can I resolve a billing error or discrepancy I have found?
Billing errors are rare as we have an advanced system configured to automatically handle upgrades, downgrades, paused subscriptions, and cancellations. That said, we take the accuracy of your payments and billing very seriously, so if you feel you’ve found an error or have any questions about your billing or payments, please send us an email at support@optery.com and we’ll investigate and resolve it right away.
After upgrading, how long does it take for my profiles to be removed?
Some data brokers comply within 24 hours, while others take several weeks, and sometimes months to comply. Each case is unique, but rest assured we are doing our best to streamline the process for you. To set the proper expectations, and in full transparency, getting hundreds of data brokers to comply with opt out requests is a “whack-a-mole” game that is often never-ending. It is highly unlikely that within a few weeks or months ALL instances of your information will be deleted. If that is your expectation, we recommend not using our service as we don’t want you to be disappointed. Customer satisfaction and the security of your data are always our top priorities. That said, Optery is very effective at removing the vast majority of exposed profiles on an ongoing basis, and the vast majority of Optery customers are extremely pleased with the results.
Will Optery completely stop all of my robo calls and email spam?
No. Optery is not an “off” switch for unwanted email spam and robo calls. Many Optery customers report a dramatic decrease in the volume of unwanted email and phone calls, but this is not the specific function of the product. Instead, the primary purpose of Optery is to protect your privacy by removing you data broker sites posting your personal information on the internet. By removing you from these sites, we take your information like home address, phone number, email, and family members’ names out of circulation reducing your attack surface area by bad actors. Optery is part of a wholistic security and privacy approach that reduces your profile online and makes you a more difficult target to attack.
What type of sites does Optery NOT cover?
Optery only removes from data brokers and people search sites, most of which are listed on your Dashboard.

Optery does NOT cover general web sites like blogs, news sites, celebrity sites, community web sites, personal web sites, discussion boards, forum web sites, pornography sites, wiki sites, photo sites, video sites, computer programming web sites, legal records sites, documents posted online (e.g. PDFs, TXTs), or social media sites like LinkedIn, Pinterest, Facebook, Snap, TikTok, Twitter, etc.

Optery does NOT remove information from the Dark Web and does Not currently provide Dark Web scanning or reporting. Removing your personal information from the Dark Web is impossible as it is usually placed there by hackers, scammers, spammers, and criminals illegally – and there’s nothing you can do to remove it – which is partly why it’s referred to as the Dark Web.

If you need information removal from sites that Optery does not cover, then Optery is not the right solution for you.
Will Optery be able to remove all of my information from the internet?
No, in the majority of cases, Optery will not be able to remove all of your information from the Internet.

Firstly, Optery only covers data broker and people search web sites, so by definition, Optery will not remove your information from other types of sites like blogs, news sites, discussion boards, wiki sites, photo sites, legal records sites, or social media sites like LinkedIn, Pinterest, or Facebook.

Furthermore, Optery’s Terms of Service state: “Optery will use good faith, reasonable efforts to provide the Removal Services, but there is no guarantee or warranty of any kind that third-parties will honor or comply with the opt out, data deletion, do not sell, do not share, suppression or removal requests and it is not possible for Optery, Inc. to remove 100% of your personal information from the Internet, or even from all of the data brokers and information aggregators in each Removal List.”

Optery is able to remove the vast majority of it, but inevitably there are data brokers that may refuse to comply with our requests, data brokers that change their opt out processes causing us trouble, profiles that pop back up and re-populate over time, and the reality is that unfortunately our opt out software is not 100% perfect at this time. This is why most of our customers choose to keep the subscription running on an ongoing basis, to employ our service on a consistent basis.

If you do encounter sites that have mistakenly been marked “Removed / Not Found” when they are still present, or data broker sites not currently covered by the Ultimate plan, you can submit these sites via our Removals Issues and Custom Removals submission forms.

Not withstanding the above, the vast majority of Optery customers are very happy with their results.
How does Optery opt out on my behalf?
Optery reaches out to multiple data brokers on your behalf and automatically submits your opt out requests to remove your Personal Identifiable Information (PII) from their website. We use a “humans + machines” approach that combines the most advanced automated opt out technology with hands-on expert human privacy agents to deliver maximum removals compared to any other service in the industry. This is one of the reasons why Optery has won the coveted “Editors’ Choice” award by PCMag.com in 2022, 2023 and 2024 as the most outstanding personal data removal product on the market, and was named a winner in the Security and Privacy category for Fast Company’s 2023 Next Big Things in Tech awards, and named winner in the Employee Privacy Protection, Attack Surface Management, and Digital Footprint Management categories of the 2024 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards.
How do your Family plans and family plan discounts work?
You can learn all about how Optery for Family works on our Help Desk here.
What are the main differences between different plan tiers?
The primary differences between the Core, Extended, and Ultimate plans are related to the data brokers each plan covers, and the availability of unlimited Custom Removals. You can scroll to the section titled Need Help Choosing a Plan? on our Pricing page for full details on which data brokers each plan covers, and the differences between each plan, or you can visit our Help Desk post covering the differences between plans. To summarize:

Free Basic Plan – free quarterly exposure reporting and self-service tools

Core Plan – low-cost, no frills, plan for ongoing basic coverage

Extended Plan – best value plan

Ultimate Plan – most comprehensive coverage, our most popular plan
