Optery Review by Dan G.

I’ve been working in the quant/systematic space at a hedge fund for ~12 years, so I know firsthand about the accelerating arms race among data aggregators to collect by often questionable means very sensitive and granular information. Optery solves this problem head-on. I’ve been impressed by how easy the product is to use, and how effective it’s been in removing my personal data from all over the web. I highly recommend it!

I was shocked by how many data brokers had my information and were selling it without my knowledge. Optery to the rescue. I’ve been impressed with how Optery automatically removes our household’s information from these databases, all without asking for a lot from me. Optery helps me sleep better at night. Big fan.

Recently I was the victim of identity theft and fraud. The criminals obtained detailed information about me from a people search directory, and then combined that with a fake ID to take out a line of credit and make purchases in my name. I spent weeks repairing the damage. I wish I started using Optery sooner.

I was extremely impressed with both the flow to get started, and the end result. Going to all of the 100+ sites manually and asking for my info to be removed would have taken me weeks of pain. Optery made it transparent and easy.

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’ve gotten my identity stolen before and it’s a royal pain to sort it out. Once, they even used my complete address for billing when fraudulently buying expensive electronics with my credit cards, and forged a fake ID to pickup the ordered stuff at the Apple store.
