Optery is very thorough, going state-by-state to remove your information where you might not have thought to look. I would have kept the plan if I could have afforded it. I can't right now, but I do... See more

The absolute best. I had used others who have nowhere near the clout Optety has and thus was not expecting the great results. I was exposed everywhere and now I’m not. They are worth every penny.

Great service, easy to use, and I think a valuable tool in getting your data removed from all of these data brokerage sites. It's shocking how many places had my info.

Great service!
Easy to use. Reasonably priced. Easy to cancel.
They have done a great job removing my data from the internet. Took about 4 months to remove most of it.
I would recommend most people use this service occasionally.

Very pleased with Optery's effectiveness

I've been using Optery since August 2024 and have been VERY pleased with the results. Currently my open / exposed profiles are 7, which is a huge drop from when I had first started. So in about 4 months Optery was able to get me removed from just about everywhere! Not to mention that there were a handful of data brokers that reposted my information, within weeks after the initial removal, but Optery quickly caught on and restarted the removal process.

I'm especially pleased with Optery's Custom Removal process, which was able to remove me from a web listing that was impossible for me to do myself previously. That's because this particular website's "opt out tool" didn't work. There was also no contact information available nor was there a 'contact us' web form to submit questions or feedback. I even used the Google webmaster message tool twice to send an E-Mail plea to the owner, but of course I never received a response.

My data removal and privacy journey started back in 2015 when I was learning how much of my information was leaked on the web. I spent a few years manually removing myself from dozens of websites, which was tiring. In 2023 I used a data removal service for the first time and wasn't really happy with the results (after about 9 months). Thankfully I gave it another try and instead decided to use Optery this time around (after researching other companies).

To the entire Optery team:
Thank You for your hard work and commitment!

Reduced Spam Emails, Reduced 150 to 23 listings

Optery has proven remarkably effective at protecting my personal information online. When I first used their service, I was shocked to discover over 150 data broker listings containing my sensitive information - including details I never expected to be public, such as my car's VIN number. Within months, they successfully reduced these listings from 150 to just 23.

What sets Optery apart is their thorough documentation process. They provide screenshots from each data broker's website showing the removal progress, saving me countless hours of individually verifying removals. This transparency gives me confidence that they're actively working on my behalf.

The results have been tangible: I've experienced a significant decrease in spam emails and unsolicited sales calls. The service has been so effective that I've recommended it to several friends, all of whom have reported similar positive experiences. For anyone concerned about their digital privacy, Optery delivers real results with impressive transparency.

Optery cares for their disabled customers.

I am mentally disabled and this makes it difficult for me to accomplish tasks. Not only has Optery’s service helped calm my disabilities their work has made me feel much safer physically and mentally. They understand the needs of their disabled customers and will work expeditiously with them to reach a result that is well suited for the customer. I highly recommend Optery. I have used other sites that offer the same service and Optery is by far the best choice for not only finding but eliminating profiles with your information online. Thank you Optery for all you do! -Michael

So much better than Incogni!

So much better than Incogni and other competitors! The quarterly PDF "removal progress report" provides AMAZING visibility into what exactly they're actually doing, and even showed me that my personal info was being listed on many lookup-sites that I didn't even know existed! The Optery system uses screenshots in their reports to really show you first hand what information about you is out there, and then after their removal, demonstrates that it no longer shows up. Now that's a great service!

Optery has given me my life back.

I have been using OPtery for several months and am pleased with the results.
I tried another removal service, which was less effective than Optery.
I highly recommend the service.

Great staff, great service

At first, like most people I guess, I started out with basic service. Then I upgraded to the Ultimate and seems like a good choice. But the best experience was when I changed email address and phone number both Zaira & Amelia (probably different shifts!) were EXCELLENT at "fixing" my login credentials so I could keep on rolling with my account! And so far I'm disappearing from the web so this is a great thing to have!

Fantastic Service!

I want to express my appreciation for Optery, a service focused on helping users remove personal information from the internet. From the moment I enrolled, I was struck by Optery's effectiveness in locating and eliminating our personal data across various online platforms. The process was simple, and I quickly observed a notable decrease in the sensitive information available about my family online.

What truly impressed me was the overall positive experience we had. The user interface was intuitive, making it easy to navigate. I found it refreshing how accessible the different features were for managing our online presence without any complications.

Another standout aspect was Optery's support system. Whenever I had inquiries, they responded promptly and ensured all my concerns were addressed, even following up afterward! Such dedicated customer service is a rarity and deserves commendation.

In all, my experience with Optery has been overwhelmingly positive from start to finish. Its effectiveness in removing personal information, user-friendly design, and exceptional customer support makes me wholeheartedly recommend this service to anyone looking to improve their online privacy. Thank you, Optery, for making this process so seamless!
