Written by the company
With Optery, you can remove yourself from hundreds of data brokers that are posting and selling your home address, phone number, email and other private information on the internet. Optery serves both consumers and businesses. Optery was awarded "Editors' Choice" by PCMag.com as the most outstanding product in its category for three years in a row in 2022, 2023, and 2024, and Fast Company awarded Optery the "Next Big Things in Tech" for Security and Privacy in 2023. Optery prevents phishing and social engineering, identity theft and fraud, online stalking and harassment, doxxing, and prevents people's private information from showing up in Google search results. Anyone can create a free account to receive a personalized Exposure Report with live screenshots summarizing where your information is being posted and sold online. Optery then provides free tools for self-service removals, or you can upgrade to a paid plan, and Optery will remove the profiles for you.

I've used optery for a few months to help remove my information from over 300 data broker websites.
It quickly and drastically reduced the number of spam phone calls I receive, a welcome relief.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear that Optery has helped reduce your exposure across hundreds of data broker sites and, even better, that you’ve noticed a significant drop in spam calls. That’s exactly the kind of real-world impact we hope to provide. We really appreciate your support!
Finally, real privacy protection that actually works!
I love Optery and have been using them for several years now. They never fail to impress!

Thank you so much for being with Optery for several years and for sharing this.
Our goal is to make privacy protection clear, transparent, and easy to follow, so we’re especially glad the screenshot proof and ongoing monitoring have been helpful to you. We truly appreciate your continued trust and support!
Not great at removal at all.
I've been a customer since Oct 2025 force one year membership, so at the time of this writing its been nearly 9 months, At this time you would think some of the spam calls, and text have reduced but sadly no it has not, and the dashboard still shows PENDING removal for about 25%+ of the sites available. Save your money and go with a different product!

Thank you for sharing your experience.
When we help customers with removals from data broker sites, the goal is to reduce online exposure over time. Spam calls and texts can come from many different sources, so removals do not always result in an immediate reduction in unwanted contact.
We’d also like to take a closer look at the removals that are still showing as Pending on your dashboard and confirm the current status of those requests. We’ve requested your contact information through Trustpilot so we can locate your account and review the progress in more detail.
You can also reach us directly at support@optery.com with the email address associated with your account, and we will prioritize reviewing your case.
We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to review your account and address your concerns properly.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for trusting Optery over the past year! Our goal is to make data removal easier and continue working in the background so you don’t have to manage it all yourself. We’re glad to hear the service has been helpful, and we truly appreciate your support and five-star review.
Outstanding service! Optery has made a huge difference since launching in South Africa
A huge shout-out to Optery and their whole team! Your service is amazing: fast, professional, and thorough.
I also want to acknowledge Optery for expanding services to South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand on 18 March 2026. Before they launched here, we knew our data was being sold, but we had no reliable company to help us remove it.
If you haven't tried Optery yet, give them a shot. Highly recommended! I joined in April 2026, a month after the SA launch, and I haven't looked back. Try a free scan to see how many data brokers hold your personal information, then join and get your data removed.
I'd personally recommend going with the Ultimate tier. It covers custom removals for even the most stubborn data brokers, plus you get 24/7/365 support directly on their website.
Thank you, Optery, for the amazing work you do!

Since joining Optery
Since joining Optery, my robo calls have stopped. I ws getting six to ten a day, every day. Once subscribed, they have stopped. Been over six months. Money well spent. The amount of web sites that listed my personal information was totally unknown to me. Wow, there's a lot of companies that buy your information. Have even used their report marketers service to report the few companies that got through their scans. Best money I ever spent, just for a silent phone.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience has not met your expectations.
While removing personal information from data broker sites can help reduce online exposure and potential sources of unwanted contact, there are many other sources of spam calls and emails that fall outside of data broker removals.
We’d like to review your account directly to better understand the removals completed over the course of your subscription and your current exposure. We’ve requested your contact information through Trustpilot so we can locate your account and take a closer look.
You can also reach us directly at support@optery.com with the email address associated with your account, and our escalation team will prioritize reviewing your case.

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.

horrible experience with the website
horrible experience. after a year of ok service I got a notice that it would auto-renew. I did not want to do that. The links provided in the email did not work. I attempted to sign on to the website and was confronted with one of those GD gotcha screens with tiny blurry pictures that as a 78 year old I could not read nor enlarge. I am enraged by those and cancel any organization that uses them. I cant cancel my account because I cant sign into it. I tried resetting the password twice and both times it times out in less than 30 seconds, something I have never seen before. Customer service is only by email. We'll see if they will cancel it. Frankly the results they provided, about 50%, are not worth the hassle.

Reply from Optery
We're sorry the cancellation process was frustrating. That's not the experience we want you to have, and we'd like to help make this right.
If we're understanding correctly, the main thing you need is to cancel your account so it doesn't auto-renew. To get that sorted quickly, please email us at support@optery.com with the email address associated with your account, and our team can help you directly. (We've also requested your contact info via Trustpilot in case that's easier.)
We send the auto-renewal reminders so customers have a heads-up and the chance to make changes before being billed. The image verification step (CAPTCHA) is intended to protect accounts from unauthorized access. We understand that it adds friction and certainly don't want it to feel like a barrier.
We're sharing your feedback with our product team, since we want every part of the experience, including cancellation, to be as easy as possible. Please reach out when you can so our team can resolve this matter for you promptly. We appreciate you taking the time to flag this.

Removals don’t happen instantly. Each data broker has its own process and timeline, and some are known to be more difficult or slow to update. In some cases, profiles can also reappear, which is why we continuously monitor and re-submit removals while your plan is active.

Optery is thorough and methodical
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 recommend it for people who wish to guard their privacy, especially their physical location. They are methodical, and that helps me to feel a little bit safer in this world.

Even the $3.99 month option was very effective. Within one month's time so much of my information was removed. When I Google search for my name, the results are much cleaner and only show what I don't mind being public.
