Optery

Optery scans more than 100 data brokers for your name, address, phone, and email, then files removal requests on your behalf and re-files them as brokers re-add your record through the year. You get an Exposure Report showing every site that's been listing you, with screenshots and a dashboard that tracks each removal as it clears.

What Optery actually does

You hand over the personal details you want hidden — name, addresses, phone numbers, emails — and Optery searches the data-broker sites that aggregate and resell that information. The dashboard shows what was found, what's been opted out, and what's been re-listed.

• Scans 100+ data brokers, including InstantCheckmate, TruthFinder, Spokeo, Intelius, MyLife, WhitePages, and FreePhoneTracer
• Customised Exposure Report with screenshots of the 50-80 sites currently listing your info
• Opt-out requests filed on your behalf and re-filed multiple times per year as brokers re-add records
• Removal progress shown live on the dashboard
• Optery-managed private email addresses so your real address is never handed to a broker
• Optional multi-factor authentication on the account
• Does not sell data and is not affiliated with any data broker

How it fits in your stack

Data-broker removal is the kind of task most people start manually and abandon after two evenings, because brokers re-list you constantly and a one-pass removal isn't the win it sounds like. Optery's pitch is to do the work in the background and then keep doing it. Compared to DeleteMe or Kanary, it's the one that consistently shows up on review-site shortlists for raw broker coverage — the Ultimate plan widens the source list further and runs removals at a quicker cadence than Core.

Who it's built for

If your name has ever shown up on a free people-search site, or if your role makes you a target for phishing and SIM-swap attempts, this is the kind of subscription that pays for itself the first time you don't get doxxed. It's also worth running for a partner, parent, or older relative who'd never do this manually — Optery is backed by Y Combinator and headquartered in the United States, which makes the compliance trail a little less scary than a cheaper offshore alternative.

• Anyone whose name has been searched by a hiring manager, ex, or stalker
• Professionals reducing phishing and SIM-swap surface area
• Households setting up privacy for a partner or parent who won't do it themselves

The deal

Two tiers are on offer: the Core Plan at $49 (regularly $120.88), covering the 100+ broker baseline, and the Ultimate Plan at $199 (regularly $299.88), with broader source coverage and quicker removal cadence. [Grab the deal on StackSocial](https://grabltd.com/recommends/optery/).
