Optery was very professional and helpful!

Optery was very professional and provided me periodic updates on the progress on the removal of my information on sites. I started to receive less unwanted outside communication from unknown sources as more of my information was being removed from sites by Optery. I really appreciate their working hard to help me not have my information out for anyone to obtain.

Optery didn't delete my husbands data and continues to solicit me and won't stop

Optery didn't remove my husband's data, even though I paid for a family plan, this went on for 3 months. It took me a lot of time and frustration to sort this out. One customer service rep wanted me to pay more, then another rep found that my husband had been paid for. I found a much better site called Delete Me that gives you a customer service phone number, easy to sign up, and a trusted site for over 10 years with top reviews. 2 weeks later Optery continues to send me ads after being assured I am off their mailing list.

A healthy skeptic review

I tested the waters of Optery for several months before reviewing them. The verdict? They have very impressive data scrubbing services. I give them a 4 out of 5 cause NOTHING's perfect. But within 3 months, they've scrubbed my data from over a couple hundred data broker sites.

Not only that, but they email you monthly progress reports of the specific sites that your data's been removed from. You receive a before and after screenshot chart. You can easily proof their statements with a simple search engine check of your name. I chose the Ultimate package at sign up for maximum effect.

Obviously, many people have common full names. When you sign up, you can list a history of addresses, numbers, and household residents to be as precise as possible when they scrub the data. So far so great! Give them at least 90 days to work for a maximum effect.

Optery is doing a great job

Optery is doing a great job, erasing my footprints on the web and important information. Recently to companies gave me a "complementary" scan. One came up with only two results. One of the two was my ex. The other came up with 3 and I opted out with one.

Waste of money!

Waste of money. There is no way to verify that the actions they claim to take have actually been taken. I saw little to no apparent progress in 6 month's time, other than my account being charged right on time. They also charged me on the day of the new period after I had already cancelled and received confirmation weeks before. The dashboard looks fancy like they are doing all kinds of stuff, but it has not changed in months. My guess is the companies that are selling people's information are much smarter and more diligent than Optery is. They will never stop and Optery is no help.

Good so far. Necessary evil.

So far, after a few months, I've seen good success. I've seen a significant reduction in search returns and my footprint. The process takes time and is not a One-and-done because companies continue to sell or to transfer your information ... It takes maintenance, not a "bandaid" ... bandaids fall off. I'm convinced this is just one of many things we need to do to protect our families and assets.

They alert me constantly

I believe that they continually alert me to all the data brokers. They're very thorough and they've been excellent source of removing information that is fractured and inaccurate.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear the alerts have been helpful. Many listings contain fragmented or inaccurate information, and our focus is to find those and work on removing them over time. Since data brokers often repost information, ongoing monitoring and alerts are an important part of keeping your exposure as low as possible.

Not Happy with Results

I can’t say I am happy with their service I did a family service plan and only do I get a lot of junk mail still, I google myself and see my name everywhere and all my info. I am into my 2nd year with their service and if I see no improvement I will change next year.

Reply from Optery

Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how frustrating it can be to continue receiving junk mail and to still see your name and information appear in Google search results, especially after being on a family plan for some time.

When we help customers with data removals from data broker sites, our goal is to reduce online exposure and limit sources of spam and unwanted contact. However, removals are not instant. Data brokers frequently republish information, and changes reflected in Google search results can take additional time to update. In some cases, certain information may also fall outside the scope of what Optery is able to remove.

We’d like to review your account directly to better understand your current exposure and ensure removals are progressing as expected for you and your family members. We’ve requested your contact information through Trustpilot so we can confirm your account details. Once received, our escalation team will prioritize your case and follow up with a detailed review.

You may also reach us anytime at support@optery.com. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to address your concerns.

Optery is an excellent company that excels in keeping my data out of data brokers' hands. They also provide exceptional customer service when you have a question and respond quickly. They will also prorate your charges if you downgrade or upgrade during the cycle. They consistently keep me under 10% exposed online, which is very good because it’s a constant fight to keep your data private. Once one data broker has your data, it’s shared again with others. I am pleased with the 3 years I have used them, and I also added a family member to receive a discount.

Security at last.

I left Optery for a few months thinking that it didn't matter. However, once your connected, whether on the plan or not they just keep letting you know of your standing concerning parasites . And so I decided to commit myself to renewing my plan with no regrets, and allow myself to relax into their all knowing skills. I trust Optery. They are committed to me as I am now committed them. It's the right choice and it gives me the freedom to know that I am well taken care of.😉☺️🙋
