Optery Reviews 198

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!

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!

Great service, easy to use

Hello! With some effort and using the links provided by Optery I was able to get my data removed manually myself!

Here is a quote from the Data Broker: "Your request to remove your information from the Intelius website, will be applied to the Public Data displayed on all people search sites owned by PeopleConnect including TruthFinder.com, Intelius.com, Instantcheckmate.com and USSearch.com."

Thanks for the info which allowed me to get this done on my own. Hopefully they won't add my data back!! Just wanted to give Optery props as I would not have been able to get this done without the data supplied by Optery! Fred Gerbig - A happy Optery customer!

Did what they said they'd do. Extremely satisfied.

As soon as i signed on to the service, the work on my provacy began. I stated seeing noticable resluts, notibly less spam phone calls.

Great service, removals were actioned on from day 1. I will continue to be a customer as long as they continue to provide top-notch service.

90% good, 10% scammy. Lots of removals come quickly at first, and then the longer it goes on, the slower they get, the fewer removals move to in-progress, and the fewer successful removals you experience. They are motivated to drag things out for as long as possible to keep collecting your 20 bucks a month for as long as they can. At this rate, I fully expect that final removal will come some time in 2036.

What removals they actually do perform in a timely manner, however, are effective and painless, and they do a decent job of telling you with reports where things stand. They provide links so you can see for yourself that you've been removed. Anecdotally, the number of unsolicited sales and recruiter calls I've received have dropped precipitously in the time I've been using their service. I just wish they didn't slow to a crawl to keep collecting my money every month.

Zaria, was super helpful and l will sign up for the website because of her understanding, knowledge and support!

This service has tremendously helped me to remove my personal information from the data brokers and search engines. I think their service is wonderful and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Good service

Outstanding customer service, which is hard to come by in today’s world. Thank you!!!!

So far it's been great. I search for my name and all I find is other people with the same name. Four months ago mine was all over the search results. Now I can even find it when digging. If it stays this good I'll be resubscribbing. Definitely worth the added safety with all of the cybercrime of today. I retired with almost 30 years in I.T, support at all levels. GET IT!

The firm provides feedback on the progress to date and gives details of the sites where exposures exists. This allows the user to do self-removals, which speeds up the process.

Optery found sites I never knew existed.
took me off many sites.
I'm cancelling my Gmail, which allowed all the junk mail and scams.

My data remains exposed on Over 55 data brokers sites despite paying for Optery's Ultimate Plan for over two years now, including giving them Power of Attorney for removals and reaching out to their customer support numerous times on the matter. Their service did manage to get my data off a few hundred sites but as my data remains exposed perpetually on dozens of public data sites, it seems irrelevant that Optery was able to remove some of it. It's worth noting that there are 2x more exposed data sites today (August 2025) than when I first posted this review at the one year mark (July 2024). So I've given them an extra year and ended up worse off. So it's hard not to confirm their removal promises are misleading or at best disappointing.

I've been an Optery customer for about 2 years. This company is a huge part of my peace of mind and quite literally, my physical safety. I'm a clinician, and it's vital that my physical address is hidden from unstable clients. Data brokers make this virtually impossible to do on my own. I found Optery after looking at comparison articles...and have never looked back. My digital footprint used to be out of control, even though I didn't use social media - my address was everywhere. It was a horrible feeling - and for me, quite literally unsafe. Within months of being with Optery, that changed dramatically, and 18 or so months later, there's no trace of me on the web. For me, this is security, this is peace of mind, this is freedom. Optery's customer support is fantastic, and they're also a highly ethical company - they regularly make statements when data broker stuff hits the news, and they stay clear of conflict-of-interest relationships with the data brokers. For me, being an Optery client is also voting with my hard earned money - I want companies that conduct themselves like Optery to thrive. In a wild west digital landscape that laws can't keep up with well, we need Optery's clear, strong ethics and efficacious protection very badly. I'm incredibly relieved to be their client. I've looked at the mediocre and poor reviews here and you can read Optery's responses for yourself. It seems to me the folks who are leaving less than 5 stars may not have enough information on how data removal works. It's not instant, and that's not because of Optery - Optery works as quickly as possible, using tools that are a lot stronger and more sophisticated than anyone else. Data brokers are pernicious and have their own process for letting go of your information; Optery has a system that requires them to let it go as quickly as possible and it takes time for the brokers to respond. That's not on Optery and any removal service encounters data broker resistance. If you don't want data broker resistance, we need to pressure our lawmakers. With Optery, you can trust them to stay on it and get the job done - think of it as a lawyer who goes to bat for you. There is no universe in which a lawyer wins a case within a few hours (though sometimes Optery does, and that's incredible). It's just a normal reality that it takes a little time. For me, that meant there was all the more reason to get Optery sooner rather than later and to let the company go to town on the data brokers throwing all my sensitive information out there. I couldn't be more glad I did.

Optery helps reduce your online data and footprint well for a process that takes too much time to do on your own. Technically, their free plan helps find the site locations for you to remove yourself, but where they make their money is working to contact, remove your data, and ensure it remains removed. Their dashboard excels in showing you their progress understandably and helpfully.
Even though I paid for a yearly plan, removing me from all the sites took a bit too long though. 6 months later I still have some removals in progress. Perhaps this is the norm in the industry.
