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.

I absolutely love the extensive services that Optery has to offer and the screen shot verification of removal of my sensitive, personal data is even more peace of mind. I've tried several similar services, and Optery is by far one of the absolute best. Their customer service is top notch as well.

Thank you for sharing your experience and we’re sorry to hear about the frustration you’ve had.
When it comes to unwanted calls and messages, Optery helps remove personal information from people-search and data broker sites that may be contributing to that exposure. If those calls or messages are coming from information obtained through sites where we’ve completed removals, reducing that exposure may help reduce unwanted contact over time. However, spam can also come from other sources that are outside of Optery’s removal process.
We’d like to review your account directly to verify the cancellation date, billing details, and refund request, as well as review the removals completed on your account and better understand the concerns you raised about the increase in unwanted calls.
We’ve requested your contact information through Trustpilot so we can locate your account and investigate this further. 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.
We appreciate the opportunity to review your account and address your concerns directly.

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! Try or subscribe to Optery if you want a clear, evidence-based approach to taking back control of your personal information online. Their screenshot proof, ongoing monitoring, and genuinely useful free option easily make them a top-tier privacy tool. To put a stop to the endless spam and annoying calls, go with Optery—you'll be so happy you did!

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.

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.
