Optery is automated opt out software. 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, and was awarded"Editors' Choice" by PCMag.com as the most outstanding product in its category for two years in a row in 2022 and 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.
