No change

I patiently waited six months to see if there would be a decrease in the number of emails I received that were from mailing lists and were unsolicited. There has been no change. Every morning I check my emails and there are approximately 25 spam messages.

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for sharing this and for your patience over the past six months. We hear you on the spam. Just to clarify: Optery removes your info from data broker and people search sites, which can reduce spam over time. But if the spam is coming from a source outside our coverage, we won't be able to stop that specific source, we can only act on the brokers we track. Check out https://www.optery.com/reducing-spam-texts-and-calls/ for extra tips on cutting down spam beyond removals. Feel free to reach out to support@optery.com if you need more details..

Not forthcoming in limitations

I specifically selected this app on the suggestion that it could do custom data site removals. Well, it can -- but only after a month when your trial is over! It's not plain at all and I feel misled. Will not be renewing for a second month.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. Our Ultimate Plan includes Custom Removals, which allows our team to submit best-effort removal requests for certain data brokers that are not part of our standard coverage. Custom Removals do have some limitations, including eligibility and timing requirements, since each request needs to be reviewed and may depend on the specific website involved. You can learn more about how Custom Removals work here: https://help.optery.com/en/article/ultimate-plan-offers-best-effort-removals-for-unsupported-data-brokers-through-custom-removals-requests-lchi5e/ We appreciate the feedback and will continue looking for ways to make these limitations clearer.

Thank you!!

When I requested my free scan, it came back with 368 data broker listings! I’ve been using the service for awhile now, and they just emailed me an updated report. They’ve gotten it all the way down to 39! And it looks like several of those are new data brokers that they just founded!

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing this. We’re glad to hear the progress and that your exposure has dropped significantly. New data brokers do come up over time, and we’ll keep working to remove those as well. We appreciate you sticking with us.

Do better

I was planning to renew my annual subscription, this time, but I’m very disappointed that I didn’t get a reminder email before it just happened. VERY shady behavior from any company, but even worse considering your line of business. Overall, service seems to work OK, but I’ll set my own reminder for the next renewal and probably look at alternatives.

Had a massive drop in phone calls and spamming after 2 months of paying for Optery
