Lies! Lies! Lies!

They said sign up for a free account. So I did. Guess what? You have to upgrade and pay them money if you want to remove yourself from the lists. Yeah, you're not up front about that BEFORE I sign up, this is a no go. I immediately deleted my account created just 20 minutes ago. I'm tired of these greedy, lying, big tech companies nickel and diming us just to remove us from lists THEY sell us to! They say they won't, but they do. It's inevitable. Everything you do is monitored and sold to the highest bidder. I'm going to develop an app like this or Cloaked or whatever money hungry outfit out there who sells your info just to make you pay to get rid of the info, but they never do, it's still there, and I'm going to offer it for free. That should shut these businesses down who make a fortune to "remove" you from lists THEY sell you to. I'm tired of the fraud!

Response from developer

Hi , thank you for sharing this. We understand how frustrating it is to feel the pricing wasn’t clear before you signed up, and we take that feedback seriously. The free account lets you scan to see where your information is exposed, while the removals themselves are part of our paid plans. We take privacy very seriously, and we don’t sell your personal information. If you’d like to talk it through or have any questions about your account, our support team is happy to help through the in-app chat or the Help Center. Thank you again for the feedback.

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..

Portrait Mode only!

Given that it won’t do Landscape on an iPad, I’ve already deleted it and will use the browser interface which is more robust and works in any orientation.

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.

Scam

I had to change my credit card number after canceling this app because they kept billing me after canceling.
It’s also, impossible to contact customer service.
