Adding Linkedin URL and Company Name to Your Profile For More Comprehensive Removals

Adding your LinkedIn URL and the companies you've worked for helps us find and remove more of your profiles from data brokers. This information is optional, but highly recommended for professionals.

Why it helps

Many people share similar names, so extra details like your LinkedIn URL and employer history help us match the right profiles to you. We may also share this information with some data brokers so they can confirm the correct record to remove.

Note: Optery does not cover Linkedin for scans or removals and does not make any attempt to connect to your Linkedin account or to opt you out of Linkedin whatsoever. Optery only removes your personal information from the data broker sites we cover listed here and those you submit via Custom Removals. Interactions with Linkedin are beyond the scope of Optery's service.

How to add your LinkedIn URL and companies

Go to Manage Profile and click the Addt'l Info tab, or use this direct link: https://app.optery.com/profile?tab=addtl-info
Under LinkedIn, paste your LinkedIn profile URL and click Save. Not sure where to find it? Here's how to find your LinkedIn profile URL.
Under Companies You've Worked For, type a company name and click Add.
If it's your current employer, tick I'm currently working here before clicking Add. It will appear under Current company.
Repeat step 3 for each previous employer. They'll appear under Previous companies.

How to update or remove your LinkedIn URL

To update it: Delete the current URL in the LinkedIn field, paste your new URL, and click Save.
To remove it: Delete the URL from the LinkedIn field, leave it blank, and click Save.

How to update or remove a company

Click the ⋮ menu next to the company, then choose:

Set as previous company to move your current employer to your previous companies list (for example, if you've changed jobs).
Remove to delete the company from your profile.

Important information

You can only select one current employer at this time. Support for multiple current employers is planned for the future.
As stated in our Privacy Policy, Optery is not a data broker and does not sell or rent your personal data to any third party.
