Do Not share your personal email or pay any money to data brokers linked to from Optery

When you submit opt-out requests directly to data brokers, use a separate email address created only for opt-outs, and keep your personal email private. Opt-out requests are free, so there's no need to make any payment to a data broker. These two steps keep your primary inbox protected while you remove your information.

Why Optery Links to Data Broker Opt-Out Pages

Optery believes everyone should have a way to remove their information from data brokers, including at no cost. That's why our Self-Service Removal Tools in Free Basic link you directly to each data broker's opt-out page, so you can submit requests yourself.

Tip 1: Use a Dedicated Opt-Out Email Address

Contacting a data broker, even to request a removal, can result in your email being added to its marketing lists. A dedicated opt-out email keeps your primary inbox private.

How to set one up:

1. Create a new email account with any free provider, such as Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo.
2. Use it only for opt-out requests and any data broker communication.
3. Keep your primary email for the people and services you trust.

This address doesn't need to be anything special. It's simply an account you use for this purpose and keep separate from your personal email.

Tip 2: Opt Out at No Cost

Submitting an opt-out request is free. If a data broker site asks for payment, a subscription, or a fee to process your removal, you can skip that step and continue with the free opt-out process. Your Optery self-service links take you to the opt-out page for each site.

Let Optery Handle It for You

With a paid Optery plan, Optery takes care of all of this behind the scenes. We create and manage private email addresses for submitting your opt-outs, so your personal email stays private from the start and you never need to contact data brokers yourself.
