How does the Postpone Scan feature work for new signups

Postpone Scan lets you delay your first free scan for up to 24 hours, so you have more time to add details to your profile before it runs.

Why it helps

When you sign up for Optery's Free Basic plan, we run a free scan and send you an Exposure Report. The more details you add to your profile, the better we can find profiles that match you. Learn more about why Optery asks for this information.

Postpone Scan gives you extra time to add optional details, like past addresses, phone numbers, or relatives, before your first scan starts.

How to use it

After signing up, you'll see a countdown showing when your scan will start.
Click Postpone Scan before the countdown ends.
Add any extra details to your profile.
Your scan will start automatically once the postponed time is up (up to 24 hours).

Scan In Progress

You can postpone for up to 24 hours maximum. You must click Postpone Scan before your scan starts. Once the scan has begun, it can't be postponed.

Need help?

If you don't see your scan results after the scheduled time, just chat with us or email support@optery.com and our team will be happy to take a look.
