# How to Export PII Removal Status Reports for Your Organization Members

Optery for Business Administrators can generate a CSV export of the PII removal status for one or more organization members. The export is processed asynchronously and delivered via a secure, time-limited download link sent to your email.
### Who Can Use This Feature
This feature is available to **Administrators** on Optery for Business accounts.
### How to Generate an Export
**Step 1:** Log in to your Optery for Business account and go to **Manage Members**.
**Step 2:** Click **Export ->** **Export Removal Status Report** in the table toolbar. An export configuration modal will open.

**Step 3:** Configure your export:
* **Members:** Select the members.
* **Request Status:** Filter by a specific removal status. Default is **All**.
* **Filter by group:** filter by a member group.

**Step 4**: Click **Create PII Status Report**. A confirmation message will appear indicating the export is being processed.
**Step 5**: Check your email. Once the file is ready, you will receive an email with a **secure download link**. The link expires **48 hours** after it is generated.
### What's Included in the Export
Each row represents one data broker profile for one member. If a member's removal status changed over time at a given data broker, multiple rows will appear for that combination — one per status change.
| Column | Description |
| ---- | ---- |
| **Organization Member Name** | Full name of the member |
| **Data Broker Name** | Name of the data broker |
| **Data Broker Homepage URL** | Homepage URL of the data broker |
| **PII Summary** | General categories of personal data that data broker is known to collect |
| **Opt-Out Status** | Removal status recorded. 1 line per removal status |
| **Status Updated At** | Date the status was last updated (format: YYYY-MM-DD) |
| **Profile Link** | Direct URL to the data broker listing where the member's data was detected. Available for profiles in **Found** status only. |
| **Screenshot URL** | Expiring link to the exposure screenshot, if one is available. Expires **90 days** after the export is generated. Empty if no screenshot exists for that profile. |

###### Opt-Out Status values
* **Found:** The member's data was detected at this data broker.
* **Submitted:** An opt-out request has been submitted.
* **Removed:** The profile has been removed, or was not found at this data broker.
* **Not Found:** The member's data was not detected (at this time) at this data broker.
### Important Notes
* The export is processed asynchronously. The file is delivered by email only.
* The download link expires **48 hours** after it is generated. After expiration, the link will no longer work. You can generate a new export at any time.
* Screenshot URLs in the export expire **90 days** after the export is generated.
* The export does not aggregate data. Each row represents a single status event, allowing you to track status changes over time and calculate metrics across periods.
