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 Report in the table toolbar. An export configuration modal will open.


Step 3: Configure your export:

  • Members: Select the members.
  • Status filter: Filter by a specific removal status. Default is All.
  • Group: Optionally filter by a member group.


Step 5: Click Generate Export. A confirmation message will appear indicating the export is being processed.

Step 6: 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.

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.
  • In Progress: The opt-out request is being processed.
  • Removed: The profile has been removed, or was not found 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.
