What are the Self-Service Removal Tools available in Free Basic?

Free Basic gives you Self-Service Removal Tools to find and remove your personal information from data broker sites on your own. From your Dashboard, you can view where your information may appear, see exactly what data is exposed, and access each data broker's opt out details. Optery also keeps scanning and sends you Exposure Reports so you stay informed.


These tools put you in charge of your privacy at no cost, with everything you need to submit opt out requests directly to each data broker.



Where to find your tools?

All of your Self-Service Removal Tools live in the Websites that expose personal information list on your Dashboard.
