Optery
Opt out software that removes your private info from the internet
If you are part of Optery (or you are a YC founder who looks at Optery and thinks that is the kind of business I run), you probably do not have time for a six-month SEO agency contract. Seoable was built for that. Audit your site, queue 100 ready-to-publish posts, and run it all from your AI assistant.
About Optery
Optery is automated opt out software, and we serve individuals, families and businesses. With Optery, you can remove yourself from hundreds of data brokers that are posting and selling your home address, phone number, email and other private information on the internet. Optery received the “Editors’ Choice” award by PCMag as the most outstanding product in the personal data removal category in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards for Attack Surface Management, Digital Footprint Management, and Employee Privacy Protection in 2024 and 2025, Cyber Defense Magazine’s Top InfoSec Innovator and Best Attack Surface Management awards in 2024 and 2025, the 2025 Fortress Cybersecurity Award for Privacy Enhancing Technologies, and Fast Company’s Next Big Things in Tech award for security and privacy in 2023. In 2025, Optery was also listed by Business Insider as one of 30 early-stage startups most likely to become a unicorn. Optery prevents phishing and social engineering, identity theft and fraud, online stalking and harassment, ransomware, doxxing, and prevents people's private information from showing up in Google search results. Anyone can create a free account to receive a personalized Exposure Report with live screenshots summarizing where your information is being posted and sold online. Optery then provides free tools for self-service removals, or you can upgrade to a paid plan, and Optery will remove the profiles for you. Optery for Business serves enterprises removing personal information from the internet for their employees and executives, and offers an API enabling application developers to embed data broker scanning and removal technology into their applications.
