Optery provides a freemium opt-out service that scans hundreds of data brokers, delivers reports with deep links and screenshots, and offers paid monthly or yearly subscriptions to automatically opt users out and monitor reappearances. Its patented internal search engine and crawler evade data brokers' anti-bot protections to discover information other engines miss. Since launch about a year and a half ago, Optery's coverage has grown from roughly 150 sites to about 240. The company is positioning itself to build a broader data rights management platform that lets consumers dictate how companies may use their data, citing AI's growing appetite for data as a driver. Its product is used for general privacy protection and in sensitive cases, such as helping victims of domestic violence remove location traces. To pursue this roadmap Optery recently raised new seed funding, bringing total investment to $6 million.
