I used Onerep until I was told it was shady. I now use Optery (https://www.optery.com/) which is a YC company. I'd love to hear if there are any issues with it.

The problem is there are 200+ data brokers out there and I don't have time to deal with that many.

Optery has been flagging the conflict of interest between OneRep and Nuwber for years and put a statement out with our position following the Krebs article:

Kanary is a grant recipient from YC and does data deletion as well. Main difference from Optery is simplicity of the tiers (there is only 1 premium tier that covers all sites + hands on support). While Optery's b2b tooling is more built out than ours.

We have a 'downgrade to a free tier' option if you are paying and want to take a break from the service. We delete all data if you decide to cancel, but you can join back any time. If it's not clear from the username, I'm on the team.

Why is it monthly? What happens if you don’t renew?

Yeah I have the same concern. Are there any better options, short of hiring a human secretary, which I don't have the money for?

My first priority is not having my personal info listed on the internet; ethics of where my money is going is second.

Yeah, I saw when they announced on here, I think.

One question: Do you know if they pay the data brokers a percentage?

I have no idea. I hope not.

They submit opt-out removals though, so one would think that if they paid the data broker they would not have to go through that trouble?
