Optery

Optery (operating at optery.com) is a data privacy platform engineered for individuals seeking to reclaim control over their digital footprint. Founded in 2020 by Lawrence Gentilello and Chen Atlas, and headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, Optery specializes in removing personal information from online databases and search engines—addressing the growing concern of digital oversharing and unauthorized data exposure. Under the hood, the platform leverages automated tools and compliance-driven processes to systematically identify and request the deletion of sensitive data from public records, directories, and search results. This allows users to minimize privacy risks, reduce identity theft vulnerabilities, and regain autonomy over their online presence. Backed by $3.0 million in funding across a single round, Optery has positioned itself as a leading U.S.-based solution in the data removal space.
