Why Europe is different
US services were built to remove you from people search sites like Spokeo and Whitepages, which publish your address for anyone to look up. Those sites mostly don't list Europeans. In Europe your data sits with sales databases (ZoomInfo, Apollo, Lusha), ad data companies, address traders and credit bureaus. The tool that works there is a GDPR request, which every company that holds data on people in the EU must answer within a month. HenryProtect sends those requests in your name, sends the reminders, and keeps your data stored in the EU (Frankfurt).
Where Optery is stronger
We'd rather you pick the right service than the wrong one, so here is where Optery has the edge:
- Screenshots of each listing before and after removal, so you can see the proof.
- 380+ to 625+ sites depending on plan, 940+ with custom removals, strong in the US.
HenryProtect is newer and has no audit yet, and our list of US people search sites is smaller. If you live in Europe, those matter less than who your data is actually with.
Already paying for Optery?
You don't have to cancel anything to see the difference. Run our free scan: it takes about two minutes, and it shows where your data is, which leaks your email is in, and your risk score. Then decide.
We do this for you. You don't have to do anything.
- Autopilot sends the request to every company we find, plus dozens of other data brokers that likely hold your data.
- We send the reminders, handle the replies and keep track of the one-month deadline.
- We rescan you every week. If your data comes back, we send a new request.
- All you do is enter your name, confirm your email and give us permission. Free during the beta.
