**Optery** is a free scanning tool which will discover which people search sites have your personal information, provide you with a report of those sites, and link you directly to the self-service removal process to do manually. If you keep your account, the report will be updated quarterly. Optery also has paid plans available where they will submit opt-out requests automatically on your behalf.
