How Opt-Outta Works
A desktop app that automates the tedious process of removing your personal information from data broker websites.
Create your profile
Enter the personal details that data brokers may have on file — your name, email, phone, address. This profile is stored locally on your machine and never transmitted anywhere.
Sync brokers and playbooks
The app downloads the latest list of supported data brokers and community-created playbooks from our registry API. Playbooks are step-by-step automation scripts reviewed and signed by our team.
Run playbooks
Pick a broker and run its playbook. The app follows the steps — navigating to opt-out pages, filling forms with your profile data, and submitting removal requests. You can watch it work in real time.
Complete verification
Some brokers send a confirmation email or text. The app flags which opt-outs need manual verification so you can quickly confirm them.
Privacy Architecture
100% Local Processing
Your personal data never leaves your computer. All form filling and browser automation runs locally.
No Tracking
We don't collect analytics, telemetry, or usage data. The app only communicates with our registry API to fetch broker definitions.
Open Source
Every line of code is publicly auditable. You can verify exactly what the app does before running it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Opt-Outta really free?
Yes, Opt-Outta is free and open source software. We accept donations to support ongoing development but the app is fully functional without paying.
How long does a full opt-out run take?
A typical run across all brokers takes 15-30 minutes. The app handles each broker sequentially to avoid triggering rate limits.
Will my data reappear after opting out?
Some brokers re-collect and relist data over time. The broker profiles show estimated relist timelines, and you can re-run playbooks periodically to stay protected.
What platforms are supported?
Opt-Outta runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. See the download page for specific system requirements.
