Personal data removal and privacy compliance automation for individuals and enterprises
Optery operates a data removal and privacy automation platform with a Python/Django backend running on Kubernetes across AWS, GCP, and Azure. The tech stack reveals a data-intensive operation: PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, and Cassandra for storage; Kafka and RabbitMQ for event streaming; Celery for task orchestration; and Puppeteer for web automation at scale. Active projects show heavy investment in generative AI integration and workflow automation, while pain points cluster around release predictability and scaling automated data removal—indicating Optery is solving for operational velocity as it expands broker coverage.
Optery removes personally identifiable information (home addresses, phone numbers, emails, and other sensitive data) from over 600 data broker sites. The platform serves both individual consumers and enterprise clients, offering monthly automated scans, evidence-based before-and-after reporting, and API integration options for large-scale deployments. The company completed AICPA SOC 2 Type II certification and operates a distributed engineering organization spanning Latin America, Eastern Europe, and the United States. Core capabilities include proprietary data broker scanning, automated removal workflows, and compliance automation for regulated industries.
Optery's backend is built on Python/Django with Celery and RabbitMQ for distributed task processing. Web crawling uses Puppeteer; data is indexed in Elasticsearch and stored across PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Cassandra. The platform runs on Kubernetes across AWS, GCP, and Azure for redundancy and scale.
Active projects include generative AI integration for automation, web crawler development for broker discovery, automated workflows for data privacy services, data subject access request fulfillment, and improvements to release predictability and process efficiency.
