Opt out of
the hard stuff.
Plain-language guides to opting out of the hard stuff — car data collection, ID-free phone service, anonymous LLC ownership, private browsers and operating systems. Written and vetted by the community.
What you can opt out of
The next guide is the one you write.
Found a way to opt out of something the rest of us are stuck on? Document it. Every submission is reviewed in the open by the community before it goes live — no gatekeepers, no secret editors.
Anyone can write a guide. Use our template, cite your sources, no account required.
The community checks every claim and link in public. You see exactly who said what.
Editors verify steps still work and strip anything risky or out of date.

A wiki for taking your data back
OptOut.wiki is a community-vetted directory of opt-out guides: step-by-step instructions for getting your data out of the hands of carmakers, data brokers, and apps that quietly share more than you'd like. No accounts, no trackers, no ads — just sourced, dated, and re-tested steps.
Vetted in the open
Every edit, source and reviewer is public. No anonymous editorial board deciding what you see.
Zero tracking
No analytics, no ads, no cookies, no accounts. We practice the privacy we preach.
Tested, dated steps
Guides show when they were last verified, because opt-out forms change every month.
The latest dispatch
Privacy isn't given. It's claimed.
Pick a guide and opt out this weekend — or document the next one for everyone behind you.
