Radaris Opt Out & Data Removal Guide
You can’t opt out of Radaris right now—and there’s no need to.
In August 2026, a New Jersey court took the radaris.com domain away from the people who ran it. The site no longer sells people-search reports. Visit it today, and you’ll find a court notice where the search box used to be.
But—
Your information didn’t go offline with it. Several of Radaris’s sister sites are still running, and the public records behind its profiles still feed plenty of other people-search sites.

What happened to Radaris
In short:
Radaris lost its domain in a New Jersey lawsuit in August 2026. The site no longer sells people-search reports, and its old profile links now open a court notice.
The case started in February 2024, when Atlas Data Privacy Corporation sued Radaris in New Jersey. It relied on Daniel’s Law, a state law that protects the home addresses and unlisted phone numbers of police officers, prosecutors, judges, and other covered public workers, along with their families.
Atlas brought claims on behalf of about 21,760 of these covered people, according to the notice now posted on radaris.com.
Radaris didn’t defend itself, so the court ruled against it by default—meaning Radaris lost because it never appeared to argue its side. A first judgment on June 12, 2026, took 12 of its sister domains. A second, on August 27, took radaris.com itself.
KrebsOnSecurity reports that 14 domains from the Radaris family of sites have moved to Atlas so far.
So, is Radaris finished for good? That depends on what happens next.How to opt out of Radaris and remove your info for free
Could Radaris return?
In short:
Radaris could return through an appeal or under a new name or domain. Its operators have renamed companies before, and Radaris-branded sites still run outside the US.
Yes, and in more than one way.
The first is through the courts. Radaris’s new lawyer told KrebsOnSecurity that his team has asked the court to cancel the default judgment. They also plan to appeal the domain transfer.
There’s history here, too. A court ordered radaris.com transferred once before, in a 2017 class action. Radaris appealed, and the transfer was stopped.
The law behind the case is under pressure as well. Many data brokers argue that Daniel’s Law breaks free speech rights, and a federal appeals court still hasn’t ruled on that question.
The second is a new name. Radaris doesn’t need its old address to keep selling profiles. After the 2017 case, the company listed as running the site changed from a Cyprus firm to a new one formed in the Marshall Islands.
Atlas says the pattern continued during its lawsuit. New companies appeared in offshore places, and old ones disappeared. Atlas CEO Matt Adkisson called it Radaris’s “island-hopping phase.”
And the Radaris brand hasn’t fully gone dark. At the time of writing, radaris.eu was still online under the Radaris name, offering people search and background reports.
Treat the shutdown as a pause, not a promise.
And even if Radaris stays offline, your data doesn’t leave with it. Here’s why—
Why Radaris going offline doesn’t make you much safer
In short:
Taking Radaris offline removed one site, not your data. Several of its sister sites are still live, and many other people-search sites build profiles from the same public records.
Radaris didn’t create your information. It gathered details like addresses, phone numbers, and family connections from public records, then packaged them into profiles for sale.
Those records haven’t gone anywhere. Privacy expert Justin Sherman told KrebsOnSecurity that almost all state privacy laws exempt public and government records—things like property filings, voter rolls, and court documents.
That’s why the same details keep appearing on other sites. Any people-search site can collect or buy those records and publish a profile that looks a lot like your old Radaris one.
Radaris also wasn’t a single site. Atlas says evidence from the case shows that Radaris and at least 25 other people-search websites worked as one operation, run by a small group.
The court has taken some of those sites, but not all. Right now, several sister sites tied to Radaris in the case evidence or in KrebsOnSecurity’s reporting were still online and still showing people-search profiles.
One fewer site is a real win. It just isn’t a fix for your exposure.
The good news? You can still remove your data from the sites that are live today.
What to do now that Radaris is offline
There’s no Radaris form to complete anymore. These three steps target the places where your data is still visible.
Step 1. Refresh old Radaris results on Google
Search Google for your full name plus “Radaris.” Old results can linger for a while, and their previews may still show your address or phone number.
If you find one, copy its link and open Google’s Refresh Outdated Content tool. Paste the link and send the request. You’ll need a Google account for this.
Because the page now shows only the court notice, it should qualify as changed content. Google reviews every request, though, so approval isn’t guaranteed.
Old Radaris pages are rarely the only personal results Google shows. Our guide to removing personal info from Google covers the rest, including Google’s own removal tools.
Step 2. Find the other sites that list you
Search your full name with your city and state. Then try again with a past address or an old phone number, since people-search pages are often built around those details too.
Watch closely for pages that look like your old Radaris profile, or that offer a removal link labeled ”control info.” Several sites tied to Radaris use that same wording.
Note every people-search site that shows your details. You’ll use that list again each time you recheck.
Step 3. Opt out of each site
Most people-search sites offer a free opt-out form, and our data broker opt-out guides explain the process for many of the biggest ones. Expect some extra hoops, though. Email verification is common, and a few sites ask for a phone call, an ID, or a mailed letter.
Save every confirmation email or screenshot. If a profile returns later, that record shows when you first asked for removal.
Single step (for California residents)
The state’s Delete Request and Opt-out Platform (DROP) lets you send one deletion request to every data broker registered in California. Brokers had to start processing these requests on August 1, 2026, and the state says they must delete your data within 90 days.
DROP doesn’t reach unregistered sites, so still opt out by hand wherever you find a listing.
Troubleshooting
In short:
Most Radaris questions now involve old removal requests, old Google results, or similar profiles on other sites. Each has a simple next step, and none require contacting Radaris.
You sent a Radaris opt-out before the shutdown
No further action is needed. With the site offline, there’s no public profile left to remove. Keep your confirmation email anyway—it’s useful proof if Radaris ever returns.
Your old Radaris profile still appears on Google
Search results don’t always update right away. Send a refresh request as described in step 1. If Google declines it, the result should still fade over time as Google revisits the page.
You found a near-identical profile on another site
That’s normal. It may be a Radaris sister site, or just another broker using the same public records. Either way, opt out of that site too, then add it to your list.
Other brokers that may have your data
Radaris is offline, but most sites like it are still running—and they use the same public records.
If Radaris had a profile on you, others likely do too.
Here’s the problem—it took a court fight of more than two years to close this one site.
You can’t wait for a judge to reach every broker that lists you. And the sites you opt out of by hand can relist you when fresh records arrive.
Incogni gives you a faster route.
It sends removal requests to 420+ data brokers and people-search sites for you. Then it repeats those requests every 60 to 90 days, so it can catch a profile that returns.
FAQ
Is Radaris gone for good?
Not necessarily. Its operators are fighting the ruling, and they have a history of reappearing under new company names. Search your name every few months, and look for Radaris-style profiles on new domains, not just on radaris.com.
Can I still opt out of Radaris?
No, not right now. The site has no working search or opt-out page while the court notice is up. Spend that time opting out of the people-search sites that still list you.
Did the court order delete my Radaris data?
Not necessarily. The parts of the order posted on radaris.com focus on people covered by Daniel’s Law, barring the operators from sharing their protected details. They don’t say the operators must delete everyone else’s records, so your data may still sit in their systems.
Does Daniel’s Law protect me?
Only if you’re a covered person in New Jersey, such as a police officer, judge, or prosecutor, or a family member of one. KrebsOnSecurity reports that at least 14 other states have passed similar laws, so it’s worth checking your state’s rules if you work in one of those roles.
