TL;DR: Radaris.com no longer shows people’s profiles. After a Daniel’s Law lawsuit by Atlas Data Privacy, a New Jersey court entered a default judgment in late August 2026 and ordered radaris.com and 13 other domains transferred to Atlas. The site now shows a transfer notice. That doesn’t mean your data is gone: Radaris says it will appeal, and reporting found at least 25 related people-search domains were not covered by the order. Search for yourself on related sites such as VeriPages, opt out there, and recheck Radaris every few months in case it returns.
What happened to Radaris
KrebsOnSecurity reported on 16 September 2026 that a New Jersey judge found the defendants had been given several chances to defend the case and hadn’t. The court ordered radaris.com and more than a dozen other data broker domains transferred to the plaintiff, Atlas Data Privacy Corp, which first sued Radaris in February 2024 under New Jersey’s Daniel’s Law and re-filed with more defendants in June 2025.
The notice now on radaris.com says the court entered a final judgment by default against Radaris.com, Rehold.com and Trustoria.com, and ordered permanent injunctive relief barring them from disclosing protected home addresses and unpublished home phone numbers, including through related domains.
Daniel’s Law lets New Jersey police officers, judges, prosecutors and their families demand removal of their home address and phone number, with fines of $1,000 per violation for companies that ignore requests (how Daniel’s Law works).
It isn’t over yet
- Appeal. Radaris’s attorney told Krebs the transfer was an unlawful forfeiture, that a motion to vacate the default judgment had been filed, and that appeals were planned.
- This has happened before. In a 2017 class action, *Huebner v. Radaris LLC*, a $7.5 million default judgment led to an order to transfer radaris.com. A judge later halted that transfer, and the site carried on under a Marshall Islands company, according to Krebs.
- The wider network is still live. Techlicious reported that at least 25 other people-search domains in the network weren’t covered by the order.
- Search results linger. Krebs noted radaris.com still ranks prominently in US search results even though it now redirects to the notice.
What to do now
- Check related sites. Krebs’s article also names VeriPages, which it says earns about $45,000 a month. Search for your name there and follow our VeriPages opt-out guide.
- Clean up Google. Use Google’s Results about you tool to request removal of results showing your phone, home address or email (how).
- If you live in California, file one request through the state’s free DROP platform at consumer.drop.privacy.ca.gov. The EFF explains that one request reaches every *registered* data broker, which had to start processing requests from 1 August 2026. Unregistered sites aren’t covered.
- If you’re a covered person in New Jersey (law enforcement, judiciary or their family), send Daniel’s Law removal notices to any site still listing your home address.
- Recheck Radaris every few months. If the site comes back after an appeal, use the steps below.
If Radaris comes back: the old opt-out steps
Before the seizure, Cloaked’s manual guide described this process:
- Search radaris.com for your name and location, open your profile and copy its URL.
- Go to radaris.com/control-privacy, or click "Start removing" in the profile footer.
- Paste the URL, add your name and email, and complete the CAPTCHA.
- Click the link in the confirmation email and complete a second CAPTCHA if asked.
Cloaked said removals took 7 to 14 business days. Radaris often created several profiles per person (maiden names, old cities, middle initials), and each needed its own request. Use an email alias, and never pay to "manage" a profile.
Be careful who you pay
Removal services can help, but check who’s behind them. Krebs reported that the removal service Onerep earns revenue from the Radaris family of sites, which he presented as a conflict of interest. Doing the free opt-outs yourself takes longer but keeps your data out of one more company’s hands.
Then do the rest
Radaris was one of dozens. Work through our full US broker list, starting with Spokeo, BeenVerified and MyLife. A free email exposure check shows whether your email has also turned up in a breach.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Radaris.com still working?
No. Since a New Jersey court ordered the domain transferred to Atlas Data Privacy in August 2026, radaris.com shows a transfer notice instead of profiles. Radaris has said it will appeal.
Is my data deleted now that Radaris was seized?
Not necessarily. The order covers specific domains, and reporting found at least 25 related people-search sites were not included. Search for yourself on related sites such as VeriPages.
Why was Radaris taken down?
Atlas Data Privacy sued under New Jersey’s Daniel’s Law, which protects the home addresses and phone numbers of police, judges and their families. The defendants didn’t defend the case, and the court entered a default judgment.
How did the Radaris opt-out work?
You copied your profile URL, submitted it with your name and email at radaris.com/control-privacy, then confirmed the email link. It took 7 to 14 business days.
Does California’s DROP cover Radaris?
DROP reaches data brokers registered in California. It doesn’t cover unregistered sites, so check each site where you appear.
