Data brokers are companies that collect and sell your personal information, and auditing these sites is an essential step in anyone's digital footprint analysis, especially if you are conducting it for the first time.
Radaris is a US-based people-search engine. Radaris collects individual information into profiles that include details such as historical and current addresses, Possible aliases, phone numbers, family members, employers, estimated property value and more, taken from court and property records, commercial marketing files, and of course public records-all of which are available for anyone to discover through a simple web search.
You can remove your records at no charge through Radaris, but it's a little more difficult than most, going to the appropriate center under the company's Privacy Policy, then confirming you want to update the record, confirming by email, and (occasionally) providing further identifying information to the website before the removal request is submitted. An excellent way to go about it is summarized here, with advice on how to handle a bounced listing.
What information does Radaris publish about you?
- Full name, aliases and age
- Current and previous home addresses
- Landline and mobile phone numbers
- Relatives, associates and household members
- Employment history and business affiliations
- Property ownership and estimated home values

Start automatic removalHow to opt out of Radaris: step by step
1Find your Radaris listing
Go to radaris.com. Enter your first and last name, City, and State where you reside. Select the Radaris profile with your exact first and last name. Copy the entire url link at the top of your web browser it will look similar to radaris.com/p/John/Donald/123456789. Look at profile information that is displayed, if you find multiple profiles at an old address, or if you use variations of your name copy the url link from each profile because they are a different record.
2Open the Radaris privacy center
Visit radaris.com/control-privacy in order to access the data privacy center to finally delete your own profile. Alternatively, you can click the 'Remove my information' link at the bottom of your specific profile - it leads to the same flow.
3Submit the record you want removed
Paste the profile url you copied from Step 1 and click Next. Radaris will generate a preview of the listing so you are certain it is not that of another individual. Provide an e-mail address to access for the confirmation link to be sent to.
4Confirm via the verification email
Radaris will email you a verification almost immediately after your request (check your spam filter). Just follow the URL in the email and finish your request. If an automatic verification fails, Radaris may ask for additional information, such as your name and phone number before submitting. Send only the data needed to identify your record.
5Verify the listing is gone
Once you confirm, it will be moved off Radaris as soon as their servers pull through (which is normally in 24-48 hours). Search yourself a few times just to make sure, and repeat this entire process for each duplicate profile you have identified in step 1.

What happens after you opt out
An Opt-out with Radaris will delete the single record you opt out of, not your entire identity. Radaris reindexes on an ongoing basis, making use of a mixture of third party data sources, court and property records and spidering. So some of your information may reappear after you relocate, or change a phone number, or if a new record of court or property emerges. Unmatched recent data might also reappear in another form.
Therefore from the point of view of most users Radaris becomes a continual process of maintenance-you need to keep coming back every few months, or else be willing to have some service such as AntiBridge track down broker sites and submit removal requests if your data ever appears anywhere else.
Tired of opting out one site at a time?
Data brokers make it easy for scammers, stalkers, and identity thieves to find you. Removing yourself from 150+ sites manually takes weeks – and your information can reappear. AntiBridge handles the removals for you and keeps watch so your privacy stays protected.
Remove my info automaticallyFrequently asked questions
Is the Radaris opt-out free?
Yes. It's completely free to delete your own record by yourself at the Radaris privacy center, radaris.com/control-privacy. Nothing will cost you unless you really want to pay Radaris (and you shouldn't - ignore 'pay for Radaris' pages while searching for the removal).
Do I need an account or phone verification to opt out of Radaris?
No registration. Generally such removals are OK with email verification only, but every now and then Radaris may not be able to find your record and will therefore have to request, case by case, some additional info, like a phone number, before actually performing the removal. This is the explanation for Radaris flow to be a bit more involved than a simple single-email opt out.
Why is my Radaris profile still showing after I opted out?
The removal may take 24-48 hours to appear in the Search results so if you want to make sure it has fully disappeared from there also, Google will sometimes actually hold on to a cached version for a period of time. If after a matter of a few days the listing is still being displayed then make sure you have confirmed the verification link and try to re-submit the listing record. The most common reason for this is an unconfirmed email address.
Will my information come back to Radaris?
Yes. Radaris constantly scans current records and data brokers feed from time to time. Hence, your profile may still reappear in the search result after several months. Checking once in a while, or establishing an automatic "we'll inform when anything's changed" type service is a good idea.
