How to Opt Out of Radaris
A step-by-step guide to opting out of Radaris and removing your personal information from its people search listings using the official removal process.
To opt out of Radaris, find your listing on the site, open the profile, and use the control that lets you manage or remove the record. Radaris usually asks you to verify by email before it will process the request. This page walks through the full process and explains what to expect afterwards.
Before you start, note one thing. Removing your listing hides the profile Radaris shows to the public. It does not stop the company from collecting your data again. Brokers like Radaris rebuild their records from upstream feeds, marketing databases and public sources. Your listing will often reappear within a few months, and you may need to repeat the process.
Find your listing first
You cannot opt out of a record you have not located. Start by searching for yourself.
- Go to the Radaris website.
- Search for your full name. Add your city or state if the name is common.
- Open each profile that matches you. Radaris often holds more than one record for the same person, sometimes tied to old addresses or name variants.
- Copy the link to each matching profile page. You will need these to make sure every version is handled.
Do not skip the step of checking for duplicates. It is common to remove one profile and leave two others live.
Use the Radaris removal process
Radaris runs its opt-out from within the profile itself rather than through a single separate form. The exact wording of the buttons changes from time to time, so look for the control that lets you manage the information on your own page.
- Open your profile page.
- Look for an option to control or manage the listing. This is often near the top of the profile or under a menu attached to your record.
- Choose the option to remove or hide the information.
- Radaris will ask you to confirm ownership of the record. This normally means entering an email address so it can send a verification link.
- Open the email from Radaris and click the confirmation link. The request is not complete until you do this.
- Follow any remaining prompts to confirm which record you want removed.
If you are asked to create an account or sign in to manage the listing, you can do so, but be aware that this ties your email to the record. Use an address you are comfortable sharing with the company.
Handle the extra records
Once the first profile is confirmed, go back to the links you saved earlier. Repeat the removal process for each additional profile. Radaris treats these as separate records, so each one needs its own request and its own email confirmation.
Radaris also operates alongside related data services. Removing your main profile does not always clear associated entries elsewhere on the same network. If you find your details on a connected page, treat it as a separate listing and remove it the same way.
What Radaris will not remove
Some of the information on your profile is drawn from public records. This includes things like court filings, property ownership records, corporate registrations and voter registration data. These are public by law. Radaris may stop displaying its own copy, but it cannot delete the underlying record, and neither can you. The source records will remain accessible at their official sources.
This is worth understanding before you start. The goal of an opt-out is to remove the aggregated, easy-to-search profile. It is not to erase every trace of public information about you.
Send a CCPA deletion demand
If you are a California resident, you have the right under the California Consumer Privacy Act to ask a business to delete the personal information it holds about you. This is separate from the standard opt-out and can carry more weight, because the company is legally obliged to respond.
- Look for a privacy notice or a Do Not Sell or Share link, usually in the footer of the Radaris site.
- Find the section that describes how to make a consumer rights or deletion request.
- Submit a request that clearly states you want your personal information deleted under the CCPA.
- Provide only the details needed to identify your records, such as your name and the profile links.
- Keep a copy of your request and any confirmation you receive.
Residents of other regions may have similar rights under their own laws. Even where you have no legal right, most brokers still offer a voluntary opt-out, which is the process described above.
Check that it worked
Give the request a little time to process, then search for yourself again. Use a private browsing window so old results are not cached.
- Search your name and confirm the profiles no longer appear.
- Check the specific profile links you saved. They should no longer show your details.
- Note the date you completed the removal so you know when to check again.
If a profile is still live after a reasonable period, repeat the confirmation step. A common reason for failure is an unclicked email verification link.
Expect it to come back
Say this to yourself plainly. Opting out is not permanent. Radaris and brokers like it constantly pull fresh data from public records, marketing lists and other databases. A listing you removed today can return in a few months once the next data feed rebuilds it.
The only realistic approach is to treat this as maintenance. Set a reminder to search for yourself every few months and repeat the removal when new profiles appear. This is tedious, but it is the honest picture of how these sites work.
Doing this at scale
Radaris is one broker among dozens. If you remove yourself here, the same information is likely published on several other people search sites, each with its own process. Repeating this by hand across all of them, and again every few months, is a large ongoing task.
Vanish is a Mac app that automates this. It finds where data brokers publish your details and sends CCPA deletion demands on your behalf, then keeps checking as listings reappear. It is a tool to save you the manual work, not a magic fix. The same rules apply. Public records stay public, and listings still return.
Whether you use a tool or do it by hand, the core steps are the same. Find every profile, confirm the removal, and check back regularly.
Common questions
How long does Radaris take to remove my profile?
Radaris usually processes a request after you confirm it by email. The listing may disappear within a few days, but timing varies. If it is still visible after a week or two, check that you clicked the verification link, then repeat the process.
Will my information stay off Radaris permanently?
No. Radaris rebuilds its records from public sources and data feeds. A profile you removed can reappear within a few months. Plan to search for yourself and repeat the opt-out periodically.
Do I need a Radaris account to opt out?
You may be asked to sign in or verify by email to manage a listing. This ties your email to the record. Use an address you are comfortable giving the company, and be aware you can remove listings without paying for anything.
Can Radaris remove my court and property records?
No. Court filings, property records, corporate registrations and voter rolls are public by law. Radaris may stop displaying its own copy, but the underlying records remain available at their official sources.
What if I do not live in California?
The CCPA deletion right applies to California residents, but Radaris and most brokers offer a voluntary opt-out to anyone. Some other regions also have their own privacy laws that grant similar deletion rights.
Doing this for all 54 brokers by hand?
Vanish finds every listing about a person, sends the deletion demands from their own email, then re-checks later and tells you which ones actually came down. The scan is free — you only pay if there is something worth removing.
