Untrustworthy and terrible company. I reached out to them because their website is broken and they told me they won't help or allow any customers that use emails other than Gmail, Yahoo or iCloud. How is that a thing? I wouldn't trust these people at all. Very shady.

I'm trying to remove my information from their site. They make me sit through a bunch of ridiculous fake loading screens. Then when their thing says they sent me an email no email comes in. And when I emailed support for help and to tell them that their process is broken no one replied a week later. I've tried this multiple times and every single time they say they sent me an email but they never send me an email.

Their removal process is broken. It's also extremely annoying. They make you sit through a dozen garbage screens with timers to get to their removal process. They send some link with a code and when you enter the code it says it's expired. I have tried it several times over the last week and each time has been the same. It's ridiculous that sites like this are allowed to operate.

These jokers had the gall to email me: "We apologize, but we only accept requests made from public email addresses (Gmail, Yahoo, etc). For third-party requests, we require proof of identity, evidence of current state residency status, and a signed statement designating the third-party as the authorized agent for the specific person identified." This is a personal request from my personal email account, which isn't even a weird custom domain or anything like that. It's just Outlook. What the heck are they talking about? I only had to email them in the first place because their stupid, fake-loading-filled removal form doesn't work for lots of the information they display. Edit for their response: How am I supposed to email you? You want me to make a new email address just to do that? That's ridiculous and unacceptable.

Went to get information removed and went through the process provided on their website. Malware was downloaded onto my computer through this process. I am now concerned about other security issues.

Radaris (or its parent company?) runs a bunch of people-search sites. They act like they're different companies, but if you inspect things a little it's obvious they're all the same. Here's a list that's surely incomplete because if I could find this many so easily there must be more I haven't found. radaris.com backgroundcheck.run clubset.com councilon.com curadvisor.com dataveria.com kwold.com newenglandfacts.com people-background-check.com persontrust.com verecor.com vericora.com veriforia.com virtory.com wellnut.com Evidence that they're all the same company: - same exact data - same URL structures with minor variations - same HTML with minor variations - same opt-out process - same weird recorded message when you try to call them I removed myself from all of these in the past by removing myself only from radaris.com. Now, they re-added my data to all the sites. They're trying to unlink the removal process to make it harder to get your data removed. Now, when you remove your information from one site, it doesn't get removed from the others, and you have to submit separate requests. But guess what: They were sloppy. They're still recording the fact that you used your email address to make the request for a given site, and they forgot to unlink those records. Meaning that when I used my email address to remove myself from a few of these sites, then when I went on to the next one, which I've never made a removal request for in my life, they gave me a message saying the email address had already been used. And no matter which of the other sites I went to, where I'd never made requests before, they told me my email address had already been used for a request. If you're going to try to get away with pretending you don't run all these sites, you'll have to at least do it better. They can all look the same and you can say it's a coincidence or that someone's ripping off your site, but this email thing is good evidence that you're sharing a database with them at the very least, and seems like pretty good evidence that you're intentionally making it harder to remove my information for no good reason except to make more money by denying me my rights and selling my data. I'll be submitting this evidence to the California Privacy Protection agency, too. Please be on the lookout for communication from them. Edit: And now they're saying they think I reviewed the wrong business. Please just address this and stop trying to get my review taken down. This review is very clearly about radaris and the other sites that radaris runs. Anyone curious about this shady company should check out the two Krebs on Security pieces about radaris from earlier this year. Pretty eye-opening. To make this very clearly about radaris: Now that I have removed my information from three of the other sites that radaris runs, radaris no longer lets me remove my information from radaris or from any of the other sites they run.

Absolute scum. Bottom feeders, monetizing your data. They do not respect requests for removal, and their website is riddled with dark patterns.

They won't take down my data. Their automated process doesn't have a way to remove the type of record I am attempting to get rid of. I emailed them from my Outlook account and they said this: "Due to a large amount of spam messages and bot requests from temporary email addresses, we are now accepting individual removal requests only from verified users with Gmail, Yahoo or iCloud email addresses." This is not spam. I am not a bot. This is not a temporary email address. It's Outlook, one of the biggest email providers in the world. This is unacceptable and I am pretty certain that it is a violation of my state's privacy laws, which require that requests like these are carried out. Please change your ways. I will be filing a complaint with my state, your hosting provider, your domain registrar and will be researching all legal remedies. Based on the other reviews here, next they will ask me to email their customer service because they cannot tell who I am. That will not work because their customer service agent will tell me that my email address is unacceptable. So do not try that here. Go back and find my email from my outlook address and respond to it. Or ask me to send a new one, but please do not send back your automatic response to block me because that will not do you or me any good.
