Making it harder to remove your information
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.

There are flaws, but the functionality is useful
Overall, Radaris is a helpful website for people searching for basic information, even though it occasionally provides obsolete data. I would want more recent content.

Questionable accuracy of data
Several times I've encountered information on Radaris that turned out to be inaccurate or outdated. It's not critical, but it's unpleasant. If the service would update the data more often, that would be great. For now, there are questions about accuracy.

Comprehensive approach to information about real estate and business
I actively use Radaris to analyze information about companies and real estate. The service provides detailed reports including value, real estate characteristics, sales history, and company financials. This is especially useful for making investment decisions. The ability to check credit ratings, lawsuits, and even the number of employees in a company makes Radaris a unique tool for businessmen and investors.

Absolute scum
Absolute scum. Bottom feeders, monetizing your data. They do not respect requests for removal, and their website is riddled with dark patterns.
Response from RadarisSep 3, 2024
Hello Andrew,
I am very sorry you feel this way. We complete all received requests within 48 hours. If we have not completed your request, it's likely that we don't know the specific details you want removed or the records have been already removed from our site.
If your request is still in process or you need assistance in removing more information, please contact us directly at [email protected], so we can figure it out together.
Best regards,
Radaris customer service

Won't take down my info, won't respond to emails
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.
