What Is Radaris and Why Should You Opt Out?
Radaris is a public data aggregator that collects and publishes personal details about individuals—including addresses, phone numbers, age, property records, and more. It pulls this information from public sources, real estate transactions, court records, social media, and data brokers.
While Radaris promotes itself as a people-finder tool, the information listed can lead to privacy risks, spam calls, identity theft, and unwanted attention.
“If your address, phone number, or full name appears on Radaris, it’s time to remove it.”
How Radaris Impacts Your Online Presence
- Personal info appears on search engines
- Aggregated data may be scraped by other platforms
- Employers, acquaintances, or bad actors can find sensitive data with ease
For people in sensitive roles (e.g., teachers, healthcare professionals, legal professionals), this exposure can have serious consequences.
What Kind of Information Radaris Publishes
- Full legal names
- Current and former addresses
- Associated phone numbers
- Age and date of birth
- Relatives, neighbors, and known associates
- Property ownership and business affiliations
- Links to personal social media and images
Radaris listings often combine data from multiple sources to paint a detailed picture of an individual.
Why This Matters:
This level of detail can be weaponized:
- Doxxing by trolls or stalkers
- Identity fraud through social engineering
- Reputation damage via public exposure

Other Sites Like Radaris That Share Your Info
To fully protect your privacy, opt out from other people search sites that source or share the same data:
These sites often re-upload data, so regular checks are necessary.
Long-Term Protection Strategy:

- Use a pseudonym or initials in public accounts where appropriate
- Limit sharing of your full name on forums, comments, and newsletter signups

Bonus Tip:
Pair your opt-out efforts with content creation and privacy settings updates on your social platforms.
Suppression Techniques: Push Down What You Can’t Remove
Not all content can be deleted. Suppression helps ensure negative or sensitive listings don’t dominate your search results.
Build High-Ranking Content:
- Buy a personal domain (e.g., yourname.com)
- Write blog posts using your full name in titles and meta descriptions
- Create social profiles (LinkedIn, Crunchbase, Twitter, About.me)
- Submit press releases with your name included
- Guest post on niche blogs or industry websites
Advanced Tactics:
- Apply schema markup to blogs or bios for better Google recognition
- Submit long-form content to Medium or Substack
- Link related profiles and bios to boost internal link equity
“Suppression works by owning page one of Google with content you control.”
