    I am filing this complaint against Radaris due to their consistent failure to remove my personal information from their website, despite multiple confirmed requests for removal. This negligence has not only compromised my privacy but has also exposed me to potential harm.I have formally requested the removal of my personal data from Radaris on 3 separate occasions. Each time, I followed their prescribed process and received confirmation that my information had been successfully removed. Despite these assurances, my personal information remains publicly accessible on their platform (see screenshot that clearly shows my full name, complete address, curriculum, etc.)This ongoing visibility has led to a serious breach of my privacy, including an incident where a stalker was able to obtain my address through Radaris. The risk associated with this exposure is unacceptable.Moreover, they suggest me to contract OneRep privacy protection platform to secure the removal of my data! Certainly have some association!. It is egregious to suggest that customers need to pay to protect their privacy, especially after failing to fulfill their basic obligation to remove data upon request.This situation reflects a blatant disregard for consumer privacy and safety, as well as a failure to adhere to their own policies. It is misleading and deceptive for Radaris to claim that they provide a service to remove personal data upon request, while repeatedly failing to do so.It is imperative that Radaris be held accountable for their actions and that corrective measures be implemented to prevent further incidents of this nature.I look forward to your prompt attention to this matter and hope for a resolution that includes the permanent removal of my personal information from the Radaris website and a reconsideration of their policies regarding data removal and consumer safety.

Its a cycle that needs to end by penalizing violations of the Privacy Act.

    I am rejecting this response because: they clearly didnt read the complaint and returned a canned response. Just because I finally did get someone to remove my record does not mean the process is easy or that it isnt meant to trip people up. Their process is intentionally complicated and meant to waste time so people give up. Spending hours of my life requesting my personal information be removed from their website is not acceptable. My interactions with the company requesting my information be removed were also subpar. I told them their website wasnt working and sent me an error message and they sent me a link back to their website. 

    Sincerely,

    ****** ****

    I have requested Radaris to remove my personal information from ****** as I did not give any permission to use my photos on their website or ****** search. I have searched other sites for this specific information and photos and cannot find it. I am only finding it on Radaris. They have removed other information but still have my photos posted. Personal information. Mugshot from over 15 years ago.

    On 3/16/24 I accessed the Remove my information section of the Radaris website . Their process is purposely designed to make it extremely time consuming to process. It forces to you to cycle through many different screens, wait, process CAPTCHAs unnecessarily. The process to request removal of ones private information from these data broker sites is supposed to be straightforward and this site obviously is looking to deter people from doing so.

    I just had an unpleasant experience requesting that my personal information be removed from Radaris' database. The process for removing my info began with a statement "We have streamlined our removal process to help you." If this is the streamlined process, I don't even want to know what it was like before being streamlined. I had to go through 7 additional screens, 71+ seconds of arbitrary and unnecessary waiting, and 8 additional clicks (Screen 1: Be an informed citizen...Please confirm you are 18+ years old with a >7 second arbitrary timer before I can confirm (click Yes); Screen 2: People rights to Information...with a >13 second arbitrary timer before I can click Next; Screen 3: Where information is coming from?...with a >13 second arbitrary timer before I can click Next; Screen 4: What are largest data consolidators?...with a >13 second arbitrary timer before I can click Next; Screen 5: Who are data resellers and providers in ***?...with the only option being to click View More (I do not want to view more!!!!) which expands the list into "Full list of prominent data brokers" WITH ANOTHER TIMER >12 SECONDS before I can click Next; Screen 6: Public Record Samples doesn't make me wait to click Next; Screen 7: How you can benefit from public records?...with a >13 second arbitrary timer before I can click Start Removing) just to finish (or so I thought) my request. Then I had to go to my email! And click on a link to confirm my request! And I'll have to check back after 24 hours to verify they actually removed my info!!!! AND THIS IS THE STREAMLINED PROCESS "FOR" ME. It's a process for me, sure!!! But not a process STREAMLINED for me, or for my benefit, or to save my time!!!!
