Data Broker Radaris Loses Domain After Privacy Lawsuit

New Jersey court ordered data broker Radaris.com to transfer its domain to privacy-focused firm Atlas Data Privacy Corp, ending its sales of detailed personal dossiers on millions of Americans.

Radaris.com’s domain was transferred to Atlas Data Privacy Corp via New Jersey court default judgment on August 26, 2026, after Radaris violated the state’s Daniel’s Law by publishing information on law enforcement officials. The move followed Radaris’s 2024 lawsuit against Atlas, which alleged Radaris had published personal data without authorization. Radaris ceased selling detailed dossiers on millions of Americans after the transfer, though its website still appears in search results for U.S. residents. Radaris’s legal strategy—using shell companies across Marshall Islands, British Virgin Islands, and other jurisdictions—was challenged by Atlas, which obtained over 10,000 documents during litigation. Radaris’s attorney claimed the transfer was invalid because the company wasn’t a legal entity, but the court upheld the domain transfer after Radaris failed to collect $7.5 million from a 2017 default judgment. This outcome reduces consumer data exploitation risks for New Jersey residents by removing a major data broker’s ability to sell detailed personal information. What to watch: Whether Radaris’s legal challenge about its non-entity status holds and if the company continues to appear in search results for U.S. residents.
