There are two ongoing lawsuits against Radaris, both of which allege that the company engages in deceptive and unfair trade practices.
The first lawsuit was filed in California in 2014 by the Consumer Law Group and alleges that Radaris violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) by failing to provide consumers with access to their Radaris reports and by failing to correct inaccurate information in those reports. The lawsuit also alleges that Radaris violates the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) by failing to disclose the types of personal information that it collects and by failing to allow consumers to opt out of having their personal information sold.
The second lawsuit was filed in Florida in 2019 by Bitseller, a Cyprus-based company that owns the domain name Radaris.com. The lawsuit alleges that Radaris violated the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) by transferring the Radaris.com domain name to itself without Bitseller’s consent.
Both lawsuits are still ongoing, and it is unclear how they will be resolved. However, the cases have raised important questions about Radaris’ business practices and its compliance with privacy laws.
If you are a Radaris user, you should be aware of the ongoing lawsuits against the company and you should take steps to protect your privacy. You can do this by:
- Reviewing your Radaris report and disputing any inaccurate information.
- Opting out of having your personal information sold.
- Using a pseudonym or alias when creating a Radaris account.
- Avoiding using Radaris if you are concerned about your privacy.
If you have been harmed by Radaris’ business practices, you may have legal options. You should contact an attorney to discuss your specific situation.
