Radaris.com, a consumer data broker, has lost its domains due to a lawsuit for violating New Jersey's Daniel's Law, which protects personal information of law enforcement officials. The lawsuit, initiated by Atlas Data Privacy Corp in February 2024, accused Radaris of ignoring removal requests for sensitive data. A judge ordered the transfer of radaris.com and 13 other domains to the plaintiffs after Radaris's legal team delayed proceedings. The enforcement action is significant as it sets a precedent for privacy law compliance among data brokers. Radaris faces potential fines of $1,000 per violation, and similar lawsuits are anticipated against over 150 data brokers across multiple states. The case highlights the use of shell companies and fictitious identities by Radaris to evade legal accountability.
