How to remove yourself from MyLife
MyLife is one of the most-complained-about brokers because it displays a “Reputation Score” and implies negative info to push paid subscriptions. It’s also one of the harder sites to remove from — there’s no clean self-service button, so you use its CCPA request page and, if needed, email.
To remove yourself from MyLife, submit the official opt-out request at www.mylife.com (CCPA deletion request / email; takes about Varies (can be slow), difficulty: Hard). Removal is free — you never have to pay a broker to take your listing down. Brokers re-scrape public records, so re-check in a few months or use monitoring that re-removes new listings automatically.
A “Reputation Score”, contact info, age, background and public-record details.
Why removing yourself from MyLife matters
On MyLife, anyone can look you up — often for just a few dollars — and pull a “Reputation Score”, contact info, age, background and public-record details. That is more than enough to target you with spam and phishing, fuel robocalls, or in the worst cases enable stalking, doxxing or identity theft. Removing your MyLife listing cuts off one of the easiest public sources of that data about you.
Opting out of MyLife is more involved than most opt-outs — it works via cCPA deletion request / email, and removal times vary. It is free: under U.S. privacy laws MyLife has to honor opt-out requests, so never pay a "removal" fee. Because MyLife is one of the more stubborn sites to remove from, keep a copy of your request and be ready to follow up if your profile reappears.
How to opt out of MyLife, step by step
Go to mylife.com/ccpa/index.pubview (the CCPA / privacy-rights request page).
Submit a deletion request for your profile, providing the profile URL and the email tied to your request.
If the form stalls or the profile remains, email privacy@mylife.com directly, citing your CCPA right to deletion and the profile URL.
Keep a copy of your request and any reply — you may need to follow up more than once.
Link verified June 2026 — brokers change their forms, so confirm it’s the official mylife.com opt-out before entering anything.
Watch out: MyLife is known for slow, incomplete removals and for re-posting profiles. Document everything; persistent CCPA requests (and a clear paper trail) are what eventually get the listing down.
What MyLife publishes, and why it stings more than other brokers
Most people-search sites publish records. MyLife publishes a judgement: a "Reputation Score" out of five, assembled by software from whatever public data it holds, sitting next to hints that there may be criminal records, lawsuits or financial trouble behind the paywall. Nothing is verified and nothing is explained, and the page is written to make you buy a subscription to find out what it is implying about you.
That is also why it matters more than a plain listing. A hiring manager or a landlord who searches your name sees a number and a nudge that something unpleasant is hidden, and there is no context to correct it. Deleting the profile is the only real remedy — there is no honest way to argue a machine-made score down.
- A numeric “Reputation Score” with no published methodology
- Teasers implying criminal, court or financial records exist behind a paywall
- Age, current and previous addresses, phone numbers and email addresses
- Relatives and people you have shared an address with
- A profile that exists whether or not you ever visited the site
A realistic timeline for a MyLife deletion
Set expectations before you start: this is not the site where the listing disappears while you watch. There is no self-service delete button, the request goes through the privacy-rights page, and the answer arrives by email days or weeks later — sometimes as a confirmation, sometimes as a question asking you to identify which profile is yours.
California’s privacy law gives a business 45 days to respond to a verified deletion request, with one extension of another 45 days if it explains the delay. Whether or not you live in California, that is the yardstick worth using: file the request, write the date down, and follow up the moment the window closes instead of quietly waiting.
The follow-up is where most successful removals are actually won. A short email to privacy@mylife.com that references the original request date and the profile URL, and states plainly that you are asking for deletion of the record, is much harder to lose than a form submission with no thread behind it.
If MyLife stalls or the profile reappears
Two failure modes come up repeatedly. The first is silence — no reply, no change. The second is a partial removal, where the profile page goes but a thinner version comes back later under a slightly different name spelling or an old address.
For both, the answer is a paper trail rather than a louder request. Keep the original submission, any reply, and dated screenshots of the profile before and after in one place. When a request has to be escalated — to the company again, or to your state attorney general’s office, which handles consumer privacy complaints — the record of what you asked and when is the whole case.
A written deletion request that cites your state’s law is more effort than a form, and it is the version that gets treated as a legal request rather than customer feedback. Our generator fills one in with your details and the right statute for your state.
Where else the same data is sitting
MyLife does not invent your record — it buys and scrapes it, from the same public-record feeds and marketing databases that supply everyone else in this business. Removing the profile here does not touch the copies, and the copies are what let a profile reappear later from a fresh data pull.
People who work through this usually find their information on dozens of sites, not one. Doing them by hand is a weekend of forms and confirmation emails; the sites that matter most for you depend on what you are worried about — an address if the concern is being found in person, phone numbers if it is scam calls, court and background data if it is employment.

Why does MyLife show a negative “Reputation Score” for me?
It’s an automated, unverified score designed to alarm you into buying a subscription — it isn’t a real assessment. You can request deletion of the whole profile.
Is MyLife hard to opt out of?
Relative to other brokers, yes. Use the CCPA page first, then email privacy@mylife.com and follow up if the profile lingers.
How long does MyLife have to answer my deletion request?
Under California’s privacy law a business has 45 days to respond to a verified deletion request, and can take another 45 if it tells you why it needs the extension. In practice the useful number is your own: note the date you filed, and follow up as soon as that window closes rather than waiting to see what happens.
Do I have to live in California to use the CCPA form?
The form is the same page for everyone, and MyLife does not ask you to prove a state of residence before processing it. More than a dozen states now have their own deletion rights as well, so a request from Virginia, Colorado, Texas or Oregon rests on that state’s law instead. Naming the law you are relying on in the request costs nothing and makes it harder to file away.
Does deleting my MyLife profile remove the Reputation Score from Google?
The score lives on the profile page, so when the page goes, the score goes with it. The search result can linger for a week or two on cache alone. What survives longer is anything a scraper copied while the page was live — those are separate sites with separate opt-outs.
MyLife keeps emailing me about my profile after I asked for deletion. Is that normal?
It is common and it is worth answering. Marketing email about a profile you asked to have deleted suggests the request was logged as a marketing opt-out rather than a deletion. Reply to the thread, restate that you asked for deletion of the record and not for fewer emails, and keep the reply in the same chain so the timestamps stay together.
Should I pay MyLife to manage my profile instead?
No. Paying the site that publishes the profile to make the profile look better is the business model, not the fix — and a paid account does not delete the underlying record. Deletion is free and you never need a subscription to request it.
