How to Remove Yourself from MyLife

MyLife publishes a Reputation Score next to your name and hints that your report may contain arrest or court records. It is the people-search site most likely to be read as a judgment of you, and it makes removal harder than any other broker. Here is how to remove your MyLife profile for free, by form, email, or phone.

What MyLife is, and why it is different

MyLife builds what it calls Reputation Profiles: your name, age, address, phone, relatives, and a public Reputation Score, with hints that the full report may contain arrest or court records. That framing makes an unmanaged listing look like a verdict on your character, which is exactly why it pressures people into paying for a subscription to manage it. You do not need to pay. Removal is free.

In 2020, the US Department of Justice, acting for the Federal Trade Commission, sued MyLife and its CEO over deceptive teaser reports and subscription billing practices. The case settled in 2021 with a judgment of about $21 million against the company. MyLife's own footer states that it is not a consumer reporting agency, and its information may not be used for credit, employment, or tenancy decisions.

Why MyLife is the hardest removal

Most people-search sites have a self-service opt-out form. MyLife has historically routed removals through customer care instead, by email or by phone, and its representatives may pivot to offering you a subscription so you can manage your profile instead of removing it. Removals are slow, typically 7 to 10 business days, and profiles occasionally reappear after an initial deletion. Expect to follow up. That is normal for MyLife, and it is why this guide gives you three routes instead of one.

Step 1: Find your profile

Go to mylife.com and search your full name and city. Open the profile that matches you and copy its URL from the address bar. You will need that URL for every route below.

Step 2: Try the online form first

MyLife's footer links to a page titled Do Not Sell My Personal Information, which leads to mylife.com/privacyrequest, a form headed Deletion and Opt Out of Sale of Personal Information. Submit the form with your information. It asks for more fields than most brokers, including a required birth year, and it gates the email field behind a separate verification step before the rest of the form can be submitted. The form states that a processed request permanently removes the listing that matches your information. This form was verified working in August 2026, but MyLife has a history of routing removals through phone and email, so if the form stalls, use the next steps.

Step 3: Email [email protected]

Email creates a paper trail, so do this even if you tried the form. Send an email to [email protected] with your full name, age, city and state, and the URL of your MyLife profile. Ask for removal of your listing and Reputation Score, and for deletion of your personal information. Do not provide payment information, your Social Security number, or a photo ID. None of those are required for a removal request.

Step 4: Call 888-704-1900 if email stalls

If you have no response within a week, call MyLife customer care at 1-888-704-1900 during business hours, Pacific time. Have your profile URL ready. Say you are calling to request removal of your profile from public display, and that you want your information deleted, not just edited. If a representative offers you a subscription so you can manage your profile instead, decline. You do not need an account or a subscription to have your data removed. Repeat the word remove and stay on that request.

Step 5: Verify and follow up

Check MyLife again after two weeks. If your profile is gone, set a reminder to re-check at 30 and 90 days, because profiles occasionally reappear. If it is still there, follow up in writing, referencing your original request and its date. Persistence, politely documented, is what closes these out. Most people find that two or three rounds of follow-up produce a durable removal. If you live in California, the CCPA gives you a legal right to demand deletion, with a 45-day response deadline.

What removal does and does not do

Removal takes your profile off MyLife's public pages. It does not delete the underlying public records, and it does not remove you from other brokers. Whitepages, Spokeo, BeenVerified, and dozens of others hold the same data. The full list, with the exact link for each broker, is in our DIY guide to removing yourself from data brokers. MyLife is the hardest single removal in that guide, which is why it gets its own page.
