What is MyLife?
MyLife is a people-search and "reputation" site that builds public profiles assigning individuals a "Reputation Score" alongside scraped background data, court records and contact details. It is one of the most-complained-about brokers because profiles often imply negative information to pressure people into paying for a subscription.
Data MyLife collects about you
- •Full name and aliases
- •MyLife "Reputation Score"
- •Current and past addresses
- •Phone numbers and email addresses
- •Court, criminal and bankruptcy records
- •Relatives and associates
- •Age and date of birth
Why Your Data Appears on MyLife
MyLife compiles profiles from public records, social media and purchased marketing data, then generates a profile for you automatically — you never signed up. The "Reputation Score" is algorithmic, not based on any real review of you.
Where MyLife gets your data
- →Voter registration records
- →Property tax and deed records
- →Court and other public records
- →USPS National Change of Address (NCOA)
- →Marketing and subscription lists
- →Purchases from other data brokers
Step-by-Step: How to Remove Your Data from MyLife
The opt-out process is free. Estimated time: 14–30 days for removal to take effect after completing these steps.
Confirm what MyLife holds on you
Search mylife.com for your full name with your city or state. Note the URL of any record listing and the exact identifiers shown, so your request is specific enough to action without you having to volunteer extra data.
Write your removal email to privacy@mylife.com
Email privacy@mylife.com with the subject "Privacy / Do Not Sell — Personal Information Removal Request". State clearly: "Delete my MyLife reputation profile and opt me out of all data sales." Cite your rights under the CCPA/CPRA and your state privacy law, and ask MyLife to both delete your record and suppress future re-listing.
Include just enough to be matched — and no more
Give your full name, city/state and any record listing URL so MyLife can locate your record. Only add a phone or email if it is already the identifier they index. Do not volunteer your SSN or a full ID.
Request written confirmation
Ask MyLife to reply in writing once your data is removed, and to confirm the date. Keep the email thread — it is your evidence if you later need to escalate to a regulator.
Follow up and verify
MyLife states requests take 14–30 days. If you have not had confirmation by the end of that window, reply on the same thread asking for a status update. Re-check mylife.com once the change is confirmed.
How Long Does MyLife Removal Take?
What Documents MyLife May Request
No government ID required
- •The listing URL or the exact data point they index
- •An email address for the confirmation link
⚠️ Safety note on ID uploads
You should not need to upload an ID for a standard people-search opt-out here. If they ask for one, redact everything except your name and address, and never send your Social Security number.
What to Do If MyLife Removal Fails
If the standard opt-out process does not work, follow these escalation steps in order:
If your MyLife listing reappears within 30–60 days, simply re-submit the opt-out. Re-listing after a new public record is normal and does not mean your first request failed.
If the email goes unanswered, re-send to privacy@mylife.com and CC any "privacy" or "legal" alias on the site with the subject "Do Not Sell / Delete — Personal Information" and a clear statement of your request plus your listing URL.
If MyLife still does not comply within 45 days, file a complaint with your state Attorney General and the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov. California residents can additionally report non-compliance to the CPPA at cppa.ca.gov.
Alternative Options
🔧 Manual removal (free)
The opt-out above is free and works for MyLife specifically. The catch is that MyLife is only one of 500+ data brokers — to actually disappear you would repeat a similar process for each site, which is typically 20–40 hours of research and follow-up.
⚡ Automated removal (OfflistMe)
OfflistMe covers 500+ data brokers including MyLife for a single one-time payment. Instead of hunting down each broker's opt-out page, OfflistMe surfaces the correct opt-out link or privacy email and pre-generates a properly worded removal request for each one. You send it from your own inbox — the same legal outcome as doing it by hand, without the hours of research.
