MyLife is the data broker people tend to hate most, and for good reason. Beyond the usual address-and-phone-number listing, MyLife publishes a "Reputation Score": a made-up number attached to your name, framed to look like a credit score, sitting where employers, dates, and neighbors can find it. The site's business model has historically leaned on alarming you into a subscription to "manage" the very profile it created about you.
You do not need to pay MyLife anything to be removed. Under privacy laws like the CCPA, you're entitled to free removal, and MyLife processes those requests. It's slower and clunkier than most brokers, so this guide covers all three paths: web form, email, and phone.
Checked against MyLife's live deletion and opt-out form on October 17, 2026. We read the form; we did not submit it. The phone number comes from earlier research and is not on the form.
What is MyLife?
MyLife builds "Reputation Profiles" from public records, court data, social media, and reviews. A profile can include:
- Name, age, and address history
- Phone numbers and emails
- Relatives
- Court and criminal record indicators
- The invented Reputation Score, plus space for other people to leave "reviews" of you
The score is the toxic part. It's not based on any regulated methodology, but it looks authoritative, and a low one next to your name is exactly the kind of thing a hiring manager half-remembers.
Before you start
- Get your profile URL first. Search your name on mylife.com, find your listing, and copy the link to it (right-click → copy link address). It helps in every removal path. Avoid clicking deep into the profile, you don't need to, and the site is built to upsell.
- Use an email address you can check. The form validates it, and MyLife says it emails you a confirmation when the deletion is complete. It also unsubscribes that address and deletes any MyLife account registered with it.
- Have your birth year ready. The form requires it to find the right profile.
- Expect a wait. For opt-out of sale, MyLife says it processes requests within 15 business days; for deletion it says only "within the legally required time frames". Don't panic when it's not gone in 72 hours like the others.
Path 1: The privacy request form (recommended)
Step 1: Find and copy your profile URL
Search your first and last name at mylife.com. When your listing appears, copy its link. If you have multiple listings (name variants, old cities), collect each URL.
Step 2: Open the privacy request form
Go to mylife.com/privacyrequest, titled "Deletion and Opt Out of Sale of Personal Information". (MyLife's older CCPA form URL now returns a 404; this is the current one. If it moves again, the "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link in the site footer opens the live form.) MyLife says any listing that matches your information will be permanently removed, not just hidden.
Step 3: Submit the request
Choose your state, then fill in your first and last name, street address, city, state, ZIP, email, and birth year. Middle initial, maiden name or alias, and your profile URL are optional, but the URL helps MyLife find the right record when several people share your name. Complete the "verify that you are human" check and submit.
Step 4: Watch your inbox
The form says MyLife emails a confirmation once the deletion is complete. If an email asks you to verify your address first, follow it, so the request is not left waiting.
Path 2: Email
Write to privacy@mylife.com, the address MyLife's form names for privacy requests (for general help, its form names Customer Care at membersupport@mylife.com). Include your full name, the profile URL(s), and a clear statement: you are requesting removal of your personal information and opting out of the sale of your data under applicable privacy laws, including the CCPA. Keep the email, it's your paper trail if the listing lingers. MyLife's form also gives a postal route: MyLife.com, Inc., Attn: Privacy, 907 Westwood Blvd. (#359), Los Angeles, CA 90024-2905.
Having someone file for you
MyLife's form says you may use an authorized agent to submit an opt-out request, as long as you give the agent written permission signed by you and the agent provides that proof when it submits. (It does not say the same about deletion requests.) That is how Defynta's Silver plan files MyLife for subscribers: by email to privacy@mylife.com, sending your signed authorization with the request.
Path 3: Phone
Call 1-888-704-1900 (business hours, Pacific time). Have your profile URL ready, state that you want your profile removed and your data opted out of sale, and decline any membership pitch. Ask for a reference number if offered.
How long does removal take?
MyLife states 15 business days for opt-out of sale and gives no number for deletion. If nothing has changed after three weeks, escalate: send the email version referencing your original request date, and mention your rights under the CCPA explicitly. That phrase gets attention.
Verify the removal
After two to three weeks, search your name on mylife.com in a private window. Check name variations. Also google your name site:mylife.com, removed profiles can linger in search-engine caches for a few weeks after they're gone from the site itself.
Why your listing can come back
Like most people-search sites, MyLife can list you again as fresh public-record batches arrive. Assume a re-check every three to six months is part of the deal, or hand it to Defynta's Web Watcher. Silver subscribers can turn on monitoring, which rescans MyLife and the other sites we read every 30 days by default and emails you when a listing comes back.

Frequently asked questions
MyLife wants me to pay to "fix" my Reputation Score. Do I have to?
No. Never pay MyLife to remove or manage your own data. Removal is free under privacy law. The subscription pitch and the scary score are two halves of the same funnel.
Is the Reputation Score real?
It's not based on any regulated or audited methodology. It's a proprietary number designed to make you (and people searching you) care. The reliable fix isn't disputing the score, it's removing the profile.
Can MyLife refuse my request because I'm not in California?
MyLife's form names the states whose laws give these rights (including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Virginia) and says it offers the same options to residents of other states at its discretion. The form asks for your state; submit it whichever state you live in.
I live in California. Can I use DROP instead?
California's free DROP platform lets a California resident send one deletion request to the more than 600 data brokers registered with the state. California's registry (read October 18, 2026) lists mylife.com as the website of Insightbridge LLC. Since August 1, 2026, registered brokers must check DROP at least once every 45 days, and the state says a status update in DROP can take up to 90 days. MyLife's own form states 15 business days for an opt-out of sale, and the state lists public records, such as real estate ownership and voting records, among the data a broker may keep, so send the privacy request form above too and check the profile afterward. More in our California Delete Act guide. (DROP details checked against privacy.ca.gov on October 18, 2026.)
The profile is gone but still shows in Google. What now?
Give Google a few weeks to recrawl, or use the "Refresh Outdated Content" tool with the dead profile URL to expedite it.
