How to Remove Your MyLife Profile
MyLife is the people-search site people write angry reviews about. There is no reliable one-click removal, and it publishes an invented “Reputation Score” next to your name. Here is the approach that actually works: three channels, filed on the same day.
What MyLife actually publishes
Alongside the usual address history, age, phone numbers and relatives, MyLife attaches a numeric “Reputation Score” to your name — a figure it generates itself, presented with the visual authority of a credit score, implying something is wrong with you unless you pay to see what.
The company has drawn repeated regulatory and legal scrutiny over its billing and subscription practices. That context matters for one practical reason: never pay them anything, including for any “privacy” or “reputation management” product they offer you during removal.
- Do not create an account to “claim” or “manage” your profile. That converts you from a scraped record into a consenting user, and it is materially harder to argue for deletion afterwards.
- Do not pay for anything. Not a subscription, not a one-off, not an “expedited removal”. Removal is a right you already have and it is free.
Use all three channels on the same day
Because there is no dependable single form, the effective strategy is redundancy. Do not try one, wait a fortnight, then try the next. File all three at once and let whichever lands first, land.
Channel A — the privacy form
- Find your profile on mylife.com and copy the URL.
- Scroll to the site footer and look for the privacy link — usually labelled Privacy Policy, CCPA, or Do Not Sell My Personal Information.
- Submit a deletion request there, including your exact profile URL.
- Screenshot the confirmation screen. You will likely need it.
Channel B — email
Send a short, factual request to privacy@mylife.com.
Subject: Formal Request for Deletion and Opt-Out of Sale — [Your Full Name]
I am a resident of [STATE]. I am exercising my right to request deletion of my personal information and to opt out of its sale or sharing.
Record to be removed: [FULL NAME] / [CITY, STATE] / [EXACT PROFILE URL]
Please delete this record and add my identifiers to your suppression list so it is not republished on your next data refresh. Please confirm in writing when this is complete.
Attach nothing. Include the URL, your name, and the city and state on the listing — nothing else. Short and unemotional gets processed; long and angry gets deprioritised.
Channel C — phone
Call their customer service line, listed in the site footer. Ask directly for removal of the listing at the URL you have. Write down the date, the time, and the name of whoever you spoke to.
This channel produces results more often than people expect, precisely because it is the one nobody uses.
What to expect
Realistically 7 to 14 days, sometimes longer. This is slower than WhitePages or Spokeo, and it is normal. Do not re-file every two days — that resets nothing and clogs the queue.
Check in a private window after two weeks, searching both your name and any name variants.
When they ignore you
If nothing has happened after 14 days, escalate. This is where the screenshot and the call notes earn their keep.
- Second request by email, referencing the date and method of the first, stating that the statutory response period has elapsed, and requiring written confirmation within seven days.
- Regulator complaint. In the US, the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and your state Attorney General’s consumer protection office. California residents can also complain to the CPPA. In the UK, the ICO.
- A public, factual post. Their support account on X, or an accurate review. Compliance timelines improve noticeably when a request is visible. Keep it factual — an accurate complaint is protected in a way an exaggerated one is not.
Copy-paste requests for standard US state law, GDPR Article 17, second-request escalation and regulator complaints — plus the other sixty-eight sites, in the order that wastes the least time.
Getting the result out of Google
Once the MyLife page is genuinely gone, the Google result will linger until the next crawl. Use Google’s Remove Outdated Content tool — it is open to anyone, not just site owners — and the stale result usually clears within a day or two.
If the page still exists but your details have been scrubbed from it, the same tool will refresh the cached snippet. Provide a word that used to appear on the page and no longer does, usually your street name.
