How to remove yourself from MyLife

What MyLife shows about you

MyLife publishes profiles that include a reputation-style score and offers paid membership features. Its opt-out has changed over the years, and independent guides disagree on the details, so this is the least certain guide in the series.

A listing there can include your name, age range, locations, relatives and a reputation-style score that guides describe, with more behind a paid membership. The exact fields vary from person to person, and the free view usually shows less than a paid one.

How we checked this guide

MyLife blocked our automated tools on every page we tried, so we could not read its opt-out or privacy page. The routes below come from independent guides, which disagree in places. Use the contact details on mylife.com itself as the source of truth, and treat this guide as a map of what to look for. Last checked October 30, 2026.

How to remove yourself from MyLife for free

The free route is the one to try first. Here are the steps, in order. The official address is mylife.com (privacy and opt-out page).

• Search for your profile on mylife.com and copy its web address. Guides tell you to right-click the listing and copy the link address.
• Look in the site footer for the privacy, Do Not Sell or opt-out link and open that page. Guides describe a request form with required fields marked by an asterisk, where you paste your profile address.
• Fill in the form with a dedicated email address and submit it.
• Several guides describe an alternative of emailing the MyLife member support address with your name and the details of the listing. Use only the address shown on the MyLife site, since we could not confirm it ourselves.
• Watch your inbox for a confirmation or a request for more information, and reply promptly.
• Search for yourself again after a couple of weeks. One guide describes the profile being removed within about 15 days of an emailed request, which is that guide's figure and not one we could verify.

Use a dedicated email address for this and not your main one, and do not send a copy of your ID unless you have confirmed you are on the real site and there is no other way. Keep a spreadsheet with the date and the listing address for each request.

How long does MyLife removal take?

We could not verify a processing time from MyLife. A third-party guide mentions about 15 days for an emailed request. Treat that as unconfirmed and check back after a few weeks.

Things to know before you start

• Guides say that suppressing the profile also removes the associated reputation score, so there is no separate step for that. We could not confirm this on MyLife's own site.
• Some guides warn that MyLife can be slow or require follow-up. Keep records of every message you send.
• Be careful with any prompt to sign up or pay on the way to an opt-out. Opting out should not require a paid membership.

Will your MyLife listing come back?

It can. People-search sites build listings from public records and purchased data, and they refresh that data. If your information shows up in a new batch, a listing you removed can be created again. We are not aware of a reliable published figure for how often that happens, so be suspicious of anyone who quotes one.

A sensible routine is to search for yourself a few weeks after your request, then every few months. If you move, change your phone number or buy a home, expect new records. The same record also sits on many other sites, so clearing MyLife does not clear the rest. Our guide to removing personal information from the internet covers the other sites, Google results and the legal tools that exist where you live.

If you would rather not do it yourself

Doing this by hand across many sites, then repeating it, is tedious. Data-removal services sell that repetition as a subscription. One of them is DeleteMe, the service we link, and we earn a commission if you sign up through the links marked Affiliate link. We have not tested DeleteMe, and the details below come from DeleteMe's own pages as we read them on October 30, 2026.

We could not confirm from DeleteMe's pages whether MyLife is covered by every plan. Check DeleteMe's current list of covered sites before you buy, especially if MyLife is the site you care about.

• What it says it does: you give it your details, and according to its site its team searches hundreds of data brokers and people-search sites, submits opt-out and removal requests and keeps monitoring and removing your information regularly, all year long.
• Price: DeleteMe's help center describes the solo plan as about $11 a month, billed annually at $129, for one person for one year. Plans renew automatically unless you cancel, and prices change, so check the live page.
• Our link's discount: the page our US link opens advertises 20% off all privacy protection plans with the code PARTNER20, valid for new members only on USA consumer plans. See the current DeleteMe offer (Affiliate link).

Removal services reduce how easy you are to find. They do not make you anonymous and they do not promise that a listing will never return. If you decide to look at it, see the DeleteMe plans (Affiliate link). If you prefer not to pay, the free steps above are enough to do the job for MyLife.
