How to remove yourself from MyLife

MyLife lists your name, employer, and a "reputation score." Here is how to opt out.

MyLife's opt-out works, but expects a human step along the way, not just a single click.

How to opt out of MyLife

  1. Search your name on MyLife and open your listing. Copy the profile page's web address.
  2. Go to the privacy request page (link below). Paste in your profile address, then enter your name, city, state, ZIP, and email.
  3. Solve the CAPTCHA and submit.
  4. Open the verification email from MyLife and click the link — the request is not active until you do.
  5. If MyLife asks for a photo ID to confirm your identity, black out your ID number first. It only needs your name and address to match the listing.

What MyLife collects

Name, address, employer, and its own "reputation score."

What we'd tell a friend

We flag this one deliberately. MyLife's standard privacy form only needs your name, address, and profile link. But it can ask for a photo ID on some removals, which no other people-search site here does. If it does, send a redacted copy: black out the ID number and photo. Because of that ID step, this is the one broker here we won't automate — it's a by-hand job.

Why this can come back

Most people-search and aggregator sites re-crawl their public-record sources on a rolling basis. An opt-out removes today's listing; it doesn't stop the site from re-pulling your record the next time it refreshes. That's the reason removal is something you check on periodically, not a one-time task — see our full removal guide for the re-listing mechanics in detail.

Frequently asked questions

Does MyLife require a photo ID to opt out? #
Not always. The standard privacy form needs only your name, address, and profile link. MyLife can ask for a photo ID to confirm your identity on some removals — if it does, black out the ID number before sending.
How long does MyLife removal take? #
MyLife states about 14 business days, though it can stretch to a few weeks. Save your profile link and check back after two weeks to confirm the listing is gone.
