To opt out of MyLife.com in 2026, submit the CCPA removal request at mylife.com/privacyrequest, verify by email, and wait 1-2 weeks for your profile and Reputation Score to disappear. The old /ccpa/index.pubview URL now 404s — this is the current path. MyLife re-lists profiles every 3-6 months, so plan to check back or use PrivacyOn to keep them off permanently.
What Information Does MyLife Collect?
MyLife aggregates an unusually broad range of personal data compared to other data brokers. A typical MyLife profile may include:
- Full name, maiden names, and known aliases
- Date of birth and age
- Current and previous addresses
- Phone numbers and email addresses
- Social media accounts and online profiles
- Financial information — including estimated income and net worth
- Family members and relatives
- Criminal records and court filings
- Photos scraped from the web
- A public "Reputation Score" — a numerical rating assigned by MyLife's algorithm
MyLife sources this data from public records, social media platforms, commercial data aggregators, and user-submitted information. The Reputation Score is particularly concerning because it can be influenced by unverified reviews left by anonymous users, and it appears prominently whenever someone searches for your name.
Step 1: Find Your Profile on MyLife
Go to mylife.com and enter your first and last name plus your city or state in the search bar. Click Search. Scroll the results and click into your listing to confirm the age, city, and relatives match — MyLife often has multiple profiles for people with common names.
Step 2: Copy Your Profile URL
Once you have the correct profile open, copy the URL from your browser's address bar. You will paste this exact URL into MyLife's removal form in the next step. Save it somewhere accessible in case you need to resubmit.
Step 3: Submit the CCPA Privacy Request
Navigate to https://www.mylife.com/privacyrequest — this is MyLife's current data-removal request page. The old /ccpa/index.pubview URL from 2024-2025 now returns a 404. On the request form:
- Select the request type: Delete My Information
- Paste your profile URL in the designated field
- Enter your email address (use one you can access — verification is mandatory)
- Complete the I'm not a robot CAPTCHA
- Submit the form

Step 4: Verify Your Request by Email
Check your inbox for a verification message from MyLife (check spam if you don't see it within an hour). Click the verification link. Your removal request will not process without this step — many people miss it and assume the opt-out failed.
Step 5: Wait for Processing and Verify Removal
MyLife acknowledges CCPA requests within 24-48 hours. Full profile removal typically takes 1-2 weeks. After 15 days, search for your name on MyLife again to verify the profile is gone. If it still appears, follow the email fallback in the callout below.
Fallback: Email Removal Request
If the web form errors out or your profile doesn't disappear after 2 weeks, email privacy@mylife.com or customercare@mylife.com with your full name and a direct link to your MyLife profile. Under CCPA, MyLife is legally required to honor written removal requests. You can also call customer service at 1-888-704-1900 during Pacific business hours.
Important Notes and Gotchas
- Your data will likely reappear. MyLife re-lists profiles every 3-6 months as it re-scrapes public records. A one-time opt-out is not a permanent fix — you need ongoing monitoring.
- MyLife has a poor BBB track record. The Better Business Bureau has logged thousands of complaints. Be persistent if the first request stalls.
- The Reputation Score cannot be removed separately. Full profile deletion removes the score. There is no way to keep the profile visible while stripping the score.
- Do NOT create a MyLife account. The site prompts you to "claim" your profile — this gives them additional verified data and complicates future removals.
- Removal is free. Under CCPA and GDPR you are legally entitled to data removal at no cost. Never pay MyLife or a third party for a basic opt-out.
How PrivacyOn Automates MyLife Removal
Dealing with MyLife's opt-out is frustrating on its own — but MyLife is one of hundreds of brokers with your information. Each site has its own form, its own timeline, and its own tendency to re-list. Manual removal doesn't scale.
PrivacyOn eliminates the entire headache by automating removal across every major broker, including MyLife:
- Full data broker coverage — 100+ sites including MyLife, Spokeo, BeenVerified, Whitepages, and more
- Handles the entire workflow — form submission, email verification, follow-up, all managed for you
- Ongoing re-removal — when MyLife re-lists (and it will), our system detects it and resubmits automatically
- Reputation protection — keeping data off MyLife protects both your privacy and your public reputation score
MyLife's tendency to reassemble profiles makes one-shot manual removal ineffective in the long run. PrivacyOn provides the continuous, automated protection you need — plans start at $8.33/month with family coverage for up to 5 people. Start with a free scan to see if MyLife has a profile on you right now.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does MyLife take to remove your profile?
MyLife acknowledges CCPA requests within 24-48 hours. Full profile removal typically takes 1-2 weeks after you verify the request by email. If your profile is still visible 15 days after verification, follow up by emailing privacy@mylife.com with your request ID.
Can you remove just the Reputation Score without deleting the profile?
No. MyLife's Reputation Score is generated for every profile automatically. There is no toggle to hide the score while keeping the profile visible — full profile deletion is the only path, and when the profile disappears the score goes with it.
Will my MyLife profile come back after opt-out?
Usually yes. MyLife re-lists profiles every 3-6 months as it re-scrapes public records, court filings, and commercial data feeds. Manual opt-out is a temporary fix. Services like PrivacyOn detect re-listings and auto-resubmit removal requests to keep you off permanently.
Do I have to pay MyLife to remove my data?
No — never pay MyLife or anyone else for a basic opt-out. Under CCPA (California) and GDPR (EU), MyLife is legally required to honor free removal requests. Any "premium removal" or "reputation management" upsell from MyLife itself is not necessary.
What is the current MyLife opt-out URL?
The current URL is https://www.mylife.com/privacyrequest. The older /ccpa/index.pubview URL circulated in 2024 and 2025 opt-out guides now returns a 404 error and no longer works.
Can I opt out by phone if the form doesn't work?
Yes. Call MyLife customer service at 1-888-704-1900 during Pacific business hours. Have your profile URL, full name, and date of birth ready. Phone requests take longer to process and leave less of a paper trail than the email or form methods, so use them only as a fallback.
