You can remove your MyLife profile for free, but not through a quick web form — MyLife has historically offered no reliable self-serve opt-out tool. The working routes are direct: call MyLife customer care at 888-704-1900 and request removal of your profile, or submit a written privacy request (via the contact channels in MyLife’s privacy policy, including its CCPA process) identifying your profile URL and asking for deletion. MyLife generally states removals process within seven to ten business days. It’s worth the phone call: MyLife is unique among data brokers in packaging your records as a “Reputation Profile” with a public “Reputation Score” — a framing that makes an unmanaged listing look like a verdict on your character. Here’s the full process and the context you should have before you start.
What does MyLife publish about you?
A MyLife profile assembles the standard broker fields — name and aliases, age, current and past addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, relatives — and adds its signature layer: a “Reputation Score” and profile sections implying court, arrest, or lien records may exist, visible in previews to anyone searching your name. That presentation is the problem. Where a Whitepages listing exposes your address, a MyLife page editorializes — employers, dates, or clients see what looks like a graded background report. Worth knowing: in 2020 the Justice Department, on the FTC’s referral, sued MyLife over deceptive teaser reports and billing practices; the company settled in 2021 under an order with a roughly $21 million judgment. The site still operates, and profiles still appear automatically from aggregated public records and commercial data. Removing yours is suppression on this site only; the underlying records keep feeding Spokeo, Radaris, and the rest of the ecosystem.
Anyone can request removal of their own profile at no cost. You do not need a MyLife account, and you should not create one or buy a subscription to “manage” your own listing.
How to remove yourself from MyLife, step by step
- Find your profile. Search your name at mylife.com by city and state. Copy each matching profile’s full URL — name variants and old addresses often generate more than one.
- Call 888-704-1900. Ask the representative to remove your profile. Have ready: your full name as listed, age or date of birth, current city and state, and the profile URL. State clearly that you want the profile removed and your information deleted, not just edited.
- Or submit a written request. Use the privacy contact channels in MyLife’s privacy policy — including its CCPA/state-privacy request process if you’re a covered resident — identifying the profile URLs and requesting deletion. Written requests create a paper trail, which matters if you need to escalate.
- Note the date and the representative’s confirmation. A record of when and what you requested anchors any follow-up.
- Verify after two weeks. Search yourself on MyLife again. If the profile persists, follow up in writing referencing your original request — persistence, politely documented, is what closes these out.
- Re-check quarterly. New source data can rebuild a profile; catching it early keeps the profile out of your search results.
How long does MyLife removal take?
Plan on seven to ten business days from a completed request, and expect that a follow-up may be needed. Google then needs to re-crawl the dead page before it stops appearing in results — days to weeks, which you can shorten by submitting the removed URL through Google’s Refresh Outdated Content tool. Realistic end-to-end: two to six weeks. That’s slower than one-click brokers like TruePeopleSearch, and the phone-or-writing requirement is exactly why so many MyLife profiles never get removed at all.

Why do MyLife listings come back?
For the industry’s standard structural reasons: removal suppresses the profile that existed when you asked, while MyLife keeps ingesting public records and commercial data that can assemble a new profile later — after a move, a new phone number, a new record in your name. Variant profiles under maiden names or misspellings survive a removal aimed at your primary listing. And nothing about a MyLife removal touches the dozens of other brokers republishing the same records; the ecosystem keeps operating around whichever single site you cleaned. The lesson generalizes: opt-outs are real but perishable, and lasting privacy comes from suppressing the whole broker landscape on a maintained cycle. The complete approach is in our guide to removing personal data from the internet, with the broader cleanup covered in deleting yourself from the internet.
Or we handle 100+ brokers for you
MyLife is what the DIY route looks like at its most tedious: a phone call, a documented request, a follow-up, a re-check — for one site. Multiply by the hundred-plus brokers and people-search sites listing you, each with its own flow, and add the quarterly re-sweeps that re-listing makes necessary. Our data broker removal service carries that entire load: locating every profile under every variant, executing each site’s removal process (including the phone-and-paper-trail cases like MyLife), verifying results, and re-monitoring continuously so resurfaced records get suppressed again. For clients with standing exposure — executives, physicians, public figures, harassment targets — continuous suppression is built into our Protection Plans alongside monitoring and removal coverage.
Frequently asked questions
Is MyLife removal free?
Yes. Removal by phone or written privacy request costs nothing, and you should never buy a MyLife subscription to control your own profile — paying the company that published your data to manage it is the model federal regulators took action against.
Is the MyLife “Reputation Score” accurate?
No — it’s an automated artifact of aggregated records, not an assessment by anyone who knows you, and MyLife’s teaser framing was central to the DOJ/FTC action it settled in 2021. Treat it as a search-results problem to remove, not a score to improve.
Do I have to call, or can I do everything in writing?
Both routes work. The call at 888-704-1900 is usually faster; the written privacy request creates the documentation that matters if you need to escalate — for a stubborn profile, do both.
Can MyLife legally publish my information without my consent?
In most of the U.S., yes — republishing public records and commercially traded data is lawful, which is why removal runs through opt-out requests rather than courts. State privacy laws like the CCPA add enforceable deletion rights for covered residents, and the FCRA prohibits using MyLife for employment or tenant screening.
What if my profile comes back after removal?
Repeat the request, referencing your prior one — a returned profile is technically a new record built from newer data. If you’d rather not own that cycle, continuous re-monitoring and re-suppression across all brokers is exactly what our managed service does.
Should I remove MyLife first or start with easier sites?
Triage by visibility: whichever profiles rank on page one for your name come first, and MyLife’s reputation framing often earns it that priority. Knock out the five-minute opt-outs the same day, then work the phone-and-letter cases like this one.
A MyLife profile is the broker listing most likely to be read as a judgment of you — and it’s removable, free, starting with one phone call today. Keeping it and a hundred other listings from coming back is the maintained work we take on. Request a free, confidential Exposure Scan to see your full exposure, or review how our process works first.
