How to Get Removed From MyLife (2026 Guide)

MyLife has a reputation, in both senses of the word. Known for profiles that feature a reputation score and long lists of addresses, relatives and past associations, it is one of the people-search sites that readers write to us about most often. People find a listing, try to remove it and hit a process that is slower and less straightforward than the one-form opt-outs at some competitors. This guide explains what MyLife publishes, how to ask for removal, what to expect, how to check the results and how to stop the profile from returning, as of October 2026. Because company procedures change, always follow the current instructions on MyLife’s own privacy pages.

1. What MyLife publishes about you

A MyLife profile can include a mix of public-record and commercial information:

Your name and approximate age
Current and past addresses
Phone numbers and email addresses
Names of relatives and possible associates
Education and employment summaries
A numeric “reputation score” that visitors can see

The reputation score is the feature that sets MyLife apart. It presents an opaque number as a quick judgment of a person. For someone applying for a job, renting an apartment or dating, that number can create doubt without any context. Our overview of how background-check sites expose your information explains the risk of these summaries, and the article on why the web makes it too easy to find someone discusses the broader trend.

2. Why people want their MyLife profile removed

Safety. A profile that lists your home address and relatives helps a stalker or harasser. See how online information makes stalking easy.
Reputation. An unexplained score or inaccurate employment history can mislead people who search for you.
Scams. Fraudsters use profile details to make calls and messages credible. The FTC identified imposter scams as the most frequently reported type of fraud in 2025, with more than one million reports (FTC).
Privacy in general. Many people simply do not want a stranger to see their family and history in one place.

3. Before you start

Gather these items:

The URL of every MyLife profile that shows your information. Search your name and variations, and search your phone number and email.
A dedicated email address for the request, so replies do not get lost; see how to set up an alias email address.
A spreadsheet or document to log dates, messages and responses.
Patience: this is among the sites where follow-up is common.

4. How to get removed from MyLife, step by step

Step 1: Locate every profile

Search your full name along with your city or state on MyLife and in a search engine. Check name variations, maiden names and previous cities. Open each match and copy its web address.

Step 2: Find the current removal instructions

Open MyLife’s privacy policy and look for the section on removing or opting out of your information. Policies list the current email, form or phone options. Use the official channel only. Do not pay any third party who claims to remove MyLife profiles for a fee.

Step 3: Write a clear request

Send a message that includes your full name, the URL of each profile, the state where you live and an explicit request to delete and suppress each profile. Keep it short and factual. If you live in a state with a privacy law, cite your right to deletion.

Step 4: Verify your identity

MyLife may ask for details to confirm the profile is yours. Provide only what is needed to match the profile, and avoid sending copies of government ID unless you have confirmed the request is genuine and the channel is official.

Step 5: Save every confirmation

Keep copies of the emails, ticket numbers, screenshots of any forms and the date and time of each contact.

Step 6: Follow up

If you do not receive a reply within about a week, send a short follow-up that references your original message. Persistence is the norm here.

Step 7: Check the results

After the company confirms removal, search again for your name and for each profile URL. Then check Google for any cached copy.

Expert tip: Keep the tone neutral. A calm, specific request with URLs and a deadline is processed faster than an emotional complaint.

5. What to do if MyLife does not respond

Some people find that messages go unanswered. Escalate in a sensible order:

Resend. Use the same channel and quote your earlier message.
Try a second official channel. If the policy lists both email and a form, use both.
Cite your legal rights. If you live in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas or another state with a comprehensive privacy law, mention your right to deletion and to opt out of the sale of personal information. California residents can also use the state’s DROP platform, which sends one deletion request to registered data brokers that must start processing requests on August 1, 2026 (California Privacy Protection Agency).
File a complaint. You can report unfair or deceptive practices to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov and, where available, to your state attorney general.
Ask for help. A removal service may have an established channel; see are data removal companies worth the price.

6. Clean up Google and other copies

After the profile is gone, copies may persist.

Google cache. Use Google’s tools to request removal of outdated search results. Our walkthrough on removing your personal information from Google shows how.
Other search engines. Bing and others have their own forms; see how to delete your data from alternative search engines.
Partner and mirror sites. Some brokers feed the same data to other sites. Search for the address and phone number from the MyLife profile to find them.

7. Remove the other sites that carry the same data

MyLife is one outlet among many. A person who removes only MyLife is still on Spokeo, Whitepages and dozens more. Work through:

Site	Where to start
Spokeo	Step-by-step opt-out guide
Whitepages	Whitepages removal guide
Other people-search sites	Most popular people-search sites

8. Preventing a new MyLife profile

Brokers regenerate profiles when they ingest new data. To reduce the chance:

Use a secondary phone number and an alias email for sign-ups.
Avoid sweepstakes and survey entries; see the perils of sweepstakes.
Keep social profiles private.
Re-check at 30, 60 and 90 days.
Read why your information keeps getting re-added.

9. Three scenarios and how to handle them

Scenario 1: The profile lists a former address and relatives. Include every URL in one message and ask for removal of all of them. Also request that no new profile be generated under your name and addresses, and check relatives’ profiles, because they can still reveal you; see securing family member data online.

Scenario 2: The reputation score is hurting a job or housing search. Remove the profile first, then prepare a short factual explanation if someone raises it. Landlords and employers who rely on screening decisions are supposed to use regulated consumer reports, not people-search sites. If you were denied based on a report, you have rights to a copy and to dispute errors; the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau explains them at consumerfinance.gov.

Scenario 3: You are fleeing an abusive or stalking situation. Prioritize speed. Remove address-bearing profiles first, use a trusted person’s help for follow-up and read how to protect yourself from stalkers. Consider a service that can run the process in parallel across many sites.

10. What to expect: a realistic timeline

Stage	Typical timing
Send the removal request	Day 1
Acknowledgment or ticket number	A few days
Profile taken down	One to four weeks, longer if you have to follow up
Google snippet disappears	Days to weeks after takedown
First relisting check	30 days

11. Myths about MyLife removal

“Cancelling a MyLife account removes the public profile.” The public profile and a member account are different things; check both.
“The reputation score is my credit score.” It is not. MyLife is not a consumer reporting agency, and the score has no role in credit decisions.
“I can correct the information.” Editing usually requires an account and does not change the data on other sites.
“Once removed, always removed.” Not true; data returns when brokers import new records.

12. How Wiperts takes this off your plate

A slow, follow-up-heavy site like MyLife illustrates why many people stop halfway. Wiperts handles broker removals as part of its service: it scans more than 100 data brokers and people-search sites for your name, address and phone number, submits the removal requests, requests removal of personal results from Google and Bing, blurs your home on maps and monitors 24/7 to re-remove listings that reappear.

15. Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get my profile removed from MyLife?

Find your MyLife listing and note its URL, then use the privacy or removal contact options described in MyLife’s privacy policy to request deletion. Provide the information it asks for to verify your identity, keep copies of everything you send and check back after about a week to confirm the profile is gone.

What is the MyLife reputation score and can I remove it?

MyLife has displayed a numeric reputation score on some profiles, which visitors could see and which was marketed as a measure of how others perceive you. Removing the profile removes the score from public view, but you cannot edit a score into something you prefer without an account.

Why does MyLife make removal difficult?

Reports from consumers over the years describe a process that requires contacting the company directly and sometimes repeated follow-ups, instead of a single self-service form. Because procedures change, follow the instructions in MyLife’s current privacy policy and keep a written record of each contact.

Is MyLife legal?

People-search sites generally operate legally in the United States by compiling public records and commercial data. They are not consumer reporting agencies, which means their information cannot lawfully be used for credit, employment or housing decisions. Legal does not mean you must accept the listing.

Will deleting my MyLife profile remove me from Google?

Not immediately. Search engines may show a cached copy for days or weeks. After the profile is removed, request removal of the outdated result to speed this up.

Can my MyLife profile come back?

Yes. MyLife can generate a new profile if it imports fresh records for you. Check every 30 to 90 days and resubmit if needed, or use a monitoring service.
