How to Remove Yourself from MyLife

MyLife is one of the worst data brokers. They don't just list your personal data. They assign you a "reputation score" that can make you look bad even if you have a clean record. The score is generated by an algorithm nobody understands, and it shows up when people search your name. Removing yourself from MyLife is harder than most brokers because they really don't want you to leave. They'll try to upsell you a subscription during the process. Don't fall for it.

> What to do

  1. 1

    Go to the CCPA removal page

    Navigate to MyLife's CCPA data removal page. Don't go through their main site or you'll get funneled into a signup flow. Use the direct link to their privacy request form.

    MyLife CCPA Request
  2. 2

    Submit a data deletion request

    Fill out the CCPA request form. Select "Delete My Personal Information" as the request type. Provide your name and email address. You're exercising your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, which applies regardless of where you live.

  3. 3

    Verify your identity

    MyLife will send a verification email. Click the confirmation link. They might ask additional verification questions based on your public records. Answer them to proceed.

  4. 4

    Ignore the upsell

    During the process, MyLife may try to sell you a "reputation monitoring" subscription. Ignore it completely. You don't need to pay them to stop showing your data. Just proceed with the free removal.

  5. 5

    Follow up if needed

    MyLife can take up to 45 days to process CCPA requests (the legal maximum). If your profile is still showing after 45 days, send a follow-up email to their support referencing your original request and the CCPA.

  6. 6

    Document everything

    Take screenshots of your submission and any confirmation emails. MyLife has a reputation for being difficult about removals. Having documentation helps if you need to escalate to the California AG or file a complaint.

> Where MyLife gets your data

MyLife aggregates data from public records, court records, property records, social media, and commercial data providers. What makes them unique (and infuriating) is the "reputation score" they assign to every profile. This score is algorithmically generated and can damage your perceived reputation even if you've never had legal trouble. They've faced multiple lawsuits over their practices, including a $21 million FTC fine in 2023.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MyLife's "reputation score"?
It's a number MyLife assigns to your profile based on public records, court data, and other factors. The algorithm is opaque, and the score can be misleading. It's not an official metric used by anyone else, but it shows up prominently when people search your name.
Why is MyLife so hard to opt out of?
MyLife's business model depends on people being concerned about their reputation score and paying for monitoring. They have a financial incentive to make opt-out difficult and push you toward a paid subscription instead.
Can I sue MyLife for my reputation score?
MyLife has been successfully sued before. The FTC fined them $21 million in 2023 for deceptive practices. If your score is causing real harm, consult a lawyer about your options under the CCPA or other privacy laws.
How long does MyLife take to remove my data?
Under the CCPA, they have 45 days to respond. In practice, it can take the full 45 days. Some users report faster processing, but don't count on it.
