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.

MyLife CCPA Request → - 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
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
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
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.

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.
