MyLife opt-out questions

How do I remove my name from MyLife?

Open MyLife's opt-out page at mylife.com, find the listing that matches you, and submit the removal request. You then confirm the request by clicking a link that arrives by email. The whole process takes about 10 minutes and costs nothing. The step-by-step version is above.

How long does the MyLife opt-out take?

Submitting the request takes about 10 minutes. After that, MyLife typically removes the listing within typically within 15 days (sometimes 24 to 48 hours). If your profile is still visible after that window, search your name again - you may have a second listing that needs its own request.

Is the MyLife opt-out permanent?

Not reliably. MyLife rebuilds profiles from public records and aggregators, so a removed listing can return; re-check after a couple of weeks and re-submit if it reappears. Treat removal as maintenance rather than a one-time fix: re-search your name every few months and repeat the opt-out for anything new.

Do I need an account to opt out of MyLife?

No. MyLife's opt-out works without registering or signing in, and you never need to pay. If something asks you for card details to remove your data, you are not on the real opt-out page.

Is it free to remove my information from MyLife?

Yes. MyLife's opt-out is free, and so is every other major US people-search opt-out. Paid removal services are worth considering for the volume of sites they cover and the re-checking they do, but they file these same free requests on your behalf - they do not unlock anything you cannot do yourself.

What does MyLife show about me?

A typical MyLife listing can include full name and age, current and past addresses, phone numbers, a Reputation Score and Reputation Profile, and relatives and associates. Exactly what appears varies by person and by how much of it has reached public records.

Why does MyLife need my email address to remove my data?

It uses the email only to confirm that the request came from you, which stops strangers from deleting each other's listings. Consider using an alias address if you would rather not hand MyLife a live inbox. The confirmation link often lands in spam, and on most brokers it expires within a day or two.
