My Life Opt Out Guide
MyLife often shows not only your contact details but also “reputation scores,” which can feel unfair or misleading. Luckily, you can remove yourself by completing their opt-out steps, which we’ll guide you through here. If you’d prefer an easier option, Vanish Me will take care of MyLife removals — and dozens of other data brokers — automatically.
What is My Life?
MyLife is a people search website and data broker founded in 2002, originally under the name Reunion.com. The platform is headquartered in Los Angeles, California, and is known for publishing not only personal details but also so-called “reputation scores” based on aggregated data.
MyLife compiles information from public records, social networks, and marketing databases. A profile on MyLife may display your age, addresses, phone numbers, relatives, employment history, and more. The site also assigns a “reputation score” to individuals, which has drawn criticism for being misleading and potentially harmful.
While MyLife markets its services for reconnecting with people and evaluating online reputations, it has faced multiple lawsuits and regulatory actions over deceptive practices and consumer protection violations. The site is not FCRA-compliant, meaning its reports cannot legally be used for employment or housing decisions. Because of its controversial scoring system and exposure of sensitive personal data, many people seek to opt out of MyLife to better safeguard their online reputation and privacy.
How to Remove Your Information from MyLife (Step by Step)
Step 1: You’ll need to navigate to My Life’s FAQ’s to get the updated link/instructions for removing your information. Head to MyLife.com and scroll down to the footer. Select “FAQs”.
Step 2: Next, find the correct FAQ. Navigate and click on “How can I have my Reputation Profile removed, ask what personal information you maintain about me, or ask to opt-out of the sale of my personal information?”
Step 3: Send an email to their customer care representative at membersupport@mylife.com
Here’s an email template that you can use:
Subject: Request for Removal of Personal Information from MyLife
Dear MyLife Privacy Team,
I am writing to formally request the removal of my personal information and profile(s) from your website, MyLife.com. My details are being published without my consent, and I wish to exercise my rights under applicable privacy laws to have this information deleted.
Here are the details of the profile:
Full Name: [Your Full Name]
Date of Birth: [Your DOB]
Profile URL(s): [Paste exact profile link(s) from MyLife]
Email Address: [Your email address]
Please confirm in writing once my information has been removed from your database and is no longer publicly accessible.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
[Your Contact Email]
Step 4: Next, we will submit their “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” web form, here. Fill out the required information then submit.
Step 5: You may be asked for some additional information, like below. Enter the info and select “Opt Out”.
Step 6: Once you submit everything, MyLife will send a verification code to your email inbox. Submit the code once received.
Step 7: After the code has been submitted, some green text will pop up under the button, confirming that your information removal request has been processed.
Step 8: Finally, you should receive an email from MyLife stating that their administrator has approved the request to remove your information. It’ll look like this:
How Long Does MyLife Take to Remove Your Info?
MyLife generally processes opt-out requests within 7–10 business days. Because the site publishes not just personal details but also “reputation scores,” it may take slightly longer for profiles to be updated or removed entirely. Unfortunately, MyLife often republishes information as its database is refreshed. That means you may need to monitor and re-submit opt-outs over time. To make this easier, Vanish Me can continuously monitor MyLife and automatically remove your listings whenever they come back.
