Step-by-step guide

Find your profile

Search for your name on mylife.com to find your public profile page. Note the URL.

Use the CCPA/privacy request form

Go to mylife.com/ccpa/index.pubview and submit a request to delete your personal information. This uses your rights under California privacy law (CCPA), which MyLife honors regardless of your state.

Provide identity verification

MyLife may ask you to verify your identity. Be prepared to provide your name, email, and possibly a phone number.

💡 If the online form doesn't work, call (888) 704-1900 (Mon–Fri 6am–5pm PST) or email privacy@mylife.com with your removal request and a link to your profile.

Follow up if needed

If you don't see your profile removed within 10 days, send a follow-up email to privacy@mylife.com referencing your original request.

Consider filing a complaint

If MyLife doesn't honor your request, you can file a complaint with the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov.

💡 MyLife has been sued by the FTC before for deceptive practices. They generally comply with removal requests to avoid more regulatory trouble.

Important to know

  • MyLife has a history of making opt-outs difficult. Be persistent.
  • The "Reputation Score" feature has been criticized as exploitative — removing your profile removes this score.
  • MyLife may try to upsell you on a paid membership during the process. You do NOT need to pay to opt out.
