How to remove yourself
1
Go to mylife.com/ccpa/index.pubview -- MyLife's CCPA opt-out page.
Note: MyLife is known for dark patterns. Ignore any upsells or prompts to 'claim your profile' -- go directly to the opt-out page.
2
Search for yourself using your name and location.
3
Click on your profile and click "Opt Out" or "Remove from MyLife".
4
You will be asked to provide your email address to verify your identity.
5
MyLife may ask you to verify your identity by phone. Enter the code received.
Note: This step is to confirm you are the person in the listing, not a third party.
6
Submit the removal request. Processing takes 1-2 weeks.
Note: MyLife's processing is among the slowest of any major data broker.
Will your data reappear on MyLife?
Yes. MyLife actively re-aggregates removed data. Many users find data returns within 30-60 days.
Things to watch out for
- ! MyLife is notorious for dark patterns -- the site encourages you to "claim" your profile instead of removing it.
- ! Claiming your profile does NOT remove it; it only gives you editing access.
- ! "Reputation scores" are generated by MyLife's algorithm and are not regulated -- they can be negative even for people with clean records.
- ! Phone verification is required, which means MyLife now has your verified phone number.
- ! Removal is slow and data frequently re-appears.
