🛡️ MyLife Opt-Out Guide (2025-2026 Edition)

MyLife is a data broker that compiles "Reputation Profiles" including a proprietary Reputation Score. Unlike other brokers, MyLife often requires a two-part verification process (online form + email code) to successfully suppress your data.

📋 Overview

• Processing Time: 7–15 days for full removal.
• Difficulty: Medium (requires a profile URL and verification code).
• Requirements: Your profile URL and a valid email address.

🛠️ Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Find Your Profile URL

1. Go to MyLife.com.
2. Enter your First Name, Last Name, and City/State in the search bar.
3. Browse the search results to find your listing.
4. Crucial: Do not click on the profile. Instead, right-click on your name/listing and select "Copy Link Address".

   Your URL should look like: https://www.mylife.com/john-doe/e123456789

Step 2: Access the Opt-Out Portal

1. Navigate directly to the MyLife Privacy/CCPA page: 👉 https://www.mylife.com/ccpa/index.pubview
2. If you are starting from the footer, look for the link "Do Not Sell My Personal Information".

Step 3: Initial Submission & Email Verification

1. Enter your First Name, Last Name, and Email Address.
2. Solve the CAPTCHA and click "Continue".
3. Check your email immediately. MyLife will send a Verification Code.
4. Return to the MyLife page, enter the code, and click "Submit Code".

Step 4: Final Form Completion

1. After entering the code, a second part of the form will appear.
2. Paste the Profile URL you copied in Step 1 into the "Enter the profile URL" box.
3. Fill in any other required fields (usually just confirming your name/state again).
4. Click the "Opt Out" button at the bottom.
5. You should see a green confirmation message stating your request has been received.

📧 Alternative Method (If Form Fails)

If the website form is glitchy (a common issue with MyLife), you can email their privacy team directly:

• Email: privacy@mylife.com or membersupport@mylife.com
• Subject: Opt-Out Request: [Your Full Name]
• Message: "I am requesting the permanent removal of my profile from MyLife.com. My profile URL is [Link]. Please confirm once this is completed."

💡 Pro-Tips for Notion Users

• Reputation Score Check: Note your Reputation Score in your Notion database before opting out. After 15 days, search for yourself again to ensure the score is no longer publicly visible.
• Network Check: MyLife often powers other smaller sites like AddressBook.com. Opting out of MyLife usually covers these subsidiaries automatically.
• Follow-up: Because MyLife's system is prone to errors, set a Notion reminder for 2 weeks later to search for your name. If the profile still exists, send the follow-up email mentioned above.
