What MyLife shows about you
MyLife can show your home address, age, relatives, reputation score and court records. MyLife is known for 'reputation profiles' that combine contact details with a score and court records, which many people find upsetting to discover.
Good to know
Its removal process has changed several times and isn't always consistent. Keep a copy of every email you send and the date, so you can follow up.
Or let undoleak handle MyLife for you
Finds every listing
We search MyLife for every profile tied to your name, phone, email and past addresses, including duplicates and family listings the opt-out form won't show you.
Files and confirms the opt-out
We submit the removal, handle the verification steps, and check that the listing is actually gone.
Watches for it coming back
People-search sites re-add records from public data. We recheck MyLife and file again whenever your listing returns.
Covers the copycat sites
The same records show up on other people-search sites. One scan covers them along with MyLife.
MyLife: frequently asked questions
Is it free to remove yourself from MyLife?
Yes. MyLife's opt-out is free. You never need to buy a report or a subscription to remove your information.
How long does MyLife take?
MyLife doesn't publish a timeframe. Search again after a few days, and follow up if your information is still there after two weeks.
Will my information come back on MyLife?
It can. MyLife keeps adding records from public and commercial sources, so a new listing can appear after a move, a new phone number or a data refresh. Check again every few months.
Does removing myself from MyLife remove me from Google?
Not right away. Google can show an old snippet until it recrawls the page. Once the MyLife page is gone, you can ask Google to refresh the result. See our Google removal guide.
