How to Remove Your Information from MyLife
MyLife assigns nearly everyone a public "Reputation Score" profile, often paired with an alarming free preview designed to push a paid membership. Here's the part MyLife's own marketing won't tell you upfront: paying doesn't remove your profile at all — only the free privacy request actually does.

What is MyLife
MyLife.com assigns a public "Reputation Score" (on a 0-5 scale) to nearly everyone, typically paired with a free preview page that can imply the existence of criminal, arrest, or sex-offender records — even when none exist — before pushing visitors toward a paid background-report membership.
What a paid membership actually does — and doesn't do — is worth understanding before you pay for anything on the site, discussed further below.
How to remove yourself
There's a free removal path that's entirely separate from any paid membership — and it's the only one that actually gets a profile taken down, per the finding below.
- 1
Find your profile and copy its URL
Search your name on MyLife, open your profile, and copy the exact URL.
- 2
Submit the free privacy request
Go to mylife.com/privacyrequest and enter your profile URL along with your name, city, state, ZIP, and email.
- 3
Confirm by email
Click the confirmation link MyLife sends to that email address. Third-party reports put typical processing around 10-15 business days, though MyLife hasn't published an official SLA.
Why paying for membership doesn't fix this
This is the single most important thing to know about MyLife: purchasing a paid membership does not remove or delete your profile page.
It only lets you hide certain fields or customer reviews from public view — the underlying profile stays live and searchable. That distinction is worth reading twice before paying for anything on the site expecting it to make your profile disappear.
Complaint records back this up: MyLife holds an F rating with the Better Business Bureau across 393 complaints, the large majority with no recorded business response, and a 1.1 out of 5 average across roughly 1,395 ConsumerAffairs reviews. Independent trackers rate the actual free opt-out as difficult (DeleteMe scores it 4 out of 5), and listings have been reported to resurface after removal — consistent with a company whose paid product depends on profiles staying visible.
Common questions
Has MyLife always operated under the MyLife name?
No — the site launched in 2002 as Reunion.com, a class-reunion networking tool, and only became MyLife.com after a 2008 merger with a search platform called Wink. Founder Jeff Tinsley ran the company under both names and remains its CEO today.
Is MyLife's free "Reputation Score" accurate?
MyLife assigns a Reputation Score to nearly everyone and often displays an alarming free teaser view before a paid report is purchased — the preview can imply criminal or arrest records even when none exist. Treat the free preview with skepticism rather than as a verified record.
How do I remove my profile from MyLife for free?
MyLife's free removal request is reportedly submitted at mylife.com/privacyrequest, where you provide your profile URL along with your name, city, state, ZIP, and email, then confirm through an emailed link. We couldn't independently verify this page directly since MyLife blocks automated access — cross-check the exact form field names on the live site before submitting.
Does MyLife share my profile data with other companies?
It's built to. MyLife's business has always run on aggregating records from public sources and outside data partners rather than collecting everything itself — Ancestry.com struck a data-sharing partnership with the site back in 2009, for example. Clearing your MyLife profile doesn't necessarily touch whatever a partner company independently holds on you.
