Open the opt-out form, not the privacy page
The opt-out lives at mylife.com/privacyrequest, and the page title is literally MyLife Opt-Out Form. mylife.com/privacy is a different page and it is not an opt-out, it sells MyLife's paid reputation product. On the site itself the only route in is the Do Not Sell My Personal Information link in the footer.
You can't Google your way there. The opt-out page carries a noindex tag, which tells search engines to keep it out of results, so type the address in rather than searching for it.
The page is a shell around an embedded form. If it comes up blank, load the form on its own at mylife.jotform.com/260284407610047. It's the same form, it works standalone, and it loads when the MyLife page won't.
Find your profile and copy its URL first
The form has a field for the URL of your listing, with the prompt Find your profile listing on MyLife.com. Search your own name on MyLife before you open the form and copy the address of every page that is yours. It's the strongest single thing you can hand them for matching, and it's the reason that field being marked optional is misleading.
Don't buy anything while you're in there. Searching yourself is what triggers MyLife's reputation score pitch and its who is searching for you prompts. You don't need a subscription, an account or a paid report to file the opt-out, and paying doesn't move it any faster.
One request covers the whole site. The phone search, the reverse address lookup and the people search all run on the same database, so you don't file separately for each one.
Set the State dropdown before you type anything else
State is the first field and it controls the rest of the form. Set it, then work down. Name, first and last. Location, which is a full street address with city, state and zip. Birth Year in YYYY, which the form says it uses to locate your correct profile.
Then the fields marked optional, and treat all three as required: Middle Initial, Maiden Name or Alias Name, and the profile URL you copied. Nothing here gets checked against a document, so how much you give them is the only thing standing between you and a no-match answer.
Know what else submitting does. The form says it will unsubscribe the email address you give it and delete any accounts registered with that email, so if you're a paying member that's your account. Canceling billing is a separate job with Customer Care and this form is not it. Then clear the Please verify that you are human check and submit.
Outside California, you need a working email address
Set the state to California and an optional Email field appears, next to the California opt-out rights text. Set it to anything else and that field disappears while a required Email Validator widget takes its place. We drove the dropdown through California, Texas, Pennsylvania and Florida in a browser on September 8, 2026 and watched the fields swap each time.
So everyone outside California has to supply an email address and clear its verification round trip before the form will submit. There's no anonymous path and no postal equivalent inside the web form. Use an address you can open today, not one you check twice a year.
If the form won't go through at all, the fallbacks are printed on it: email privacy@MyLife.com, or write to MyLife.com, Inc., Attn: Privacy, 907 Westwood Blvd. (#359), Los Angeles, CA 90024-2905. The privacy policy and the help pages give a different address, membersupport@mylife.com. Put both on the same email instead of guessing which one someone reads.
Mark 15 business days, then check it yourself
The form says it will process your request within 15 business days. That's the number shown to you at the moment you submit, so it's the one to hold them to. Put the date in your calendar and search your name again when it arrives, rather than waiting on a confirmation that may never come.
Your time cost is one sitting. Searching yourself, copying the URL and filling the form is a single session at a desk. Everything after that is checking, and checking is the part people skip.
If the listing is still up, the appeal is written into the privacy policy: email membersupport@mylife.com. MyLife commits to tell you in writing what it did or didn't do within sixty days of receiving an appeal. If that goes nowhere and you live in a state with a privacy law, the next move is a complaint to your state attorney general, not a fourth email.
If they turn you down over where you live
Removal here isn't owed everywhere. The form offers these options to residents of the states it lists and, in its words, at our discretion to residents of other states as well. A refusal based on your state is a real outcome, and nothing warns you at submission time, because the dropdown carries all fifty.
MyLife's two lists disagree, and the longer one is in the policy. The form names California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Virginia. The privacy policy adds Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Rhode Island and Tennessee. If you're in one of those six, quote the policy back at them.
The policy also reserves two things the form never asked us for: a piece of identification to verify you, and a reasonable fee to comply with your request. Neither is part of the standard path. If either turns up in a reply, it's an escalation rather than the rule, and it's worth pushing back before you comply.
What this does not do
Getting off MyLife doesn't touch the sites that feed MyLife. The policy says it may receive or license personal information from third parties, such as data brokers, to enhance records it already holds. Those suppliers aren't named, they keep their copies, and the same address and relative names stay for sale elsewhere.
Suppression is a list, not an erasure. The policy describes opt-out rights as letting MyLife hold your information to stop future sale, and nowhere does it say that list gets checked against data it licenses later. That's the gap a profile comes back through, so search your name again in a few months and be ready to file a second time.
If you were removed from MyLife two years ago, don't assume you still are. Search the name, open the page, and find out what's live today. A removal you haven't seen with your own eyes is not one you can report to anybody.
