What Is the MyLife Email Address for Opt-Outs

MyLife uses a privacy email for deletion requests, not a public inbox. Here is how to find the right address and send a working CCPA opt-out demand.

MyLife does not publish a single customer-facing email address for general contact. The address that matters for removing your profile is its privacy or data subject request email, which the company uses to handle opt-out and deletion demands. You will usually find it inside the MyLife privacy policy rather than on the main site, listed as the contact for privacy or California privacy rights.

Because MyLife can change where it lists this address, the reliable way to find it is to open the MyLife privacy policy and look for the section on your privacy choices or California rights. The email is stated there, alongside any postal address and online form the company offers. Do not rely on an address copied from a forum or an old guide, as those go stale.

How to find the current MyLife privacy email

1. Go to the MyLife website and scroll to the footer.
2. Open the link labelled Privacy or Privacy Policy.
3. Use your browser find function and search the page for the word email or privacy.
4. Look for a section headed something like Your Privacy Rights, California Residents, or Do Not Sell My Information.
5. Note the email address listed there for data subject or deletion requests. Also note any web form, as the form is often the faster route.

If the policy points you to an online form instead of an email, use the form. It routes your request to the same team and gives you a record that you submitted it.

What to send

Whether you email or use a form, the goal is the same. You are asking MyLife to delete your profile and to stop selling or sharing your personal information. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act you can make this request, and MyLife must verify who you are before acting.

Keep your message short and specific. Include:

• A clear statement that you are requesting deletion of your profile and opting out of the sale and sharing of your personal information.
• The exact URL of your MyLife profile, if you have found it.
• Your full name, any former names, and the city and state the listing shows, so they can match the record.
• A request for written confirmation once the profile is removed.

Do not send more identifying detail than needed. You want them to find one record, not to hand over extra data.

Find your MyLife profile first

A deletion request works better when you can name the exact profile. To find yours:

1. Search your name in a search engine with the word mylife added.
2. Open any MyLife result that matches you.
3. Copy the full web address from the browser bar.
4. If several profiles look like you, note each URL. MyLife sometimes holds more than one record per person.

Paste the URL or URLs into your request. This removes any doubt about which listing you mean.

Using the opt-out tools directly

MyLife typically offers more than one path. The privacy email is one. There is usually also a web-based opt-out or a Do Not Sell link in the footer or privacy policy. If you can see any of these, you can finish the removal without email at all.

1. From the footer or privacy policy, open the opt-out or Do Not Sell link.
2. Enter the details the form asks for, usually name, location and an email for confirmation.
3. Submit the form and watch for a confirmation email.
4. If a confirmation email arrives, click the link inside it. Many opt-outs are only final once you confirm.

If no confirmation email arrives within a day, send the privacy email as a backup and reference the form you submitted.

What to expect after you send it

MyLife may ask you to verify your identity before it acts. Respond to that request, but share only what is needed to confirm you are the person in the record. The company then has a period under the CCPA to process verified deletion requests. If you do not hear back, follow up by replying to your original message so the history stays in one thread.

Be realistic about the outcome. Removing your profile does not stop MyLife from building a new one later. People-search sites rebuild their records from upstream data feeds, public sources and other listings. A profile you delete today can reappear within a few months when the next feed refreshes. This is normal across the industry, not a sign your request failed.

It also helps to know what cannot be erased. Court filings, property records, corporate registrations and voter rolls are public by law. MyLife may draw on those sources, and you cannot have the underlying public records deleted. You can only ask MyLife to stop displaying its own compiled profile.

If the email bounces or nothing happens

If the privacy email bounces, return to the privacy policy and check for an updated address, as it may have changed since your last visit. If the form fails, try a different browser or clear your cookies. Keep a dated copy of every request you send. If MyLife ignores a valid CCPA request, that record is useful should you escalate to the California Attorney General.

Doing this at scale

One MyLife profile is manageable by hand. The problem is that the same personal details sit on dozens of similar sites, each with its own email, form and verification step. Repeating this process everywhere, then again every few months as listings return, is slow.

This is where a tool helps. Vanish is a Mac app that finds where data brokers publish your personal information and sends CCPA deletion demands on your behalf, including to sites like MyLife. It does not make removal permanent, since no tool can, but it automates the repeated work of finding listings and sending requests.

Whether you use a tool or do it yourself, the method is the same. Find the current privacy email or opt-out form in the policy, send a clear deletion request with your profile URL, confirm it, and plan to check again in a few months.
