MyLife is a people search and data broker service that aggregates personal data and displays listings, as well as sells your personal information. It may combine information from MyLife-style public records and commercial sources for one profile page accessible through a search engine. The company builds these profiles from public records, government and court records, public web sources, social-media information, and third-party data brokers. MyLife also has a specific history: it grew out of Reunion.com and Wink.com, and BBB lists related names or sites such as Reunion.com and ReputationMatters.org.

Step-by-Step Guide

Timelines, Verification & What to Expect

Some confirmations may arrive quickly. However, real-world removal timing varies. Recheck after the review window. Follow up if the profile remains live. A confirmation email or on-page note shows that the company received your opt-out request. If nothing changes after 14-15 days, resend the same request once. Ask the support team to process your query.

Edge Cases & Troubleshooting

Will my data reappear?

Listings can return when data broker sites refresh records from aggregators, reseller feeds, and broker sites. That is why sites like MyLife may show old details again. Set a recurring reminder to recheck the profile, keep your data notes, and resubmit quickly if needed.

The risk is not only that strangers can find your address or contact details; a profile can also create a misleading reputation or background-check impression that affects how other people judge you. FTC and DOJ complaints focused on misleading teaser reports and paid subscription tactics, while BBB, Reddit, Trustpilot, and Sitejabber users reported removal, billing, and incorrect-information problems.

Manual removal works.
But only for today.

Opting out manually is possible – but it never ends. Data brokers re-list your information regularly, so removing yourself from one site today just means doing it again in a few months.
