How to remove yourself from MyLife

1. Delete your info from dozens of people search sites

You can opt for manually deleting your personal information from MyLife if you like. But you will come across many other sites like BeenVerified, or Spokeo that have your personal information listed. If you make all the opt-out requests on your own, you’ll feel bothersome. To save you the hassle, you should use DeleteMe, a premium privacy removal service that can take your personal info off Google search and over 100 data brokers.

Abine’s DeleteMe helps you opt out from dozens of sites using a combination of automation and direct human intervention. A removal report is sent in 7 days and it continues to remove your data quarterly.

To protect your info from dozens of people search sites, follow the steps below.

1. Head to the DeleteMe search page.
2. Enter your info into the search field and click Get FREE report.
   
   
3. Wait for DeleteMe to search all the people search sites. When it says DeleteMe found your records, enter your email address, click the consent box, and click Reveal My Records.
   
   

You’ll need a subscription to reveal your records and remove yourself from the sites that collect and post your information online.

2. Manually remove yourself from MyLife.com

1. Go to mylife.com and click JOIN NOW on the top right corner of the page.
   
   
2. Enter your name, email address, and other information required. (We suggest you use a temporary email here. )

How does my information get on the internet

1. Data Aggregation by People Search Sites

Numerous people search sites, like MyLife.com, specialize in aggregating public information. They scrape data from various online and offline sources, including public records, social media platforms, and other databases. This aggregation process aims to create comprehensive profiles about individuals.

2. Public Records and Online Activity

Your presence in public records, such as property records, court documents, or government databases, contributes to the information available online. Additionally, your activities on social media, forums, and other online platforms can be mined and compiled by data brokers.

3. Online Directories and Listings

Your information may end up on the internet through online directories and listings. These directories often accumulate data from different sources, making it easily accessible to the public. MyLife.com, for instance, compiles extensive profiles by sourcing data from various places.
