Why you should think about deleting your MyLife account
Let us take a look at the controversial aspects of MyLife that might make you want to delete your account and remove your profile from the site.
Since its conception, MyLife has been a controversial website because it caters to providing other people’s personal information to anyone who asks for it. Many people have criticized the whole concept of the site because nobody ever wants their personal information exposed to strangers online. This concept of generating an individual’s profile containing their intimate personal details has even been described by many as encroachment of personal details, immoral, and even illegal.
In 2011, MyLife faced a class-action lawsuit alleging that it was involved in false advertising practices. The company was also allegedly accused of fraudulent solicitation that urged its users to purchase their monthly membership plan but charged them at an annual rate.
Then again, in 2011, an investigation was carried out by Washington State Attorney General’s Office on the charges that the company might have been violating state laws, i.e., the Consumer Protection Act, which prohibits the practice of unfair and deceptive ads.
Again, in 2015, the company was sued for allegedly violating California state’s anti-spam laws. Investigations showed that the company was found to be tricking its customers into handing over their personal information and hard-earned money. The court made MyLife liable to $800,000 in fines and another $250,000 in refunds to its customers.
In July 2020, the US Department of Justice once again sued the company on behalf of the Federal Trade Commission, alleging that the company had violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act and used misleading billing and marketing practices. According to the lawsuit, the company was found deceiving the customers with false claims and misinformation.

When you delete your MyLife account, you only delete your MyLife Public profile that is visible to other users o the site. But this doesn’t mean that all the information the company has aggregated about you is also deleted. All your personal information gathered on you using your public profiles, and related websites are still out there on such individual platforms.
Deleting your MyLife account will only remove your profile from MyLife permanently but not the information about you that is publicly out there on other sites. To remove all traces of information about yourself altogether, you will have to manually remove all personally identifiable information, which can be a pretty long and painstaking process.

You will also not be entitled to discounts of any sort on future subscriptions when you cancel early.
If you do not wish to renew your subscription, you must cancel it at least 24 hours before the renewal date. The same thing is valid if you have paid for the membership using your bank’s debit card, credit card, or another payment service like PayPal.
You might receive an email confirmation when your account has been successfully canceled.

How to hide your public profile on MyLife?
If you want to remove your public MyLife profile from the website, you can delete your account after confirming your identity. Once you delete your account, your profile will be removed from the site.
