What is MyLife?

MyLife is a controversial people-search and reputation website that assigns "reputation scores" to individuals. It has faced multiple lawsuits over its practices.

What MyLife Shows:

  • Full name and aliases
  • Age and date of birth
  • Addresses (current and past)
  • Phone numbers
  • Email addresses
  • "Reputation Score" (1-5 stars)
  • Background information
  • Court records
  • Property records
  • Relatives and associates

Why MyLife is Particularly Problematic

MyLife has unique issues:

  • Reputation scores - Arbitrary ratings that can harm you
  • Misleading alerts - Sends emails claiming someone searched for you
  • Aggressive marketing - Pressures you to pay for "protection"
  • Lawsuit history - FTC and state attorneys general actions
