MyLife
MyLife (or MyLife.com) is an American Internet company founded by Jeffrey Tinsley in 2002. It provides services allowing people to see and control information that's publicly exposed about themselves or anyone. It previously conducted business under the names Reunion.com and Wink.com, providing people search services to find old friends and classmates under Reunion.com.
Mylife gathers information on individuals through public records and sources, and uses that information to automatically generate a "MyLife Public Page" on individuals, which purports to be a "complete Wikipedia-like biography on every American."〔https://www.mylife.com/help/#gi1〕 A Mylife Public Page can list a person's contact info including age, past and current home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, jobs, education, photographs, relatives, a mini biography and a personal review section which encourages other Mylife members to rate an individual. Mylife claims to have "over 225 million Public Pages with information about almost everyone in America, 18 years old and over." 〔https://www.mylife.com/help/#gi3〕 According to MyLife, a "Public Page cannot be deleted" and "only premium members can hide content on their Public Page and remove the info from the original source."〔https://www.mylife.com/help/#gi28〕〔https://www.mylife.com/help/#gi4〕〔http://www.mylife.com/help/#gi5〕
