What Is MyLife.com PS Subscr on Your Statement?
MyLife.com PS Subscr is a recurring charge from the people-search site MyLife. Here is what it means and how to cancel it and remove your profile.
MyLife.com PS Subscr is a recurring subscription charge from MyLife.com, a people-search and reputation website. The "PS" stands for premium subscription, and "subscr" is short for subscription. If you see this on a card or bank statement, it means a MyLife account is being billed on a repeating basis, usually monthly or annually.
Many people find this charge without remembering signing up for anything ongoing. That is common. MyLife often converts a one-off report purchase, a free trial or a background check into a rolling subscription. The charge then appears each billing cycle until you cancel it.
Why the charge appears
MyLife sells access to profiles that pull together public and commercial data about individuals. This includes names, ages, addresses, relatives, contact details and a "reputation score". People usually reach MyLife in one of two ways:
- They paid to view a report about themselves or someone else, and the purchase enrolled them in a subscription.
- They started a trial to see a report, and the trial rolled over into a paid plan when it ended.
Either route can produce the MyLife.com PS Subscr line on your statement. The amount varies depending on the plan you were placed on.
How to stop the charge
You need to do two separate things. Cancelling the subscription stops the billing. Opting out removes your public profile. They are not the same, and doing one does not do the other.
Step one: cancel the subscription
- Sign in to your MyLife account using the email address linked to the charge. If you are not sure which email was used, check your inbox for receipts or billing confirmations from MyLife.
- Open the account settings or membership area. Look for a section covering billing, subscription or membership.
- Find the option to cancel or turn off automatic renewal. Follow the prompts to confirm.
- Save or screenshot the cancellation confirmation. Keep it in case the charge appears again.
If you cannot log in, or the site does not show a clear cancel option, contact MyLife customer support directly. Ask them in plain terms to cancel the subscription and stop all future billing. Keep a written record of the request and any reply.
If the charge continues after you have cancelled, contact your bank or card provider. Explain that you cancelled a subscription and the merchant is still billing you. You can ask them to block further charges from that merchant or to dispute the payments.
Step two: remove your public profile
Cancelling billing does not remove the listing that describes you. To take down the profile, you use MyLife's opt-out process.
- Go to the MyLife website and find your own profile by searching your name, and where needed your age and location.
- Confirm the listing is actually about you. Names are often shared, so check the age, city and listed relatives.
- Look for the opt-out, privacy or "remove my listing" option. This is often linked in the site footer under a privacy or do-not-sell heading.
- Submit the removal request. You may be asked to verify your identity or confirm ownership of the listing by email.
- Complete any confirmation step sent to your email address. A request is often not processed until you confirm it.
If you are a California resident, you can also send a deletion demand under the California Consumer Privacy Act. This gives you a legal basis to request that your personal information be deleted, not just hidden. Look for MyLife's privacy or CCPA contact and state clearly that you are requesting deletion of your personal data under the CCPA.
What removal does and does not do
Removing your profile takes down the page that MyLife shows to the public. It does not permanently erase you from their systems. People-search sites rebuild their records from upstream data feeds, marketing lists and other public sources. In practice, listings often reappear within a few months, sometimes under a slightly different profile. This is not a sign that your request failed. It means the underlying data was pulled again from a source MyLife buys from.
Because of this, removal is not a one-time job. You may need to repeat the opt-out periodically, and check for new listings every few months.
There is also a limit to what any request can achieve. Some of the information in these profiles comes from public records. Court filings, property records, corporate registrations and voter rolls are public by law. A broker can be told to stop republishing them in a profile, but the underlying public records themselves cannot be deleted.
Check for related charges
MyLife sometimes bills under more than one descriptor. If you see MyLife.com PS Subscr, also scan your recent statements for any other MyLife lines or unfamiliar recurring charges near the same date. Cancel each one individually, since they can be tied to separate plans.
Cancel the billing first, then remove the profile, then keep a record. The two actions are separate and both matter.
Keep records in case it comes back
Save your cancellation confirmation, your opt-out confirmation and any email replies. If the charge returns or the profile reappears, these records make it faster to resolve the second time and give you evidence for a bank dispute if needed.
Doing this at scale
MyLife is one of many people-search sites, and the same data usually turns up on several of them at once. Cancelling one subscription and removing one profile does not touch the others. Checking each broker by hand, then rechecking every few months, takes real time.
Vanish is a Mac app that finds where data brokers publish your personal information and sends CCPA deletion demands on your behalf. It is one way to handle the ongoing work automatically rather than tracking every site yourself. The manual steps above work without it.
Common questions
Will cancelling my MyLife subscription remove my profile?
No. Cancelling stops the billing, but your public profile stays live until you complete the separate opt-out process on the MyLife website. You need to do both.
The charge is still showing after I cancelled. What do I do?
Contact MyLife support and ask them in writing to confirm the cancellation. If charges continue, contact your bank or card provider, explain that you cancelled, and ask them to block or dispute further charges from that merchant.
How do I know which email my MyLife account uses?
Search your email inboxes for messages from MyLife, such as receipts or billing confirmations. The address that received those is almost certainly the one linked to the subscription and account.
Is my MyLife profile gone for good once I opt out?
No. People-search sites rebuild their records from upstream data feeds and public sources, so listings often reappear within a few months. Recheck periodically and repeat the opt-out if a new profile shows up.
Can I get all my information deleted permanently?
Not entirely. You can request deletion of your personal data, and California residents can use the CCPA. But information drawn from public records such as court filings, property records and voter rolls cannot be deleted, only removed from a given profile.
Doing this for all 54 brokers by hand?
Vanish finds every listing about a person, sends the deletion demands from their own email, then re-checks later and tells you which ones actually came down. The scan is free — you only pay if there is something worth removing.
