MyLife is a data broker that gets its information from public sources ... so they claim ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.
... and they have been sued successfully ... latest one :
In February of 2015, MyLife agreed to a court judgment under which it would pay $800,000.00 in penalties, plus $250,000.00 in refunds to customers. The company also will be subject to a permanent injunction that prohibits false advertising and unauthorized credit card charges.
The case grew out of a joint investigation by the Santa Monica City Attorney’s Office
and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. Investigators found that MyLife
was tricking consumers into giving the company their personal identifying information,
and later their money, through false and misleading ads.
