How to cancel myLife in singapore and protect your data
Understanding myLife and why you might want to cancel
myLife is an online people-search and reputation management platform that aggregates personal information from public records and web sources. The service operates internationally and reaches Singapore users through the Apple App Store, direct website subscriptions, and third-party processors, offering both free and premium membership tiers with recurring billing cycles.
You might subscribe to monitor your digital footprint, remove personal data from search results, or manage your online reputation. However, many users cancel after discovering the service's value does not align with their expectations, or they prefer managing their personal information through other means without ongoing subscription costs.
How myLife charges you
myLife bills you through two main channels: Apple App Store subscriptions (processed by Apple Inc.) or direct website transactions (processed by myLife's payment systems). Your cancellation method depends entirely on which channel you used to subscribe.
Understanding your billing source is crucial because each route has different cancellation procedures, refund policies, and processing timelines. Check your bank or credit card statement to confirm whether charges originate from Apple, myLife directly, or a third-party payment processor. This identification step ensures you cancel through the correct channel and avoid continuing charges.
When to cancel immediately
You should cancel right away if you notice unauthorised charges, duplicate subscriptions, or if the service no longer serves your needs. Most importantly, cancel at least 24 hours before your next renewal date to avoid unwanted billing cycles and additional charges on your account.
Your cancellation options depending on how you subscribed
Your path to cancellation follows one of two distinct routes: through Apple's App Store system or through myLife's direct support channels.
Cancelling an apple app store subscription
If you subscribed via the Apple App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or through your Apple account online, you cancel directly within Apple's ecosystem. This route bypasses myLife entirely and places you in immediate control of your renewal date.
- Open the Apple App Store on your iPhone or iPad
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner
- Select "Subscriptions"
- Find myLife in your active subscriptions list and tap it
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" (or "Edit Subscription" if you want to manage rather than cancel)
- Apple may offer you a discounted renewal as a retention offer; decline this unless you genuinely want to continue
- You will see a confirmation message; take a screenshot for your records
- Verify cancellation took effect by returning to Subscriptions; myLife should no longer appear or should show as "cancelled" status
- Check your email for Apple's cancellation confirmation notice within 24 hours
Pro tip: Apple typically allows you 14 days after purchase to request a full refund. If you subscribed fewer than 14 days ago and want your money back, use this same Subscriptions menu to report "Unexpected Charges" and request a refund rather than simply cancelling.
Cancelling a direct website or card-billed subscription
If you subscribed directly through myLife's website or entered your card details outside the App Store, you must contact myLife's support team or use their account settings to cancel. This route requires more active effort but gives you a documented paper trail for your records.
- Log into your myLife account on the website
- Look for Account Settings, Billing, Subscriptions, or similar menu sections
- Some platforms allow one-click cancellation here; take this option if available
- If no self-service cancellation option appears, locate myLife's customer support contact details (see address section below)
- Send an email or letter clearly stating your full name, account email, and request to cancel your subscription immediately
- Include your account number if you have it
- Request written confirmation of cancellation
- Use registered mail or email with read receipt to create proof of submission
- Wait for myLife's written confirmation within 5 to 10 business days
- After receiving confirmation, monitor your bank statement to ensure charges stop on your next billing cycle
- If charges continue after the stated cancellation date, dispute the transaction with your bank immediately
Your legal position and consumer rights under singapore law
Under Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA), you have clear legal protections when cancelling subscription services. These rights apply regardless of whether myLife operates overseas; if the company targets Singapore consumers, the Act protects you.
The CPFTA requires that businesses provide clear, accurate information about subscription terms, auto-renewal clauses, and cancellation procedures before you pay. Furthermore, the Act prohibits unfair contract terms and misleading representations about cancellation ease or cost.
Your specific rights under the CPFTA
You have the right to cancel your subscription without penalty if myLife did not clearly disclose auto-renewal terms or cancellation procedures before you subscribed. Consequently, if you discover the cancellation process is deliberately obscured or if charges continued after you cancelled, you can lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS).
In accordance with the CPFTA, you may also request a refund if you paid for services that myLife did not deliver as advertised. If myLife refuses your cancellation request or continues charging after you cancel, you have grounds to escalate to CASE, which mediates disputes at no cost to you, or file a claim in the District Court for amounts exceeding CASE's jurisdiction.
Your legal position
You are entitled to: Cancel without penalty if auto-renewal terms were not clearly disclosed before payment. Request a full refund if services were not delivered as advertised. File a complaint with CASE or the CCCS if myLife refuses cancellation or continues billing after you cancelled. Dispute unauthorised charges with your bank within 120 days. Yafee recommends keeping all cancellation confirmations, emails, and payment records to support any dispute.
Pricing and subscription options
Understanding myLife's pricing structure helps you determine whether the service justifies its cost and identify which charges on your statement belong to the platform.
| Subscription tier |
Monthly cost |
Annual cost |
Key features |
| Free tier |

| Premium Plus |

Prices vary depending on promotional offers and your location. Apple App Store pricing may differ slightly from direct website pricing due to currency conversion and payment processing fees. Verify the exact charge on your statement by reviewing the description line, which typically reads "myLife Inc." or similar.
Refund eligibility and timeline
Your refund eligibility depends on which platform processed your subscription and how long ago you subscribed.
Refunds via apple app store
Apple allows you 14 days from the date of purchase to request a full refund for subscriptions. After 14 days, Apple typically denies refund requests, but you may appeal if you can demonstrate the service was not delivered as advertised. Contact Apple Support directly through your App Store account to request a refund; Yafee advises gathering screenshots of the service or promotional materials that contradict what you received.
Refunds via direct website billing
myLife's refund policy is typically stricter than Apple's and varies by jurisdiction. Most direct website subscriptions do not qualify for refunds after 14 days unless you can prove the service failed to perform. Nevertheless, under Singapore's CPFTA, you retain the right to claim a refund if the service was materially misrepresented or if myLife failed to deliver core features described at purchase.
Contact myLife's support team in writing to request a refund, specifying your grounds (non-delivery, misrepresentation, or auto-renewal not clearly disclosed). Expect a response within 10 to 15 business days. If myLife refuses and you believe the refusal violates the CPFTA, escalate to CASE for free mediation.
Common mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation
Cancelling a subscription is straightforward when you follow the correct procedure, but small mistakes can delay the process or leave charges continuing on your account.
Mistake 1: cancelling through the wrong platform
If you subscribed through Apple but attempt to cancel through myLife's website (or vice versa), neither company recognises your cancellation request. This creates a frustrating loop where you think you have cancelled but charges continue. Always confirm your billing source first by checking your bank statement, then cancel through the exact platform that processed your original subscription.
Mistake 2: failing to confirm cancellation in writing
If you cancel through myLife's support team verbally or via chat, request written confirmation by email immediately after. Verbal cancellations create no paper trail, and myLife may claim they never received your request if charges continue. Always insist on a confirmation email containing your name, account number, and the cancellation date.
Mistake 3: cancelling too close to your renewal date
Cancelling within 24 hours of your renewal date risks myLife processing your payment before your cancellation takes effect. Set a reminder to cancel at least 48 hours before your renewal date appears on your account. This buffer ensures myLife's system processes your cancellation before the automated billing cycle triggers.
Mistake 4: not monitoring your account after cancellation
After you receive cancellation confirmation, monitor your bank or credit card statement for the next two billing cycles. If charges reappear, contact your bank immediately to dispute the transaction and request a reversal. Yafee recommends keeping cancellation confirmations for at least 12 months to support any disputes.
What happens after you cancel
Cancelling your myLife subscription does not instantly delete your personal data from the myLife platform; you may need to take additional steps to remove your information from their database.
Immediate changes upon cancellation
Your account access stops immediately or within 24 hours of cancellation confirmation. You can no longer log in to use myLife's search or reputation management features. Any recurring charges cease on your next scheduled billing date, not immediately.
Data removal after cancellation
After cancelling, submit a separate data removal request to myLife if you wish to delete your profile and personal information from their database. This is a distinct action from cancellation and requires a formal written request. Contact myLife's privacy team with your full name, email address, and account number, requesting complete deletion of your profile and associated data. Expect processing within 30 days.
Monitoring for unauthorised reactivation
Occasionally, users report that myLife reactivated their subscriptions after cancellation, usually due to a technical error or cached payment information. Monitor your bank statement for 90 days after cancellation. If an unexpected charge appears, dispute it immediately with your bank and submit a complaint to CASE, citing the original cancellation date.

Cancellation checklist
Use this checklist to ensure you complete cancellation correctly and avoid delays or continued billing.
- Confirm your billing source (Apple App Store or direct website) by checking your bank statement
- Note your cancellation deadline (at least 24 hours before your renewal date)
- If using Apple: open App Store, tap Subscriptions, find myLife, tap Cancel
- If using direct billing: log into your account and look for self-service cancellation; if unavailable, contact support
- Take screenshots of cancellation confirmation before closing the app or window
- Save any confirmation emails from Apple or myLife for at least 12 months
- Monitor your bank statement for two billing cycles after cancellation
- If charges continue, dispute them immediately with your bank
- If myLife refuses cancellation, contact CASE or the CCCS with your cancellation proof
If self-service cancellation fails or if you need to dispute charges, use one of these official myLife contact addresses and escalation routes.
MyLife primary contact address
myLife Inc., 225 Santa Monica Boulevard, Suite 700, Santa Monica, CA 90401, United States. This is the primary mailing address for cancellation requests, refund appeals, and formal complaints. Send all correspondence by registered mail or email with read receipt to create proof of submission. Include your full name, account email, account number, and a clear statement of your cancellation request or dispute. Expect a response within 10 to 15 business days.
Escalation to singapore consumer authorities
If myLife does not respond within 15 business days or refuses your cancellation request, contact the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) at 6100 1800 or visit www.case.org.sg. CASE mediates disputes between consumers and businesses at no cost to you. Alternatively, file a complaint with the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) at www.cccs.gov.sg if you believe myLife violated the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act.
Bank dispute process
If myLife continues charging after you cancelled, contact your bank's dispute department immediately. Provide your bank with copies of your cancellation confirmation and the dates of unauthorised charges. Banks typically investigate disputes within 30 to 60 days and will reverse the charges if they determine the billing was unauthorised. Most banks allow disputes within 120 days of the charge, so act quickly if you discover unexpected billing.
