## Cancel in a web browser

> Turning Renewal off stops the next charge. For full cancellation before the end date, contact DeleteMe Support.

1. **Open Account** Sign in at joindeleteme.com and click Account in the left navigation.
2. **Open Billing & Subscriptions** Select Billing & Subscriptions.
3. **Turn Renewal off** Toggle Renewal from On to Off. This stops automatic billing at the end of the term but does not end current service.

## Refunds, pausing, downgrades and your data

- **Refunds:** Individual users receive a full refund when they cancel before the first Privacy Report. After the first report, DeleteMe provides a prorated refund based on the unused time remaining in the subscription. The policy does not apply when DeleteMe terminates an account for misuse.
- **Pausing:** No subscription pause option is documented in DeleteMe's official pricing, recurring-billing, account-deletion, terms or payment pages.
- **Downgrading:** Turning Renewal off ends automatic billing but leaves current service active through the end date. DeleteMe does not document an automatic free-tier downgrade after the term.
- **Account data:** Turning off renewal does not delete the account or its data. The separate Delete my account action under Billing and Subscriptions terminates all subscriptions, deletes all subscription data and dashboard access, and is irreversible.
