## Refunds, pausing, downgrades and your data

- **Refunds:** The cancel help page says cancelling will not retroactively refund subscription payments and previously charged fees cannot be prorated based on cancellation date. In-app purchase charges are generally nonrefundable, with no refunds or credits for partially used periods. iOS refunds are handled by Apple, not Duolingo. Web and Android refund requests go to Duolingo support as a Purchase Issue. Terms add that all payments are nonrefundable unless required by law, and Apple or Google handle store purchases.
- **Pausing:** No pause option is documented on the Super, cancel, Family Plan, refund or Terms pages checked for this guide.
- **Downgrading:** After you cancel, you can use Super Duolingo features for the remainder of the subscription period, then the account continues on free Duolingo. Streak and learning progress are not affected. You can reactivate anytime. Individual Super can be changed to a Family Plan from Change plan, except monthly Google Play Super cannot upgrade to Family. Super subscribers can upgrade to Max in the iOS or Android app; web Super cannot upgrade to Max.
- **Account data:** Deleting the app or account does not cancel Super. Account deletion uses the Duolingo Data Vault or iOS Settings Delete account, then an email confirmation link, with 7 days to cancel erasure. Deletion can take up to 30 days and removes learning progress and achievements. Cancel Super renewal before data erasure if Apple or Google bills you.
