## Cancel in a web browser

> Hinge payment (Stripe) is cancelled in Account Settings in the app, or through Stripe using Hinge Subscription emails.

1. **Open Account Settings in the Hinge app** If you subscribed using Hinge payment (powered by Stripe), open the Hinge app and tap the Gear Icon to open Account Settings.
2. **Tap Cancel Subscription** Tap Cancel Subscription and follow the prompts. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the next billing period. If you no longer have the app, follow the Stripe cancellation steps in Hinge Subscription emails, using the email address that receives those emails.

> **Warning:** Deleting a Hinge-payment account immediately cancels that subscription and remaining paid benefits are lost.

## Cancel on iPhone / iPad

> Use Apple Settings only when the App Store bills you. Hinge payment on iOS is cancelled in the Hinge app, not in Apple Settings.

1. **Open Apple Subscriptions** If you subscribed using the App Store or your Apple ID, open Settings, tap your name, then tap Subscriptions.
2. **Tap Hinge, then Cancel Subscription** Tap Hinge, then tap Cancel Subscription. Deleting the Hinge app or account does not cancel Apple billing.

> **Warning:** Deleting the Hinge app or account does not cancel Apple billing.

## Cancel on Android

> Use Google Play when Play bills you.

1. **Open Google Play subscriptions** If you subscribed on Android, open Google Play subscriptions while signed in to the Google Account that pays for Hinge.
2. **Tap Hinge, then Cancel Subscription** Tap Hinge, tap Cancel Subscription and follow the instructions. Uninstalling the app does not cancel Play billing.

> **Warning:** Deleting the Hinge app or account does not cancel Google Play billing.

## Refunds, pausing, downgrades and your data

- **Refunds:** Help says most purchases are nonrefundable. Roses and Boosts are final. For a Hinge-payment subscription purchased in the last 14 days, contact Hinge Support. Apple handles App Store refunds; Google handles Play refunds. Terms generally say purchases are final except where local law requires otherwise, including a 14-day refund in listed European jurisdictions and a 3-business-day right to cancel without penalty in listed US states, via Apple or by written notice to Hinge Attn: Cancellations, P.O. Box 25472, Dallas, Texas 75225 (California and Ohio may also email hello@hinge.co).
- **Pausing:** You can pause your Hinge profile so you are not shown to new people, but pausing your account will not pause your subscription.
- **Downgrading:** To downgrade from HingeX to Hinge+, cancel HingeX first, then subscribe to Hinge+. Cancel at least 24 hours before renewal. After a normal cancel, you keep paid features until the then-current term ends, then the free Hinge account remains. Deleting a Hinge-payment account cancels that subscription immediately.
- **Account data:** Uninstalling the app does not delete the account or cancel store billing. Delete Account is in Account Settings and removes content per the Privacy Policy. For Apple or Google billing, deleting the app or account does not cancel the subscription. For Hinge payment, deleting the account immediately cancels the subscription.
