Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

Four questions people ask before they cancel
Can I get my money back?

Hulu does not provide refunds or credits for partially used billing periods or annual terms, except where required by law. Hulu may provide one at its discretion, while third-party providers control their own refunds.

No refunds
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

Direct subscribers can select MANAGE PLAN under Your Subscription and choose another plan. Hulu's current official plan-management article does not state when a direct downgrade takes effect.

Read this
Can I pause instead of cancel?

Eligible direct monthly subscriptions can pause for up to 12 weeks from the Account page. The pause starts on the first day of the next billing cycle and resumes automatically at the end of the chosen duration.

Read this
What happens to my account data?

Cancellation and account deletion are separate. A Hulu-billed subscription must end before deletion is processed. Hulu publishes no fixed general US retention period, and deleting Hulu does not delete the separate MyDisney account.
