## Refunds, pausing, downgrades and your data

- **Refunds:** Later plans are non-refundable. Later may review exceptions case by case and says an exception may be subject to an early termination fee. Apple handles refunds for iOS in-app purchases.
- **Pausing:** No subscription pause is documented in Later's subscription help section or terms.
- **Downgrading:** Cancellation moves the account to Free after the billing cycle. Extra users, Social Sets and Access Groups must be removed, older analytics become unavailable and over-limit scheduled content may not publish.
- **Account data:** Cancellation does not delete the account. Later says separate account deletion removes personal and sensitive data from core systems immediately and remaining data within 90 days, subject to legal and recordkeeping exceptions.
