Charges are generally nonrefundable unless the Terms of Sale or law provides otherwise. A subscription change may receive a prorated credit at The New York Times' discretion.
- **Pausing:** The current Digital Subscriptions guide and Terms of Sale do not document a customer-controlled pause for these digital subscriptions.
- **Downgrading:** You can cancel or change a subscription through the account area or Customer Care. Current choices and any price effect appear in the account flow. Only the primary account holder can manage or cancel a family subscription.
- **Account data:** An active subscription must first be cancelled and its benefits must end before the account can be deleted. On the web, use Account, Privacy and Delete your account. In the apps, use Settings, Privacy Settings and Delete Account. Account history is permanently lost, but the privacy policy allows some information to be retained after closure when needed or permitted for service, transaction, legal or claims purposes, or to be de-identified.
