Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

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

Surfshark documents a 30-day money-back guarantee for eligible initial purchases. App-store refunds follow the relevant store's rules and other exclusions can apply.

Refund possible
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

Cancelling auto-renewal keeps the paid bundle active through its term. Surfshark does not document a permanent free VPN tier.

Read this
Can I pause instead of cancel?

Surfshark does not document a direct web-subscription pause. Google Play may offer a store-level pause in eligible regions.

What happens to my account data?

Cancellation does not delete the account. Account deletion is separate through live chat, and deleting an active account removes the remaining service time.
