How hard is it to cancel Kaspersky?
Kaspersky scores 74/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), phone.
Kaspersky subscriptions can be cancelled online via the My Kaspersky account portal (Manage Subscription > Cancel Subscription) or by contacting customer support. Cancellation stops future auto-renewal charges; the existing subscription period remains active until its expiration date. Refunds are available within 30 days of purchase for orders placed through the Kaspersky online store or via auto-renewal, with funds credited within 5–7 business days. Purchases made through third-party resellers must be cancelled and refunded directly with that reseller.
How to cancel Kaspersky
- Channels: online (self-serve), phone
- Official cancellation page: https://usa.kaspersky.com/cancellation
- Pause/freeze: not offered. No pause or freeze option is documented on Kaspersky's cancellation or support pages.
- Account/data deletion: Users can delete their My Kaspersky account via account settings; deletion removes personal data, payment data, order history, connected devices, and subscription details. Account deletion is blocked if active subscriptions exist — auto-renewal must be cancelled first. Inactive accounts are automatically deleted after 5 years. Deletion is irreversible. https://support.kaspersky.com/kpc/1.0/en-us/95252.htm

Scope & fairness
This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
