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

- 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.
