The Cancellation Friction Index

Documented-Policy tier only. This score rates how clearly Netflix's public cancellation page is published (cited, dated) — opinion grounded in disclosed facts, not a finding about the real cancel experience, and not legal advice. The behavioural Verified-Flow grade is pending.

How to cancel Netflix

  • Channels: online (self-serve), in-app
  • Official cancellation page: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/407
  • Pause/freeze: not offered. No subscription pause. After cancelling, Netflix retains your profiles, viewing history and recommendations for ~10 months, so restarting resumes where you left off.
  • Account/data deletion: Cancelling keeps your account info (profiles, history, recommendations) for ~10 months in case you restart. To delete sooner, email [email protected] requesting account deletion. https://help.netflix.com/en/node/100625

Evidence

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.
