How hard is it to cancel OkCupid?

OkCupid subscriptions paid by credit card or PayPal are cancelled online at okcupid.com/settings via a 'Turn off automatic billing' link; subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play must be cancelled through those platforms directly. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — access is retained and there is no prorated refund for unused time. Refunds are generally not issued except for serious bugs/platform issues, unauthorized payment use, or for EU/UK/EEA/Switzerland users who are entitled to a 14-day cooling-off refund. OkCupid cannot refund or cancel Apple App Store purchases on the user's behalf.

How to cancel OkCupid

• Channels: online (self-serve), in-app
• Official cancellation page: https://okcupid-app.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/22977442983707-How-to-Cancel-and-Unsubscribe
• Pause/freeze: not offered. No formal pause feature exists; disabling your account while on a credit card or PayPal subscription pauses billing, but this is account disablement rather than a true subscription pause.
• Refund policy: https://okcupid-app.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/23178974404379-Refunds
• Account/data deletion: Account deletion is available in-app (Settings > Disable your account) or on the website; deleting removes profile, photos, chat history, and interactions. OkCupid retains data for a 3-month safety window post-closure, then purges personal data. Some data (transaction records for tax/accounting, traffic logs) is retained up to one year for legal compliance. iTunes/Google Play subscribers must cancel those separately as OkCupid does not receive deletion notifications from those platforms. https://okcupid-app.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/22976833965595-How-to-delete-or-disable-your-account

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.
