How hard is it to cancel Pandora?

Pandora-billed subscriptions can be cancelled online at Pandora.com or through the mobile app (Menu > Subscription > Switch Plans > Cancel Subscription); subscriptions billed through Apple, Google Play, Amazon, or Roku must be cancelled through those platforms directly. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — access continues until expiry and no refund is issued. All purchases are explicitly final and non-refundable, including partial or pro-rated amounts, except where required by law. There is no pause or freeze option.

How to cancel Pandora

• Channels: online (self-serve), in-app
• Official cancellation page: https://help.pandora.com/s/article/Cancel-your-Subscription-1519949295562?language=en_US
• Pause/freeze: not offered. Pandora explicitly states there is no way to temporarily suspend or deactivate an account; paid subscribers must cancel and resubscribe.
• Account/data deletion: Paid subscribers must cancel their subscription, let it expire, then delete via Settings > Account > Delete Pandora Account. Deletion is final and irrecoverable (Thumbs and collected content gone), though content shared to third-party platforms like Facebook may persist there. No explicit data-retention period is stated. https://help.pandora.com/s/article/Cancel-Deactivate-or-Delete-your-Account-1519949295569?language=en_US

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.
