How hard is it to cancel PrivadoVPN?
PrivadoVPN scores 68/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), email.
PrivadoVPN subscriptions can be cancelled online via the Admin Panel (app.privado.live) by scrolling to 'Cancel Account' and completing a short retention flow that asks for a cancellation reason and may display promotional offers; cancellation can also be initiated via support contact. No notice period is stated — the confirmation screen shows the subscription closure date (presumably end of current billing cycle). A 30-day money-back guarantee applies to new Premium accounts for any reason; refunds require contacting support (no automated refund button). Partner-activated accounts must cancel through the respective partner's admin panel.

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.
