The Cancellation Friction Index

Documented-Policy tier only. This score rates how clearly PureVPN'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.

PureVPN scores 70/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US, a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), email.

Last reviewed 2026-06-05 · Documented-Policy tier · grade B

PureVPN subscribers can cancel by logging into the Member Area, going to Subscriptions, and clicking 'Cancel Subscription', a self-serve online flow. Cancellation stops future billing immediately but no specific effective-date or remaining-access timeline is stated. Refunds are available within 31 days of the initial purchase via email to [email protected] or live chat, but renewals and trial-based charges are explicitly excluded from the refund policy. Payments made via Google Play, Apple App Store, or Coinpayments are also non-refundable.

How to cancel PureVPN

  • Channels: online (self-serve), email
  • Official cancellation page: https://support.purevpn.com/en_US/account/what%E2%80%99s-the-cancellation-process
  • Pause/freeze: not offered. No pause or freeze option documented. Cancellation terminates the subscription; the help article notes the account 'can be resumed whenever convenient' but this refers to reactivation, not a formal pause.
  • Refund policy: https://www.purevpn.com/refund-policy.php
  • Account/data deletion: No self-service deletion. Users must email [email protected] to request account deletion from the database. No GDPR-specific process or timeline is documented on the help page. https://support.purevpn.com/en_US/subscription-faqs/how-to-delete-my-purevpn-account

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.
