New Scientist retains your account information per its privacy policy; request data deletion via customer services if required.

Your consumer rights in United Arab Emirates
General protections
UAE consumer protection laws give buyers rights to accurate information, redress for defective goods and mechanisms to lodge complaints.
However, cross-border subscriptions are governed primarily by the seller's terms; local authorities support enforcement where applicable.
How to act in UAE
- First contact New Scientist via subscriptions@newscientist.com and keep written records of your request.
- If unresolved, file a complaint through the UAE government consumer portal: u.ae - Consumer Rights.
- For payment disputes, contact your bank or card issuer to request a chargeback if you believe charges are unauthorised or unfair.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Some readers report satisfactory content quality and useful scientific coverage for general interest readers.
Positive mentions often note usefulness for non-political science readers and overall content depth.
Negative feedback
- Common complaints: difficulty cancelling, lack of clear unsubscribe options and unexpected auto-renewals.
- Other issues: customer service delays and occasional website or app functionality problems reported by users.
Documentation checklist
Before contacting support
- Account email address and full name used for subscription.
- Subscription reference or order number (from confirmation email).
- Proof of payment (card statement, PayPal receipt) and date of charge.
When escalating
- Screenshots of account pages showing subscription status or lack of cancel button.
- Copies of all correspondence with New Scientist support.
- App store receipts if purchased via Apple or Google Play.
Common mistakes
Attempting to cancel in the wrong place
Example: trying to cancel an App Store subscription from the New Scientist website. If you subscribed via App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through that platform.
Always check where the original charge originated (Apple/Google/New Scientist) before proceeding.
Not saving confirmation
Example: assuming cancellation is processed without saving the confirmation email or screenshot. Without proof, disputes are harder to resolve.
Always keep a dated record of your cancellation request and any replies from support.
