Cancellation Mullvad: Easy Method

What is Mullvad

Overview

Mullvad is a privacy-focused VPN service that encrypts internet traffic and aims to minimize data collection. It uses anonymous account numbers and a strict no-logs approach to protect user privacy.

Key characteristics

Mullvad emphasizes anonymity, supports WireGuard and OpenVPN protocols, and offers one-time payment durations rather than traditional recurring subscriptions. The service is managed from Sweden and is used worldwide.

How to cancel Mullvad

General context

Most Mullvad plans are one-time payments and do not auto-renew, so cancelling is often just a matter of not renewing or not making another payment. Legacy auto-renewing subscriptions exist for some older PayPal/credit-card payments.

Step-by-step cancellation

• If you paid directly (one-time payment): do not make another payment when your paid period ends; service stops at the end of the paid time.
• For legacy auto-renew via PayPal or credit card: log into your Mullvad account and go to Account → Subscriptions → Unsubscribe to stop future renewals. See guidance: postclic: how to cancel.
• iOS (App Store) purchases: you must cancel through Apple. Open Settings → Your Name → Subscriptions → Mullvad VPN → Cancel. Mullvad cannot cancel App Store subscriptions for you. Source: postclic.
• Android (Google Play) purchases: cancel via Google Play Store → Payments & Subscriptions → Subscriptions → Mullvad → Cancel. Mullvad cannot cancel Play Store subscriptions from its side. Guidance: postclic.

What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

If you stop paying at the end of a one-time period, access continues until the paid time expires. After expiry, your VPN access is disabled unless you pay again.

Account and data

Mullvad accounts rely on anonymous account numbers; cancelling or not renewing does not cause Mullvad to hold personal billing data because minimal personal data is collected. Check Mullvad's terms for details on data handling.

Will I get a refund?

Common mistakes

Attempting to cancel App Store subscriptions via Mullvad

Users sometimes contact Mullvad expecting the company to cancel App Store or Play Store subscriptions. Apple and Google control those subscriptions and must be used to cancel and request refunds for in-app purchases.

Choosing non-refundable payment methods

Paying by cash or cryptocurrency is anonymous but non-refundable. Some users choose these for privacy and later expect refunds, which Mullvad’s terms disallow.
