Information.Com is an online service that provides people searches, background reports and data-access subscriptions. It sells access to detailed reports and databases on a paid-subscription basis.
Subscriptions can be purchased directly on the website or through mobile app stores. Billing, access and support differ depending on where the subscription was bought.
- iOS (App Store): Cancel via your Apple ID settings (Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions). Information.Com cannot cancel App Store purchases for you.
- Android (Google Play): Cancel via Google Play app (Profile > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions > Cancel). Information.Com cannot cancel Google Play purchases for you.
- If you need a refund for an app-store purchase, request it through Apple or Google following their refund processes.
Timing and confirmation
- Provide cancellation requests at least three business days before the next billing date for direct web subscriptions.
- Ask for written confirmation (email) and retain it for records.
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
When you cancel a subscription purchased directly on the website, cancellation takes effect in the following billing cycle.
You will retain access until the end of the current paid period; the service does not pro-rate the remaining time.
Renewal and future billing
Cancelled subscriptions will not renew after the current billing period ends; ensure cancellation is confirmed to avoid future charges.
For app-store purchases, cancelling prevents future renewals but does not automatically remove past charges - refunds are subject to store policies.
Will I get a refund?

App-store refunds and exceptions
- For App Store purchases, request refunds from Apple using your Apple ID purchase history.
- For Google Play purchases, request refunds via Google Play support and policies: Google Play terms.

Your consumer rights in India
General statutory rights
Indian consumers have statutory protections under Indian consumer law for unfair trade practices and misleading advertising.
However, Information.Com’s site and terms do not reference India-specific statutory refund or cooling-off rights.
Practical implications for Indian users
- For direct web purchases, refunds are discretionary per Information.Com’s terms; statutory 14-day cooling-off is not referenced by the provider.
- For app-store purchases, Indian consumers must use Apple’s or Google’s refund mechanisms and applicable store terms.
Customer experiences
Negative feedback summary
Many online reviews report unexpected or high recurring charges after trials, and difficulty cancelling or obtaining refunds.
Complaints commonly describe baited-pricing (low trial followed by higher recurring fees) and frustration with customer support responsiveness.
Positive / mixed experiences
Some customers report successful resolution after contacting support, including refunds and account cancellations when issues were escalated.
Outcomes appear to vary case-by-case; keeping records of communication improves chances of a favorable resolution.
Documentation checklist
What to have ready
- Account email and username used to register with Information.Com.
- Last four digits of the payment method or transaction date for the charge in question.
- Screenshots of billing, subscription confirmation and any trial offer terms.
What to request and keep
- Ask for written confirmation of cancellation and any refund approvals.
- Save email threads, support ticket numbers and phone call dates/times.
Common mistakes
Assuming immediate refund
Many users expect an immediate prorated refund when cancelling mid-period; Information.Com’s policy is no prorated refunds for direct web subscriptions.
Do not assume cancellation equals refund - ask for explicit refund confirmation if you expect one.
Using the wrong channel
Trying to cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription via the website is a common mistake - those must be cancelled through the respective store settings.
Also, failing to allow three business days for web cancellation requests can result in an extra billing cycle.
