What happens when you cancel

Access to paid features

When you cancel a paid Proton subscription you keep paid features until the end of the current billing period. Service access does not end immediately on cancellation.

Account and data

Your email account, messages and stored data remain available according to Proton’s retention and account policies. Deleting an account is a separate action from cancelling a paid subscription.

Will I get a refund?

• Proton allows full or prorated refunds if you cancel and request a refund within 30 days of the initial purchase.
• Refunds are processed in about 30 days and Proton permits one refund per user.
• Cash or bank‑transfer payments are not refundable.
• See Proton’s terms: Proton legal terms.

App Store and Google Play purchases

Your consumer rights in Singapore

No statutory 14‑day cooling‑off for digital subscriptions

Under Singapore law there is no automatic 14‑day cooling‑off right for digital subscription services like ProtonMail. The 30‑day refund window Proton publishes is a contractual policy, not a statutory entitlement.

Limits of remedies and platform purchases

• Singapore consumers rely on Proton’s published terms for refunds; refunds beyond that are at Proton’s discretion.
• Purchases billed via Apple or Google fall under their platform rules rather than Proton’s direct obligations.
• Reference: Postclic summary and Proton terms: Postclic - cancel ProtonMail, Proton legal terms.

Documentation checklist

What to prepare before cancelling

• Login credentials for your Proton account (email / password).
• Subscription details: purchase date, payment method, and order or invoice number.
• Record of any correspondence with Proton support (ticket numbers, dates).

If you paid via app store

• Apple ID or Google account info for subscription management and refund requests.
• Store purchase receipts or screenshots showing the subscription charge.

Common mistakes

Cancelling the wrong place

Example: Users try to cancel in their Proton web account while their subscription is billed through the App Store. That does not stop future charges from Apple.

Always check where the payment was billed (Proton vs Apple vs Google) before cancelling.

Expecting automatic refunds

Example: Some users expect an automatic refund after cancelling but miss the 30‑day window for direct purchases or assume Proton can refund App Store charges.

Refund rules differ by payment method; check Proton’s 30‑day policy and store refund procedures before assuming a refund will be issued.
