# How do I cancel my plan?

**You can cancel your paid plan at any time, and all future billing will stop.**

After you cancel, your plan stays active until the end of your current billing term, so you still get the full value of your last payment. Once the term ends, your account automatically moves to the Free Basic tier.

### Refunds
We don't offer pro-rated refunds for plans cancelled partway through a billing period. However, our [30 day money back guarantee](https://help.optery.com/en/article/how-does-your-30-day-money-back-guarantee-work-1f5gimr/) always applies.

|| How to stop auto-renew? By default, Optery's subscriptions auto-renew at the end of your billing term (i.e. Monthly or Yearly). Simply cancel your plan at any time using the instructions below to stop the auto-renew process. After your paid plan is cancelled, all future billing will stop, but your plan will remain active for the remainder of your billing term, and then will downgrade automatically to the Free Basic tier AFTER your billing term ends so you receive the value of your last subscription payment.

### Steps to cancel your account:

1. [Log in](https://app.optery.com/login) to your Optery account
2. Click on [Account](https://app.optery.com/account) in the left navigation
3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and then click the red button that says "Cancel Plan"

| If you don't see the **Cancel Plan** option on your account, just [chat with us](https://help.optery.com/en) or email <support@optery.com>. Our Customer Support team will be happy to assist your further. 

### What happens to my removals after I cancel?&#xA;
Your removed profiles don't immediately reappear on data brokers after you cancel. However, every data broker handles opt outs differently. Some honor them indefinitely, while others need ongoing monitoring to keep your information removed. That's why we recommend keeping your Optery account active on an ongoing basis.
