How to cancel your Netflix subscription: The first step
Visit netflix.com/cancelplan and enter your email address and password to cancel your Netflix subscription. Upon logging in, you’ll be presented with a choice of two. To save money each month, you can cancel your account and keep using it until the next billing date, or you can downgrade your plan to save money each month. Here is a comparison of all Netflix subscriptions.
Next, click the Finish Cancellation button.
A third-party provider, such as your wireless carrier, will need to be contacted in order to terminate your Netflix account.
Netflix will retain all of your personal information for a period of 10 months after you cancel your subscription. As a result, things like your viewing history and account profiles will be preserved if you decide to reactivate your subscription during that time period, as well as your favorites.
Netflix still has your personal info and viewing history
To have all of your personal data deleted before the 10-month period ends, you’ll need to take an additional step. It makes sense that Netflix would keep this information.
Email “privacy@netflix.com” with your Netflix account email address to ensure your information is safe and secure. Using a different email address that references the email linked to your Netflix account will not be accepted as a Netflix request. As a rule, it has to come from the same location.
