Your Subscription Will Not Be Cancelled Automatically
Even if you delete your account, your Premium subscription purchased through the App Store or Google Play will not be cancelled automatically. To stop billing, you must cancel the subscription through the relevant store separately. We recommend cancelling BEFORE deleting your account.
iOS (iPhone / iPad)
Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → VAAZ → Cancel Subscription
Manage subscriptions on Apple →Android
Play Store app → Profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → VAAZ → Cancel
Manage subscriptions on Google Play →Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, and you keep Premium features until that date. For refund requests, contact Apple or Google directly — VAAZ cannot process refunds for purchases made through third-party stores.
Deletion from Third-Party Services
VAAZ also automatically deletes data tied to your account from these service providers:
- RevenueCat — subscriber profile (DELETE /v1/subscribers/{id} call, ~7 days)
- Convex — primary database (mutation triggered, instant)
- Sentry — user context info (instant)
- PostHog — distinct user ID (DELETE Person endpoint, ~30 days)
