What happens after cancellation

VPN connections stop working at the end of your paid period.
NordPass (password manager, Plus tier) and NordLocker (storage, Complete tier) also lock.
Account is preserved — re-subscribe later to reactivate.
Saved bookmarks of favorite servers, settings, and devices are remembered for next subscription.

Will I lose my data, playlists, or history?

NordVPN's no-logs policy means no browsing history is retained. Your account profile and payment history are kept indefinitely unless you request deletion via Account Settings > Delete Account. NordVPN has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers for the no-logs claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1Can I get a refund on my NordVPN plan?

NordVPN has a 30-day money-back guarantee — request a refund via Live Chat at nordvpn.com/contact. After 30 days, refunds are at NordVPN's discretion. Apple/Google Play subscriptions follow those stores' refund policies.

Q2What's a good free VPN alternative?

Proton VPN has a genuinely free tier (unlimited data, 3 server locations, slower speeds). Cloudflare WARP (1.1.1.1 app) is free but doesn't provide IP-changing benefits. Avoid 'free' VPNs that sell your data — they're often worse than no VPN.

Q3Should I switch to a different paid VPN?

ExpressVPN, Mullvad, and Proton VPN are top-tier alternatives. Mullvad has the strongest privacy (no email required, accepts cash) at €5/mo flat. Proton VPN combines well with Proton Mail. ExpressVPN has slightly better speeds at higher price.

Q4Will my NordPass password vault be lost when I cancel NordVPN Plus?

Your saved passwords stay encrypted in NordPass for ~30 days after subscription ends, in read-only mode. Export your vault to CSV via NordPass Settings > Import/Export before cancelling. Import into Bitwarden (free) or another manager.
