How you cancel your Private Internet Access (PIA) subscription depends on where you purchased it:
- Purchased directly from the PIA website: Cancel via the PIA Client Control Panel.
- Purchased through the Apple App Store: Cancel via Apple, as your subscription is managed by Apple, not PIA.
- Purchased with cryptocurrency: There is nothing to cancel. Your subscription is a one-time purchase and will simply expire at the end of the paid term unless you choose to manually renew it.

Cancel via the PIA Client Control Panel
To cancel your subscription, you need to turn off automatic
renewal. This stops PIA from billing you for your next cycle. Your account stays active until the end of your current paid term, and then it will not renew.
- Log in to your Client Control Panel.
- Under Next Billing, select Turn off auto-renewal.
- Confirm by selecting Turn off auto-renewal again if prompted.
- If asked for a cancellation reason, select one and choose Submit.
- You’ll then see an “Auto-renewal was successfully turned off” confirmation message.
Your subscription will now end at the end of your current paid term.
Cancel via the Apple App Store (iOS)
If you purchased PIA through the App Store, you need to cancel your subscription directly through Apple.
- Open the App Store app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your profile picture.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Find and tap Private Internet Access in the list.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
Your subscription will remain active until the end of the current billing period.
