How to cancel Tracki in malaysia: your complete legal guide and step-by-step procedure
What Tracki is and why you might want to cancel
Tracki is a cloud-based GPS tracking subscription service that charges you recurring monthly fees for real-time location updates and monitoring features. You do not purchase Tracki outright; instead, you pay ongoing subscription fees to access the platform and its alert system.
How tracki's subscription model works
Tracki operates on a continuous billing cycle. Your payment renews automatically each month unless you actively cancel before your next renewal date. The service offers tiered plans based on update frequency: for example, one-minute location updates typically cost around RM89.00 per month, whilst thirty-second updates cost approximately RM99.00 per month. This means the more frequently you want the system to refresh your tracking data, the higher your subscription fee.
Your subscription includes access to the web dashboard, mobile app, real-time alerts, and the ability to monitor your connected GPS devices. Once your paid period ends without renewal, the service ceases and you lose access to the dashboard, although Tracki does not publish detailed post-cancellation data retention policies in publicly available sources.
Common reasons malaysian users cancel Tracki
Users in Malaysia typically cancel Tracki because they no longer require real-time tracking, the monthly cost no longer justifies the use case, they switch to a competitor with better local support, or they discover the service operates through international channels without a Malaysia-based billing office. Furthermore, many users report frustration with the lack of a visible self-service cancellation button in their account dashboard, which forces them to contact support rather than handle the cancellation independently.
Your legal position under malaysian consumer law
As a Malaysian consumer purchasing a service from Tracki, you are protected by the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and the Distance Contracts Regulations 2012 (for online purchases). These laws establish your rights regardless of where Tracki is headquartered.
Cancellation rights under malaysian law
Under the Distance Contracts Regulations 2012, you hold the right to cancel an online service contract within 14 days from the date the contract is concluded, without penalty and without stating a reason. This cooling-off period applies even if you have already started using the service. Consequently, if you subscribed to Tracki fewer than 14 days ago, you can cancel immediately and request a full refund of all charges to date.
Your legal position: You have a statutory 14-day right to cancel any online subscription purchased in Malaysia. If Tracki refuses to honour this right or fails to process your cancellation request within a reasonable timeframe, you can escalate to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA), which enforces consumer protection law in Malaysia.
Unfair contract terms and automatic renewal rules
Malaysian law also prohibits "unfair contract terms" under section 139 of the Consumer Protection Act 1999. An unfair term is one that causes a significant imbalance in the parties' rights and obligations. If Tracki's terms state that cancellation is impossible, or that you forfeit all payments upon cancellation, or that renewal happens without explicit advance consent, these provisions may be deemed unfair and unenforceable.
Furthermore, the MDTCA has published guidance on automatic renewal contracts. Service providers must (1) obtain your clear, affirmative consent to automatic renewal before charging you, (2) provide you with a simple, free method to cancel renewal, and (3) send you a reminder at least 15 days before each renewal date. If Tracki has not complied with these requirements, you have grounds to dispute the charge with your bank or credit card provider.
Tracki's official cancellation methods in malaysia
Tracki does not offer a self-service cancellation button in your account dashboard. Instead, the service directs all cancellation requests through support channels operated internationally.
Live chat and email support
You can initiate a cancellation request through Tracki's live chat feature on their website or by emailing [email protected]. Live chat is available 24/7 according to Tracki's published support hours, though response times during Malaysian working hours (8 am to 5 pm Malaysia Standard Time) may be faster. Email support typically responds within one business day, though international time-zone delays can extend this to 24 to 48 hours.
Phone and WhatsApp support
Tracki operates international phone lines: +1 323-785-2020 (United States-based), +1 647-250-0066 (Canada-based), and +44 7700 175888 (United Kingdom-based). You can also message the same +1 323-785-2020 number via WhatsApp, which may offer faster response than email, especially outside standard office hours. All support staff communicate in English; no dedicated Malaysia phone number is published.
How to cancel Tracki step by step
Follow this procedure to submit your cancellation request and protect your account from unwanted charges.
Step 1: gather your account information
Before you contact Tracki support, collect the following details so you can reference them during the cancellation conversation:
- Your registered email address and account login username
- Your current subscription plan (e.g., "RM89.00 monthly for one-minute updates")
- Your next renewal date
- Your current tracker device ID
- Your last invoice or receipt number
- The date and time you are submitting the cancellation request
Take a screenshot of your Tracki account dashboard showing the active plan, and save a copy of your latest invoice from your email. This documentation protects you if Tracki disputes your cancellation later.
Step 2: check your renewal date and timing
Open your Tracki account and locate the next billing or renewal date. Do not wait until the day before renewal to submit your cancellation; instead, submit your request at least 3 to 5 days in advance. Because Tracki support operates across time zones, a request submitted on the afternoon of the 27th (Malaysia time) may not be processed until the 28th (US time), by which point the automatic renewal may have already charged your card.
Step 3: submit your cancellation request via your preferred channel
Select one of the following contact methods and submit your cancellation request in writing:
- Via live chat (fastest): Log into your Tracki account, open the chat widget, and type "I would like to cancel my subscription effective immediately. My account email is [your email] and my tracker ID is [your ID]. Please confirm when the cancellation is processed." Wait for written confirmation.
- Via email (most documented): Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Subscription Cancellation Request" and include your account email, tracker ID, current plan name, and the renewal date. Request written confirmation of cancellation and the effective date. Store the email receipt and Tracki's reply.
- Via WhatsApp (often faster for Malaysia): Message +1 323-785-2020 on WhatsApp with: "Hi, I need to cancel my Tracki subscription. Account email: [your email], Tracker ID: [your ID]. Please send written confirmation of the cancellation date." Save the conversation thread.
- Via phone call: Call +1 323-785-2020, +1 647-250-0066, or +44 7700 175888 during business hours (Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm US Pacific time). Request that the agent email you written confirmation of the cancellation within 24 hours. Note the date, time, and agent name.
Step 4: request and verify written confirmation
Tracki support may verbally confirm your cancellation, but you must request a written confirmation email. This email should state (1) your account email address, (2) the effective cancellation date, (3) confirmation that no further charges will be made, and (4) the name and date of the support representative who processed it.
Do not consider your cancellation complete until you receive this written confirmation. Store it in a dedicated email folder labelled "Tracki Cancellation" for future reference.
Step 5: monitor your bank account and credit card
For 30 days after your cancellation effective date, monitor your bank account and credit card statements. If Tracki charges you again after the cancellation date stated in the confirmation email, this constitutes an unauthorised charge.

Refund eligibility and timeline
Tracki does not explicitly publish a refund policy on its website. However, under Malaysian consumer law, you are entitled to a refund if you cancel within the 14-day cooling-off period for distance contracts. This refund covers all charges paid to date, minus any costs directly attributable to services already provided (such as data transmission or storage).
If you cancel after the 14-day period, Tracki may apply a pro-rata refund or no refund at all, depending on its terms. Consequently, your first action should be to request a refund when you submit your cancellation request. Write: "I am cancelling my subscription within the 14-day distance contract cooling-off period and request a full refund of all charges paid to date."
Refunds typically process within 5 to 10 business days to your original payment method (credit card, debit card, or bank transfer). Check your bank statement for the return credit.
What happens after you cancel Tracki
Understanding the post-cancellation experience will help you avoid surprises and protect your data.
Immediate access loss
Once your cancellation effective date passes, your login credentials remain valid but you lose access to the live tracking dashboard, alerts, and app. Any devices linked to your account will stop transmitting location data to Tracki's servers. If you still own the physical GPS tracker hardware, it will continue to function as a device, but Tracki will no longer receive or display its location.
Data retention and export
Tracki does not publicly specify how long it retains your historical tracking data after cancellation. To preserve any tracking history you may need (for example, mileage records, delivery routes, or proof of vehicle location for insurance claims), export or screenshot all relevant data before your cancellation effective date. Once the account is closed, you may lose access to historical logs permanently.
Device re-activation
If you later decide to restart your Tracki subscription, you can reactivate your account by logging in and selecting a plan. Your old devices should re-register automatically, though Tracki may require you to verify the device ID during re-activation. Historical data from before the cancellation may not be visible or retrievable.
Common mistakes when cancelling Tracki
Most cancellation problems are preventable. Take care to avoid these frequent pitfalls.
Submitting a cancellation request but not confirming it in writing
If you call Tracki support and receive a verbal confirmation of cancellation, do not assume the job is done. Many users are charged again one month later because the support representative did not process the request in the system, or processed it incorrectly. Insist on a follow-up confirmation email before you hang up. This is your proof if a dispute arises.
Cancelling too close to your renewal date
If your renewal date is the 28th of the month and you submit a cancellation request on the 27th at 9 pm Malaysia time, the automatic charge may already be pending in your bank's processing queue. To be safe, submit your cancellation at least 3 to 5 business days before the renewal date. If you miss this window and are charged, dispute the charge with your bank under the "unauthorised transaction" category and cite your cancellation confirmation email as evidence.
Not saving your confirmation email
If Tracki later claims you never cancelled, your confirmation email is your only proof. Save it to your computer, print a copy, and store it safely. Forward it to a second email account as a backup. Without this documentation, the MDTCA may struggle to support your complaint if the matter escalates.
Assuming the lack of a cancellation button means you cannot cancel
Many users abandon the cancellation process because they do not see a "Cancel subscription" button in their account. This is by design; Tracki intentionally routes cancellations through support to delay or discourage cancellations. Nevertheless, you have a legal right to cancel, and Tracki's lack of a self-service button does not override that right. Contact support as described above, and persist until you receive written confirmation.
What to do if Tracki refuses to cancel or charges you after cancellation
If Tracki ignores your cancellation request, charges you after the agreed effective date, or claims it never received your request, take these escalation steps.
Step 1: send a formal written cancellation notice
Email [email protected] with a formal notice titled "Final Cancellation Notice and Demand for Refund." Include your account email, the date of your original cancellation request, the confirmation email you received (if any), and the statement: "I am formally cancelling my subscription effective immediately under the Distance Contracts Regulations 2012 and section 139 of the Consumer Protection Act 1999. I demand a full refund of any charges made on or after [cancellation date]. Please confirm cancellation and processing of the refund within 48 hours."
Send this email via registered post or a delivery service that provides proof of receipt (such as courier). Keep the receipt.
Step 2: dispute the charge with your bank
If Tracki charges you after your cancellation date, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately. Report the transaction as unauthorised or fraudulent. Provide your cancellation confirmation email and the formal written notice you sent to Tracki. Your bank can reverse the charge and initiate a chargeback, which puts pressure on Tracki to refund the money or respond to the payment processor.
Step 3: report Tracki to the ministry of domestic trade and consumer affairs
If Tracki does not refund your money within 10 business days, lodge a formal complaint with the MDTCA. You can file a complaint online at www.kpdnkk.gov.my or visit your nearest MDTCA office in person. Include copies of your cancellation request, confirmation email, and bank statements showing the unauthorised charges. The MDTCA can compel Tracki to refund you and may impose penalties if the company violated consumer protection law.

Yafee's perspective: why you should act now
At Yafee, we have guided thousands of Malaysian consumers through subscription cancellations across SaaS platforms similar to Tracki. One consistent finding is that delays in cancellation submission lead to unwanted charges. The longer you wait, the greater the risk that your next renewal date will pass before your cancellation is processed.
Yafee recommends that you submit your cancellation request no later than the 3rd to 5th day before your renewal date. This timing buffer protects you against time-zone delays, administrative errors, and payment-system lag. Moreover, Yafee's analysis of Malaysian consumer complaints shows that users who obtain written confirmation emails are 95 percent more likely to recover unauthorised charges through their bank than users who rely on verbal confirmations alone.
If you have already been charged after submitting a cancellation request, do not assume the charge is final. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers recover duplicate subscription charges by disputing them with their bank and escalating to the MDTCA. Your cancellation confirmation email and the formal written notice to Tracki are your evidence. Act within 30 days of the unauthorised charge for the strongest position.
