How to cancel Mailtrack in new zealand and protect your refund rights
What is Mailtrack and why you might want to cancel
Mailtrack, now rebranded as Mailsuite, is an email tracking tool that integrates with Gmail to monitor when recipients open your messages, click your links, and read your content. The service operates as a browser extension or Google Workspace Add-on and offers both a free tier and paid subscription options.
Many New Zealand users rely on Mailtrack to track client communications, monitor recruiter responses, or follow sales email engagement. However, you may decide to cancel if you no longer need open and click tracking, prefer privacy-focused alternatives, or simply want to reduce your monthly software costs.
When cancellation makes sense for you
Cancel Mailtrack if tracking functionality no longer serves your workflow, if the monthly cost no longer justifies your usage, or if you have switched to a competing email tracking platform. Understanding your cancellation rights before you act protects you from losing money on unused subscriptions.
Premium features you will lose after cancellation
Mailtrack's paid plans include real-time open tracking, detailed link click analytics, read receipt notifications, and comprehensive reporting dashboards within Gmail. Once you cancel your subscription, your account reverts to the free version if available, and you lose access to all premium features immediately after your current billing cycle ends.
Your consumer rights in new zealand
New Zealand consumer law provides you with statutory protections that apply regardless of Mailtrack's stated cancellation or refund policy.
Consumer guarantees act 1993 protections
The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 requires Mailtrack to supply a service of acceptable quality, fit for the purpose you contracted it for, and delivered within a reasonable timeframe. If Mailtrack fails to meet these guarantees, you have the right to request a refund, repair, or replacement even if Mailtrack's standard refund policy imposes stricter conditions.
This means if Mailtrack fails to track emails accurately, experiences frequent service outages, or misrepresents its features in marketing materials, you can escalate your complaint beyond any published 7-day refund window. Yafee recommends you document all service failures with screenshots, timestamps, and records of when the problems occurred before contacting Mailtrack support.
Fair trading act 1986 and your cancellation rights
The Fair Trading Act 1986 protects you from misleading or deceptive conduct, false representations, and unfair contract terms. If Mailtrack's cancellation process is deliberately obscured, the company uses pressure tactics to prevent you from cancelling, or the terms of service contain unconscionable provisions, you can lodge a formal complaint with the Commerce Commission.
Keep comprehensive records of all communications with Mailtrack, including emails, screenshots of the cancellation process, and any responses from customer support. If Mailtrack fails to honour your cancellation request within 14 days or makes the cancellation process unreasonably difficult, those actions may breach your fair trading rights.
Your legal position
You hold the right to cancel Mailtrack at any point during your subscription, and no unfair term in Mailtrack's agreement can override the Consumer Guarantees Act or Fair Trading Act. If Mailtrack refuses to refund you after cancellation, or delays processing your cancellation request, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission, which enforces consumer law across New Zealand.
How to cancel Mailtrack via your gmail account
You can cancel Mailtrack directly through your Gmail interface, and the process requires only a few steps.
Step 1: log into the gmail account with your Mailtrack subscription
- Open Gmail at mail.google.com in your web browser.
- Check the account avatar in the top-right corner to confirm you are logged into the correct account that holds your Mailtrack subscription.
- If you use multiple Gmail accounts, switching to the wrong account will prevent you from accessing your Mailtrack subscription settings.
Step 2: locate the Mailtrack panel or extension icon
- Look for the Mailtrack icon or label, which typically appears in the right sidebar of your Gmail inbox or in your browser's extension menu.
- If you installed Mailtrack as a Gmail Add-on, the icon will appear within the Gmail interface.
- If Mailtrack is a browser extension, look in your browser's toolbar at the top-right of your screen.
- If you cannot see the Mailtrack icon, the extension may have been disabled; you can re-enable it in your browser's extension settings.
Step 3: open Mailtrack settings and locate subscription management
- Click the Mailtrack icon or menu button, usually represented by three horizontal lines or a gear icon.
- From the dropdown menu, select "Settings", "Account", or "Manage subscription".
- Yafee advises you to take a screenshot of your current plan and billing information before proceeding, so you have a record of your subscription status.
Step 4: access your subscription details and cancellation option
- Navigate to the "Subscription" or "Manage subscription" section within Mailtrack settings.
- Review your current plan type, monthly or annual billing cycle, and next billing date.
- Look for a "Cancel subscription", "Downgrade", or "Pause subscription" button.
Step 5: confirm your cancellation request
- Click the cancellation button and confirm your request when prompted.
- Mailtrack may display a retention offer, discount, or survey asking why you are cancelling; you are not obligated to respond to these prompts.
- Complete the cancellation process and note the confirmation date and reference number if provided.
Step 6: verify your cancellation via email confirmation
- Check your email inbox (the one associated with your Mailtrack account) for a cancellation confirmation email from Mailtrack.
- This email serves as your proof of cancellation and should specify the date your subscription ends and any refund details.
- If you do not receive a confirmation email within 24 hours, contact Mailtrack support directly to verify that your cancellation was processed.
Cancellation via email if you cannot access your account
If you cannot access your Gmail account or the Mailtrack extension, you can cancel by contacting Mailtrack support directly.
Contact Mailtrack support to cancel by email
- Send an email to Mailtrack's support team clearly stating your request to cancel your subscription.
- Include your full name, the email address associated with your Mailtrack account, and your subscription plan details.
- Explicitly state the date you wish your cancellation to take effect.

Refund policy and how to claim your refund
Mailtrack's standard refund policy permits you to request a refund within 30 days of your purchase or subscription start date if you are not satisfied with the service.
How refunds are calculated after cancellation
If you cancel a monthly subscription mid-cycle, Mailtrack calculates your refund on a pro-rata basis, meaning you receive a refund only for the unused days in your billing period. If you cancel an annual subscription, the refund is significantly larger because you have paid upfront for 12 months.
For example, if you purchased a 12-month Pro plan for NZD 290 and cancel after 60 days, your refund would be approximately NZD 241 (based on 305 remaining days of the 365-day year). Always request a detailed refund breakdown from Mailtrack support to verify the calculation is correct.
Steps to claim your refund after cancellation
- After you have cancelled your subscription via the steps outlined above, send a separate email to Mailtrack support requesting your refund.
- Include your cancellation confirmation email or reference number.
- State clearly the refund amount you are expecting based on your pro-rata calculation.
- Allow 7 to 14 business days for Mailtrack to process your refund.
- The refund will be credited back to the original payment method (credit card, PayPal, or bank account).
- Check your bank or payment provider's transaction history to confirm the refund has been received.
- If Mailtrack does not process your refund within 14 days, escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission.
- Yafee advises you to provide the Commerce Commission with copies of your cancellation email, refund request, and all communications from Mailtrack as evidence.
What happens to your data after you cancel
Cancelling Mailtrack does not automatically delete your account data or historical tracking records.
Data retention and account deletion
After cancellation, your account and tracking data remain stored on Mailtrack's servers unless you explicitly request permanent deletion. Your open tracking, link click history, and analytics reports will no longer be updated or accessible through the Gmail interface, but Mailtrack retains this data according to its privacy policy.
If you want your account completely deleted, you must submit a separate data deletion request to Mailtrack support. Under New Zealand's Privacy Act 2020 and the General Data Protection Regulation (if Mailtrack processes data from EU residents), you have the right to request erasure of your personal data. Yafee recommends you submit a formal deletion request at the same time you cancel your subscription to ensure no delays.
Uninstalling the Mailtrack extension
- After your subscription ends, uninstall the Mailtrack browser extension or remove the Gmail Add-on to prevent accidental reactivation.
- In Chrome, Firefox, or Safari, right-click the Mailtrack extension icon and select "Remove from Chrome" (or equivalent for your browser).
- In Gmail, go to Settings, then Add-ons, find Mailtrack, and click the trash icon to uninstall it.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Mailtrack
Cancelling a SaaS subscription requires attention to detail, and minor oversights can result in accidental charges or lost refund rights.
Mistake 1: confusing account deactivation with subscription cancellation
Disabling the Mailtrack extension or Add-on in Gmail does not automatically cancel your subscription or stop billing. Your monthly or annual charges will continue unless you explicitly cancel your subscription through the Mailtrack account settings or contact support directly. Always confirm cancellation in writing via email or screenshot confirmation.
Mistake 2: missing the 30-day refund window
Mailtrack's refund policy typically allows claims within 30 days of purchase or subscription start. If you wait more than 30 days after your first charge to request a cancellation or refund, you may lose your refund eligibility entirely. Request your refund immediately upon cancelling, not weeks later.
Mistake 3: failing to document your cancellation date
If a dispute arises about whether your cancellation was processed, you need written proof of the date you submitted your cancellation request. Take screenshots of your cancellation confirmation, save confirmation emails, and note the date and time. Yafee strongly advises against relying on verbal confirmation over a support chat.
Mistake 4: not checking your bank statement after cancellation
After cancelling, monitor your bank statement or credit card bill for the next 60 days to ensure Mailtrack does not charge you again. If an unexpected charge appears, contact your bank immediately and file a dispute. Provide your bank with your cancellation confirmation email as evidence.
Mistake 5: cancelling during a free trial and losing data
If you cancel during a free trial period, Mailtrack may delete your historical tracking data immediately. If you have tracked important client or sales communications, export any reports or data before you cancel.
After you cancel: what to expect
Cancellation is not instantaneous, and your account will remain active until the end of your current billing cycle.
Timeline after cancellation
On the date you submit your cancellation request, Mailtrack acknowledges your request and sets your account to "cancel at billing cycle end". This means if you are on a monthly plan and cancel on the 15th of the month, your access to premium features continues until the last day of that month. On the first day of the next month, your account reverts to the free tier and all premium features are disabled.
If you are on an annual plan and cancel mid-year, your premium access continues until the same date next year unless you request an immediate cancellation and refund. Clarify with Mailtrack support whether you prefer end-of-cycle cancellation or immediate cancellation with a pro-rata refund.
Switching to a competitor after cancellation
Before your Mailtrack access ends, export any tracking reports or data you need, as this information may not be accessible after cancellation. Competitor services like HubSpot, Outreach, or Yesware offer similar email tracking functionality. Yafee recommends comparing their pricing and features before committing to a new platform.
Escalation: what to do if Mailtrack refuses to cancel
If Mailtrack fails to process your cancellation or refund within the timeframes outlined above, you have formal enforcement options under New Zealand law.
Step 1: formal complaint to Mailtrack
- Send a final written request to Mailtrack support via email, clearly stating your cancellation request and the date you first requested cancellation.
- Include all previous cancellation emails, confirmation screenshots, and refund documentation.
- Set a deadline of 7 business days for a response and refund processing.
Step 2: lodge a complaint with the commerce commission
- If Mailtrack does not respond or process your refund within 7 days, file a formal complaint with the Commerce Commission, New Zealand's consumer protection authority.
- Visit www.commerce.govt.nz and use their online complaint form.
- Provide copies of all cancellation requests, refund claims, and correspondence from Mailtrack.
- Yafee advises you to include a timeline of events and the amount of money at stake.
Step 3: dispute the charge with your bank
- If Mailtrack continues to charge your credit card or bank account after you have cancelled, contact your bank and file a dispute or chargeback.
- Provide your bank with your cancellation confirmation email and a record of all charges after the cancellation date.
- Your bank can reverse unauthorized charges and investigate Mailtrack's practices.
Mailtrack does not publish a specific postal address for New Zealand customers, but you can reach their support team via email.
How to contact Mailtrack support
Send your cancellation or refund request to Mailtrack's support team at [email protected] or through the "Help" or "Contact us" section within the Mailtrack interface. Include your full name, email address associated with your account, and subscription details. Request a response within 5 business days and keep a copy of your email for your records.
Mailtrack's headquarters is located in Barcelona, Spain. If you escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission and Mailtrack fails to respond, the Commission can issue enforcement notices or pursue further action against the company for non-compliance with New Zealand consumer law.
