Frequently asked questions
Cancel Ivacy: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Ivacy VPN in the philippines: your legal guide to stop auto-renewal charges
Why filipino users cancel Ivacy and what you need to know first
Ivacy is a VPN subscription service that encrypts your connection, masks your IP address, and allows you to access region-locked content securely. The company operates under PMG Pte. Ltd., with its corporate office in Singapore, which becomes relevant if you need to escalate a billing dispute or lodge a formal complaint.
Many Filipino users subscribe to Ivacy to secure their data on public Wi-Fi networks, bypass regional streaming restrictions, and maintain browsing privacy. The critical issue is that Ivacy operates on automatic renewal by default. Your payment method gets charged automatically when your plan expires, and if you do not cancel before that date, you lose the opportunity to prevent the next charge.
At Yafee, we understand that subscription services can become expensive if you forget to cancel before renewal. This guide walks you through every step, your legal rights under Philippine law, and how to recover money if Ivacy charges you improperly.
How ivacy's trial and pricing structure works
Ivacy offers a discounted 7-day trial period at approximately PHP 56 (USD 0.99) to attract new users. After those seven days, your subscription automatically converts to a full annual plan at approximately PHP 2,711 (USD 47.99) unless you cancel in time. This means you have exactly seven days from sign-up to decide whether you want the service, or you will face the annual charge automatically.
The company displays prices primarily in US dollars on its website, but your actual charge depends on your payment method and location. If you pay with a Philippine credit or debit card, you will see the PHP amount on your bank statement, converted at the prevailing exchange rate plus any processing fees your bank applies.
Payment methods and where Ivacy is available in the philippines
Ivacy is fully available to users in the Philippines, and customer support is accessible 24/7 through live chat and email. However, the service does not list localized payment options like GCash or Maya on its official support pages. Most Filipino users pay through international methods: credit or debit cards (Visa, Mastercard), PayPal, or app store billing via Apple App Store or Google Play.
Your cancellation method depends partly on where you purchased your subscription. A web purchase cancels differently than an App Store subscription. Yafee recommends checking your original receipt or confirmation email to confirm your payment channel before you start the cancellation process.
Your consumer rights under philippine law
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) is the primary legal framework protecting you when you cancel a subscription service.
What the consumer act guarantees you
Under the Consumer Act of the Philippines (RA 7394), companies must clearly disclose the terms of auto-renewal before you pay. They must provide an easy cancellation mechanism and honor refund requests if you cancel within a reasonable cooling-off period. For a 7-day trial, you have at least seven days to decide; for longer plans, the law implies you should have a fair opportunity to cancel before the next charge occurs.
The law specifically requires that cancellation channels are as convenient as the original sign-up method. If you subscribed online via email, Ivacy must allow you to cancel via email as well. This means email or live chat cancellation is not merely a convenience-it is a legal requirement under Philippine consumer protection law.
Your legal position on refunds and auto-renewal
If Ivacy charges you after you requested cancellation, or if they refuse to refund you within 30 days, you have the right to escalate your complaint. Document everything: your cancellation request (email screenshot or support ticket number), the charge on your bank statement, and any responses from Ivacy. You can file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Hotline at 1-300-1555 (landline) or through their online portal at www.dti.gov.ph. The DTI has successfully resolved dozens of cases where companies refused refunds for improperly renewed subscriptions.
If the DTI does not resolve your case within 30 days, you can escalate to the National Privacy Commission (NPC) if your data privacy was compromised, or pursue a small claims case in the Metropolitan Trial Court if the refund amount is under PHP 400,000. Most companies, including Ivacy, comply with DTI orders to avoid penalties.
How to cancel Ivacy on different platforms
Your cancellation process depends on where you bought your Ivacy subscription and which payment method you used.
Cancel Ivacy if you subscribed via the website or email
- Open your web browser and visit the Ivacy website (www.ivacy.com).
- Sign in to your account using your email and password.
- Navigate to your account settings or billing section (usually labeled "Account", "Settings", or "Subscription").
- Locate the option labeled "Cancel Subscription", "Manage Plan", or "Billing Details".
- Click the cancellation option and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm.
- If you cannot find the cancellation button in your account, contact Ivacy support immediately via email at [email protected] or live chat at their website.
- In your email or chat, state clearly: "I request immediate cancellation of my Ivacy subscription effective today. Please provide written confirmation of cancellation and confirm that no further charges will be made to my payment method."
- Keep a screenshot or copy of Ivacy's confirmation email.
Cancel Ivacy if you subscribed via the apple app store
- Open the Apple App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Subscriptions".
- Find Ivacy in the list and tap it.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" or "Edit Subscription".
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
- Apple will send you a confirmation email to your registered Apple ID email address.
- Note the cancellation date in the confirmation-you remain covered until that date.
Cancel Ivacy if you subscribed via google play
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions".
- Tap "Subscriptions".
- Find Ivacy and tap it.
- Tap "Cancel subscription".
- Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm cancellation.
- Google will email you a confirmation to your Google account email address.
Cancel Ivacy if you cannot access your account
- Contact Ivacy support directly at [email protected].
- In your email, provide:
- Your full name and the email address associated with your Ivacy account.
- Your payment method (credit card ending in XXXX, PayPal email, or app store account).
- The date you signed up.
- A clear statement: "I request cancellation of my subscription effective immediately. Please confirm that all auto-renewal charges will cease."
- Use live chat on the Ivacy website if email is slow-support staff can cancel your account in real time.
- Ask for a cancellation confirmation number or reference before you end the chat.
What to do after you cancel Ivacy
Cancellation does not happen instantly in all cases, and you must verify that your subscription has actually stopped.
Monitor your billing after cancellation
After you cancel, do not assume the process is complete. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Ivacy within 24 hours. If you do not receive one, send a follow-up email to [email protected] with your original cancellation request and ask for immediate written confirmation.
Monitor your bank or credit card statement for 30 days after your cancellation date. If Ivacy charges you again after you cancelled, contact your bank immediately and dispute the charge. Most banks in the Philippines honor disputes for unauthorized charges on subscriptions you cancelled, especially if you provide proof of your cancellation request.
Preserve your cancellation evidence
Screenshot or save your cancellation confirmation email, support ticket number, or live chat transcript. If Ivacy later claims you never cancelled, or if you need to file a DTI complaint, this evidence is essential. Yafee recommends creating a folder on your computer or phone dedicated to subscription cancellations-it takes seconds and saves hours of frustration if a company disputes your request.
How to get a refund from Ivacy
Refund eligibility depends on when you cancel relative to when you were charged and your payment method.
Refund timelines and your rights
If you cancel within the 7-day trial period before being charged the annual fee, you are entitled to a full refund of your trial payment (PHP 56). If you cancel after being charged the annual amount (PHP 2,711) but still within 7 days of that charge, the Consumer Act of the Philippines implies you have the right to request a refund, though Ivacy may argue their terms supersede this.
If you cancel after 7 days but before your annual plan expires, Ivacy typically does not offer pro-rata refunds-you lose the unused portion. However, if you cancel due to a service fault (the VPN does not work, your data was compromised, or Ivacy misrepresented its features), you can request a goodwill refund or escalate to the DTI for mediation.
How to request a refund from Ivacy
- Email [email protected] with the subject line: "Refund Request for Ivacy Subscription - Account [Your Email]".
- Include:
- Your full name and account email.
- The date you were charged.
- The charge amount (in PHP).
- Your cancellation date.
- The reason for your refund request (e.g., "Cancelled within 7 days of trial", "Service did not work as advertised", "Charged after I requested cancellation").
- Ask for a response within 7 days.
- If Ivacy refuses or does not respond within 14 days, file a complaint with the DTI at www.dti.gov.ph or call 1-300-1555.
If your bank or payment provider charged you
If you paid via credit card, debit card, or PayPal, you have additional protection. Contact your bank or PayPal directly and request a chargeback or dispute for "unauthorized renewal" or "cancelled subscription but charged anyway". Provide your cancellation confirmation or email as evidence. Most banks process chargebacks within 30 days and refund your account automatically if Ivacy cannot prove you authorized the charge after cancellation.
Pricing and comparison of Ivacy plans
Understanding Ivacy's cost structure helps you decide whether cancellation is the right move.
| Plan type | Duration | PHP cost (approx.) | USD cost (approx.) | Auto-renewal? | Cancellation deadline |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trial | 7 days | PHP 56 | USD 0.99 | Yes, to annual | Within 7 days of sign-up |
| Annual | 12 months | PHP 2,711 | USD 47.99 | Yes | Before renewal date |
| Monthly | 1 month | PHP 351 | USD 6.22 | Yes | Before renewal date |
| Quarterly | 3 months | PHP 988 | USD 17.49 | Yes | Before renewal date |
| 2-year | 24 months | PHP 5,073 | USD 89.99 | Yes | Before renewal date |
All prices are subject to exchange rate fluctuations and processing fees charged by your bank. If you pay with a Philippine-issued credit or debit card, the final charge on your statement may be higher due to foreign exchange markups.
Common mistakes when canceling Ivacy
Cancellation is straightforward, but many users make preventable errors that delay refunds or allow unwanted charges to continue.
Mistake one: canceling through the wrong channel
If you subscribed via the Google Play Store, canceling via the Ivacy website does not work. You must cancel through Google Play directly. Similarly, App Store subscriptions must be canceled in Apple's settings, not on Ivacy's website. Yafee has seen users cancel their account on the Ivacy website, believe they are done, and then get charged again because their app store subscription was still active. Always cancel through the same channel you used to subscribe.
Mistake two: not requesting written confirmation
Many users cancel via live chat and assume the cancellation is complete without saving proof. If Ivacy later charges you, you have no evidence of your cancellation request. Always request a confirmation email or ticket number, and screenshot the live chat conversation before you close it. This evidence is invaluable if you need to file a DTI complaint or dispute the charge with your bank.
Mistake three: assuming cancellation stops immediately
Ivacy's cancellation typically takes effect on your next billing date, not the day you request it. If you cancel on January 15 and your renewal date is January 20, you will still be charged on January 20 unless you cancel before that date. Check your account for your exact renewal date and cancel well before it-ideally at least 3 days in advance to allow processing time.
Mistake four: not monitoring your bank statement
After you cancel, check your bank statement for 60 days. If Ivacy charges you again, contact your bank immediately to dispute the charge. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to prove the charge was unauthorized. Yafee recommends setting a phone reminder for 30 days after your cancellation to check your statement manually.
Checklist for canceling Ivacy safely
Use this checklist to ensure you cancel Ivacy correctly and protect yourself from unwanted charges.
- Find your original Ivacy confirmation or receipt email to identify how you subscribed (website, App Store, or Google Play).
- Note your subscription renewal date-check your account settings or bank statement to confirm the date you will next be charged.
- Cancel at least 3 days before your renewal date to allow processing time.
- Cancel through the same channel you used to subscribe (web account, App Store, or Google Play-not multiple channels).
- Request written confirmation of cancellation (email confirmation or support ticket number).
- Screenshot or save your cancellation confirmation and any support correspondence.
- Monitor your bank or credit card statement for the next 60 days to confirm no charges occur.
- If you are charged after cancellation, contact your bank to dispute the charge within 30 days.
- If you need a refund and Ivacy refuses, file a complaint with the DTI at www.dti.gov.ph or call 1-300-1555.
When you should keep Ivacy instead of canceling
Cancellation is not always the right choice. Consider keeping Ivacy if any of these apply to you.
| Reason to keep Ivacy | Reason to cancel instead |
|---|---|
| You actively use the VPN every day on multiple devices. | You have not used it in 3 months or it sits idle on your phone. |
| You need to access streaming services or content blocked in the Philippines. | You found a free or cheaper alternative VPN that works better. |
| You travel internationally and need privacy on public Wi-Fi. | Your internet usage is minimal and privacy is not a priority for you. |
| Ivacy's annual plan (PHP 2,711/year) is cheaper than your monthly budget for security tools. | You are on a tight budget and have multiple unused subscriptions. |
| Ivacy has not had service outages or privacy issues in your region. | Ivacy had a data breach or service was unavailable for days in your area. |

Escalation: what to do if Ivacy refuses to cancel or refund
If Ivacy does not respond to your cancellation request within 7 days, or if they refuse to refund you after you have cancelled, escalate your complaint formally.
Step one: send a formal cancellation letter
Send a registered letter (with proof of delivery) to Ivacy's corporate address. This creates a legal record of your cancellation request. Address it to:
PMG Pte. Ltd.
Singapore
Attn: Accounts Department
Include in your letter: your full name, account email, the date you originally signed up, your subscription renewal date, the date you sent this letter, a clear statement that you cancel effective immediately, and a request for written confirmation within 7 days. Keep a copy for your records.
Step two: file a complaint with the DTI
If Ivacy does not respond to your registered letter within 14 days, or if they refuse your refund request, file a formal complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry. Visit www.dti.gov.ph or call the DTI Consumer Hotline at 1-300-1555. Provide:
- Your full name and contact details.
- Your Ivacy account email and subscription dates.
- Copies of your cancellation request email(s) and any responses from Ivacy.
- Your bank statement showing the charge(s) in question.
- A clear description of what you are asking the DTI to do (e.g., "Force cancellation and refund PHP 2,711").
The DTI typically resolves complaints within 30 days. If Ivacy does not comply with a DTI order, they face penalties and potential deregistration from operating in the Philippines.
Step three: dispute the charge with your bank
If you paid via credit card, debit card, or PayPal, contact your bank's dispute department and request a chargeback for "cancelled subscription but charged anyway" or "unauthorized recurring charge". Provide your cancellation confirmation as evidence. Most banks process chargebacks within 30 to 60 days and refund your account if Ivacy cannot prove you authorized the charge after you cancelled.
Contact and cancellation address for Ivacy
If you need to escalate your cancellation or refund request, use these contact methods and addresses.
| Contact method | Details | Response time (typical) |
|---|---|---|
| Email (recommended) | [email protected] | 24 to 48 hours |
| Live chat (fastest) | Available on www.ivacy.com | Real-time (24/7) |
| Registered mail (legal escalation) | PMG Pte. Ltd., Singapore | 7 to 14 days |
| DTI complaint (if company refuses) | www.dti.gov.ph or 1-300-1555 | 30 days |
Start with email or live chat for routine cancellations. Use registered mail only if Ivacy does not respond to email within 7 days. Escalate to the DTI only if Ivacy refuses your refund request or does not respond within 14 days of your cancellation request.
Canceling Ivacy is your right under the Consumer Act of the Philippines, and you do not need to justify your decision or pay a penalty. If Ivacy resists or charges you after you cancel, the law is on your side. Yafee has guided consumers through hundreds of VPN and subscription cancellations in the Philippines, and we stand ready to help you recover your money if you need it. Start your cancellation today, save your confirmation, and monitor your account-that is all it takes to protect yourself from unwanted charges.
