Frequently asked questions
Cancel Locatemate: The Right Way
How to cancel Locatemate in singapore and protect your consumer rights
What is Locatemate and why you might want to cancel
Locatemate is a real-time GPS location-tracking service that lets you monitor friends, family, or assets through web and mobile applications. The service operates on a subscription model with both free and paid tiers. If you have signed up for premium and now wish to step back, understanding your cancellation options and consumer protections under Singapore law is essential. At Yafee, we help thousands of subscribers navigate subscription cancellations with clarity and confidence.
Understanding what Locatemate offers
The free tier includes email and text privacy features, physical address privacy, voice call privacy, custom labels, and unlimited location storage. The premium plan costs USD 5.00 per month (converted to SGD at your billing date) and provides enhanced functionality for users who require advanced tracking capabilities. You access Locatemate through their website or via iOS and Android mobile applications, making it accessible across devices.
Reasons you might cancel Locatemate
You may choose to cancel if you no longer require location tracking, prefer a competing service, want to reduce monthly expenses, or wish to pause your subscription temporarily. Whatever your reason, cancelling Locatemate should be straightforward and transparent. The steps in this guide will walk you through every stage, from logging into your account to confirming cancellation and verifying no further charges occur.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA) establishes specific protections for you as a consumer, though digital subscriptions operate under distinct rules compared to physical goods.
Cooling-off rights and digital subscriptions
Singapore's CPFTA typically grants you a 14-day cooling-off period for distance sales, allowing you to cancel contracts without penalty within that timeframe. However, digital subscriptions are often excluded from statutory cooling-off rights once service delivery has commenced. For Locatemate, this means you generally cannot invoke the 14-day right after the service activates. Nevertheless, Yafee recommends checking Locatemate's own terms of service to determine whether they voluntarily offer a shorter grace period on first purchase or a money-back guarantee.
Unfair contract terms and billing disputes
The CPFTA protects you against unfair contract terms. If Locatemate charges you without clear prior consent, fails to deliver promised features, or continues billing after you initiate cancellation, you have grounds to dispute the charge. Keep screenshots of your cancellation confirmation and all billing receipts as evidence. If Locatemate refuses to cooperate or continues charging you after cancellation, you can escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) for independent mediation and dispute resolution.
Your legal position
Under the CPFTA, you have the right to cancel any subscription service at any time, provided you follow the correct cancellation procedure. Once you submit a cancellation request through Locatemate's official channels, the company must cease charging you at the end of your current billing cycle. If you are charged after cancellation, you can request a refund and hold the company accountable through CASE. Yafee advises all subscribers to document every step of the cancellation process.
How to cancel Locatemate on the web
Cancelling via the Locatemate website is the most direct and documented route if you signed up online.
Step 1: log in to your Locatemate account
- Open your web browser and navigate to the official Locatemate website.
- Enter your registered email address in the login field.
- Enter your password and click "Log In".
- If you cannot remember your password, click the "Forgot Password" link and follow the email reset instructions.
Step 2: navigate to your account settings
- Once logged in, locate the account menu in the top-right corner of the screen.
- Click on your username or profile icon.
- Select "Account Settings" or "Profile" from the dropdown menu.
Step 3: access your subscription management section
- Within Account Settings, locate the "Subscriptions," "Billing," or "Plans" section.
- You will see your current subscription tier, renewal date, and monthly cost displayed.
- Take note of your next billing date, as your access will end on that date after cancellation.
Step 4: select the cancellation option
- Look for a button or link labelled "Cancel Subscription," "Pause Subscription," or "Manage Plan".
- Click this option to initiate the cancellation process.
Step 5: review the cancellation confirmation
- Locatemate will display a confirmation screen outlining the terms of cancellation.
- Verify the cancellation end date, which is the last day you will retain access.
- Confirm that no further charges will occur after this date.
- Take a screenshot of this confirmation page for your records.
Step 6: confirm cancellation
- Click the final "Confirm Cancellation" or "Cancel My Subscription" button.
- Locatemate will send a confirmation email to your registered address within minutes.
- Save this email as proof that you have successfully cancelled.
How to cancel Locatemate on mobile apps
If you manage your subscription through the iOS or Android app, the cancellation process is similarly straightforward.
Cancellation on iOS via app store settings
- Open the Apple App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select "Subscriptions".
- Find and tap "Locatemate" in your subscriptions list.
- Tap "Manage Subscription" or "Edit Subscription".
- Select "Cancel Subscription".

- 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 and tap "Locatemate" in your active subscriptions.
- Select "Cancel subscription".
- Choose your reason for cancellation from the dropdown menu.
- Confirm the cancellation.
- Google Play will send a confirmation email to your Google account.
- Verify the cancellation end date matches what was shown on your device.
Refund timelines and financial considerations
Understanding when you will lose access and whether you are entitled to a refund is critical to managing your cancellation.
When your access ends
When you cancel Locatemate, your subscription will terminate at the end of your current billing cycle. You retain full access to all premium features until that date. For example, if your subscription renews on the 15th of each month and you cancel on the 1st, you will have access until the 15th. Locatemate will not charge you on the 15th because you have already cancelled. Ensure you take any necessary screenshots or data exports before your access ends.
Refund eligibility
Refunds for Locatemate are typically limited. If you cancel within the voluntary grace period (if one exists in their terms), you may be eligible for a full or partial refund. If you cancel after that period, Locatemate will not issue a refund for the remainder of your billing cycle, as they have already delivered the service. If you believe you have been charged unfairly or after cancellation, contact CASE immediately with your billing receipts and cancellation confirmation. Yafee recommends requesting a refund directly from Locatemate's support team in writing before escalating.
Payment method and billing records
Verify which payment method Locatemate is using (credit card, debit card, or digital wallet). After cancellation, monitor your bank statements for 30 days to ensure no further charges appear. If an unauthorized charge occurs after cancellation, contact your bank immediately and provide them with your cancellation confirmation email. Your bank can initiate a chargeback under the Banking Regulation Act if necessary.
What to do after cancellation
Cancelling is just the beginning of protecting your account and data. Take these steps immediately after you receive your cancellation confirmation.
Verify your cancellation confirmation email
Locatemate will send a confirmation email to your registered address within minutes of cancellation. This email contains your cancellation date and access termination date. If you do not receive this email within one hour, check your spam folder. If it remains missing, log back into Locatemate and screenshot your account settings showing "Cancelled" or "No Active Subscription." This serves as backup proof if disputes arise later.
Monitor your billing statements
Check your credit card, debit card, or bank statements weekly for the next 30 days. Look specifically for any charges from Locatemate, the app store, or Locatemate's payment processor. If an unauthorized charge appears after your cancellation end date, report it to your bank immediately and provide your cancellation confirmation as evidence. Your bank will investigate and potentially reverse the charge within 10 business days.
Log out and remove stored credentials
Log out of your Locatemate account on all devices where you were logged in. On your mobile phone, delete the Locatemate app if you no longer need it. If you have stored your Locatemate password in your browser or password manager, delete or update it to prevent accidental re-subscription. Yafee advises users to remove auto-fill data to avoid any future payment mishaps.
Common mistakes that delay or complicate cancellation
Cancellation mistakes are frustrating but preventable. Below are the most common errors Yafee sees subscribers make, and how to avoid them.
Failing to confirm cancellation in writing
Many users believe that deleting the app or stopping use of the service constitutes cancellation. It does not. You must follow the official cancellation procedure and retain written proof. If Locatemate later claims you never cancelled, your confirmation email is your only defence under consumer law. Never rely on verbal promises from support staff; always request cancellation through the app or website and save the confirmation.
Cancelling too close to the billing date
If you cancel within 24 hours of your subscription renewal date, some systems may process the renewal before registering your cancellation. To avoid this, cancel at least 48 hours before your next billing date. Check your renewal date in the Subscriptions section before initiating cancellation, and circle that date on your calendar to allow a safety margin.
Confusing cancellation with pause
Some subscription services offer a "Pause" option that temporarily suspends charges but does not fully cancel your account. Pausing still leaves your account active and may resume automatic charges after the pause period ends. Select "Cancel" or "Terminate Subscription", not "Pause", to ensure your account closes completely. If Locatemate only offers a pause option, request full cancellation through the support contact form.
Not checking for auto-renewal terms
Some subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel within a specific window. Before signing up, read Locatemate's auto-renewal policy in their terms of service. If the policy states that cancellation must occur 30 days before renewal, mark that deadline in your calendar. Yafee recommends setting a phone reminder one week before the cancellation deadline to ensure you do not miss it.
Pricing and subscription comparison
Understanding Locatemate's pricing structure helps you decide whether the cost justifies continuing your subscription.
| Plan | Monthly cost (SGD) | Key features | Billing cycle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Email privacy, text privacy, custom labels, unlimited labels, mobile app | Ongoing |
| Premium | ~$7 | All free features plus enhanced GPS tracking, priority support, advanced analytics | Monthly auto-renewal |
| Annual (if available) | ~$70 (discounted) | All premium features, billed once per year | Annual auto-renewal |
If you are spending SGD 7 per month and using the service infrequently, cancelling and reverting to the free tier may be sensible. Yafee's cost-benefit analysis suggests that any subscriber who uses Locatemate fewer than twice per month should evaluate whether premium features justify the expense. Compare Locatemate's premium features against competing location-tracking apps to ensure you are receiving fair value.
How to contact Locatemate support if cancellation fails
If you have attempted cancellation and the system does not process your request or you continue to be charged, escalate to Locatemate's support team immediately.
Direct support contact
Most subscription services provide support via email, live chat, or a contact form on their website. Locate Locatemate's contact page and select "Billing," "Subscriptions," or "Account Issues" as your category. In your message, include your full name, email address, account registration date, cancellation date, and a screenshot of your cancellation attempt. Request written confirmation of cancellation and an explanation if charges continue. Keep a copy of your support ticket number for reference.
Escalation to consumer authorities
If Locatemate does not respond to your cancellation request within 7 business days, or if they refuse to cancel and refund you, escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE provides mediation and dispute resolution for consumer complaints free of charge. You can file a complaint online at case.org.sg with copies of your cancellation requests, confirmation emails, and billing statements. CASE will contact Locatemate and attempt to resolve the dispute within 30 days. If mediation fails, you may pursue a claim in the Small Claims Tribunal if the amount is under SGD 10,000.
Key steps to remember before you cancel

Summary and next steps
Cancelling Locatemate in Singapore is a straightforward process when you follow the correct legal and procedural steps. Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, you retain the right to cancel at any time, and the company must cease billing you at the end of your current cycle. Whether you cancel via web or mobile app, always obtain written confirmation and retain it as evidence. If Locatemate refuses to honour your cancellation or charges you after you have submitted a valid cancellation request, escalate to CASE for mediation.
Monitor your billing statements closely for 30 days after cancellation to ensure no further charges occur. If you are charged illegally, your bank and the Small Claims Tribunal are available remedies.
