The Bottom Line
You are in control of the accounts and permissions you connect to Unsubscribe.ai.
If you no longer want Unsubscribe.ai to access a connected account, you can revoke permissions. This removes or limits the connection used to help identify subscriptions, refresh account activity, and support subscription management features.
Depending on how your account was connected, you may be able to revoke permissions through Unsubscribe.ai, Plaid, or your financial institution's connected account settings.
Revoking permissions means removing authorization for Unsubscribe.ai to access information from a connected account.
When you first connect an account, you approve access so Unsubscribe.ai can use permitted information to help identify possible subscriptions and recurring charges. Revoking permissions removes that access going forward.
In simple terms:
Revoking permissions stops Unsubscribe.ai from continuing to access that connected account.
You may want to revoke permissions if:
You no longer use Unsubscribe.ai
You connected the wrong account
You want to connect a different account
You no longer want account activity refreshed
You canceled your Unsubscribe.ai plan
You requested data deletion
You are reviewing your privacy and security settings
You only wanted to use Unsubscribe.ai temporarily
Revoking permissions is one way to manage your privacy and keep your connected accounts up to date.
The easiest place to start is inside your Unsubscribe.ai account.
Log in using the email address connected to your Unsubscribe.ai account.
From your dashboard, look for a section such as:
Settings
Account Settings
Connected Accounts
Account Connections
Privacy & Security
Data & Privacy
The exact wording may vary depending on the version of the platform.
Find the bank, card, or financial account you want to remove.
If you have more than one account connected, make sure you select the correct account before continuing.
Select the option to remove the account connection.
This may appear as:
Disconnect Account
Remove Account
Unlink Account
Revoke Access
You may be asked to confirm that you want to remove the connection.
After confirming, the account should no longer appear as an active connected account in Unsubscribe.ai.
If your account was connected through Plaid, you may also be able to revoke access through Plaid's consumer tools.
This can help remove the connection from the account connection provider side.
The general process may look like this:
Go to Plaid's consumer privacy or account management tools
Sign in or verify your identity
Review apps connected through Plaid
Find Unsubscribe.ai
Select the option to remove or revoke access
Confirm the change
This helps ensure the connection is removed through Plaid, not only inside Unsubscribe.ai.
Some banks and credit card providers allow you to manage third-party app access directly from your online banking account.
To check this, sign in to your bank or card provider and look for a section such as:
Security
Privacy
Connected apps
Linked apps
Third-party access
Data sharing
Authorized applications
Open banking permissions
From there, you may be able to find Unsubscribe.ai, Plaid, or another connection provider and remove access.
Not every financial institution uses the same wording, so the exact location may vary.
After permissions are revoked, Unsubscribe.ai may no longer be able to refresh account activity from that connected account.
This may affect features such as:
New subscription detection
Updated transaction review
Subscription dashboard updates
Estimated spend updates
Cancellation tracking connected to account activity
Future subscription alerts or insights
Previously detected subscriptions may still appear in your dashboard depending on your account settings, plan status, and data retention rules.
Revoking permissions stops future access to a connected account.
It does not always delete information that was already collected or created while your account was connected.
For example:
Revoking permissions removes future access to the connected account.
Deleting your data requests removal of personal information associated with your Unsubscribe.ai account, subject to legal, security, billing, fraud prevention, dispute, and compliance requirements.
If you want to remove stored information, you should also submit a data deletion request.
Revoking account permissions does not automatically cancel your Unsubscribe.ai paid plan.
If you are on a paid plan and want to stop future Unsubscribe.ai billing, you should also cancel your plan through your billing or account settings.
These are separate actions:
Revoke permissions to remove account access
Cancel your plan to stop Unsubscribe.ai billing
Delete your data to request removal of stored personal information
Revoking permissions also does not cancel subscriptions with outside merchants.
For example, removing account access from Unsubscribe.ai does not cancel subscriptions such as:
Netflix
Spotify
Adobe
Apple subscriptions
Google Play subscriptions
PayPal automatic payments
Amazon subscriptions
Gym memberships
Software tools
Other recurring services
If you want to cancel an outside subscription, you need to cancel it directly with the merchant, through the original billing platform, or through Unsubscribe.ai cancellation assistance before access is removed.
If you are leaving Unsubscribe.ai completely, it may be helpful to revoke permissions before or around the same time you request data deletion.
A good order may be:
Review your dashboard and save any needed records
Check active cancellation requests
Cancel your Unsubscribe.ai plan, if applicable
Disconnect connected accounts in Unsubscribe.ai
Revoke access through Plaid or your bank, if available
Submit a data deletion request, if you want your information removed
This helps make sure both future access and stored information are addressed.
If you cannot find where to revoke permissions, try checking:
Unsubscribe.ai account settings
Connected accounts inside Unsubscribe.ai
Plaid's consumer privacy tools
Your bank's security or privacy settings
Your card provider's connected app settings
If you still need help, contact Unsubscribe.ai support.
When contacting support, include the email address connected to your Unsubscribe.ai account and the name of the financial institution you want removed. Do not send passwords, full bank account numbers, full card numbers, or one-time security codes.
You can revoke permissions when you no longer want Unsubscribe.ai connected to a financial account.
You may be able to remove access through Unsubscribe.ai, Plaid, or your bank's connected app settings.
Revoking permissions helps stop future account access, but it does not automatically cancel your Unsubscribe.ai plan, delete your data, or cancel outside merchant subscriptions. Those actions may require separate steps.
Unsubscribe.ai is designed to keep you in control of what you connect, what you remove, and how your account information is managed.
