Can I still access my data after cancelling?

No. Once the cancellation takes effect at the end of your billing cycle, you lose all access to your account data including tickets, leads, users, channels, and business rules. Export any data you need before the billing cycle ends.

Can I reactivate my account after cancelling?

You can restore your account before the current billing cycle ends by contacting Zendesk Sales or Support. Once the billing cycle ends and the account is fully cancelled, reactivation may not be possible and data may be permanently deleted.

What happens to my data after cancellation?

Account data is deleted in accordance with Zendesk's Service Data Deletion Policy after cancellation takes effect. You should export tickets, contacts, and any other important data before your billing period ends.

Who is allowed to cancel the account?

Only the account owner can cancel a Zendesk account. Billing admins and regular agents do not have this permission. If the current owner is unavailable, you must first transfer account ownership before cancelling.

Can I cancel if I'm on an annual contract?

Annual contract customers (sales-assisted accounts) cannot self-cancel through the Admin Center. You must contact your Zendesk account representative and provide at least 30 days written notice before the end of your subscription term as required by the Customer Agreement.
