Your Netflix account is a gateway to an expansive universe of entertainment, a repository of your viewing preferences and history. But have you ever pondered what happens to your Netflix account when you die?

Netflix, recognizing the importance of addressing this digital footprint, has a clear process for managing your account after death: Account Cancellation.

Account Cancellation

Netflix's policy allows an immediate family member or executor to request the cancellation of your account after your death. This ensures that your viewing history and personal recommendations are removed from Netflix, leaving no digital trace of your account.

Memorialization

Unlike some platforms, Netflix does not currently offer a memorialization option. Once an account is cancelled, it cannot be accessed or used to view past viewing history or preferences.

While Netflix provides a way to manage your account after your death, it requires careful planning and communication with your family members or executor. This is where Snug steps in.

At Snug, we understand the importance of managing your digital legacy. Our platform helps you plan account cancellation after your demise. We ensure that your wishes are communicated clearly, thus reducing potential confusion and distress for your loved ones.

But Snug is more than just managing your Netflix afterlife. We offer a comprehensive approach to estate planning, helping you manage your digital assets, financial affairs, and end-of-life wishes on an easy-to-navigate and secure platform.

Our services include:

  1. Digital Estate Planning: We help you catalogue your digital footprint, including streaming accounts, social media, emails, and online banking, and decide what happens to them after your death.
  2. Document Storage: Store your important documents such as wills, trusts, and insurance policies in our secure platform.
  3. End-of-Life Planning: Record your wishes for funeral arrangements, organ donation, and other end-of-life decisions.
  4. Legacy Projects: Create projects that capture your life story and values to pass on to future generations.

In our increasingly digital world, managing your online presence after death is as essential as any other end-of-life arrangement. With Snug, you can face this reality with confidence, ensuring that your digital legacy aligns with your wishes and provides a sense of peace to your loved ones.

Snug is not just about planning for death; it's about celebrating life and ensuring that your legacy lives on, both in the hearts of your loved ones and in the digital world.
