If you set your subscription to "Autorenew", then your paypal account sets up an automatic "Pre-approved Payment" in your paypal account, and every year, on the date specified, paypal will make your dues payment to AK.
If you go to the My Money section in your paypal account, and check under Pre-approved Payments, you, and only you, are able to edit/cancel the recurring payment.
Contrary to popular misconception, neither AK, nor I, can go in and shut that off.
