Read docs/index.md and the data model. List everything stored about a user across the database, object storage, the email provider, analytics, logs and any identity provider. Add to settings an export as a file the user can download, and a delete account action behind a fresh sign-in, with a plain statement of what happens. Mark the account deleted at once, end its sessions and remove its data after a stated grace period with a scheduled job, including its records at other providers. Write what is kept for legal reasons and why into docs/. Test that nothing holding that user's id remains after the period.
