User Account Deletion Feature

Problem/Feature Description

A SaaS platform is receiving increasing pressure from enterprise customers and compliance teams to support full account deletion. Right now, when a customer cancels their subscription, their data remains in the system indefinitely — there is no way for users to permanently remove their account and associated data. GDPR and CCPA compliance reviews have flagged this gap.

The product team has been asked to define what account deletion means for this platform. Users need a way to request deletion of their account, and the system needs to handle the downstream implications: cancelling any active subscriptions, anonymising audit records the platform must retain by law, removing personally identifiable information, and notifying third-party integrations that hold copies of user data.

The engineering lead has asked for a formal requirements document before any work begins, so the team can agree on scope and explicitly call out what is out of scope for this first version.
