User Story: Account Deletion

Title:

Account Deletion

Description:

As a registered user, I want to be able to delete my account if I no longer wish to use the platform, so that my personal data is removed and I no longer have access to the platform.

Acceptance Criteria:

1. Access to Account Deletion:

   • The user should be able to access the account deletion option from their profile or account settings page.
   • The account deletion option should be prominently displayed but secure, requiring the user to be logged in.

2. Account Deletion Process:

   • Upon selecting the account deletion option, the user should be asked to confirm their decision to prevent accidental deletion.
   • The confirmation prompt should clearly state that account deletion is irreversible and that all data associated with the account will be permanently removed.

3. Final Confirmation:

   • After confirming, the account deletion process should begin, and the user should be logged out of the platform.
   • The system should permanently delete the user’s account and all associated data from the database.
   • A final confirmation email should be sent to the user, acknowledging that the account has been deleted.

4. Error Handling:

   • If the user attempts to delete their account without being logged in, they should be redirected to the login page.
   • The system should ensure that all data is securely removed and that no remnants of the user's information remain.

Definition of Done:

• The account deletion feature is fully implemented and accessible to logged-in users.
• The deletion process includes a confirmation step to prevent accidental deletions.
• The system securely deletes all user data and sends a final confirmation email.
• The account deletion process is thoroughly tested and documented, with no data retention issues.

Additional Notes:

• Priority: Medium
• Estimated Effort: 3 story points
• Dependencies: User authentication and email service integration.
• Technical Considerations: Ensure that data deletion is irreversible and complies with data protection regulations.
