DELETE/api/v1/account/delete

Permanently delete account (GDPR erasure)

Irreversible account deletion. Requires body {confirmation:'DELETE MY ACCOUNT'}. Flow: first call emails a confirmation token; re-send with the x-delete-confirmation-token header to verify, then a 24h grace period schedules deletion, and a final call after grace runs the atomic purge.

Authentication

Send Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY on every request. Generate API keys at /dashboard/settings/api-keys.

Parameters

x-delete-confirmation-token in header

Emailed confirmation token. Omit on the first call (token is sent to email); include it to confirm.
