3. Security & Accessibility Standards

Data Security Safeguards & Audit Logging

All deletion requests must be transmitted via TLS 1.3. Actions are securely logged (Timestamp, UserID, IP Address, Reason) in an immutable audit trail database for regulatory compliance. User PII is immediately scrubbed from active databases upon finalization.

Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA)

All buttons and inputs must have aria-labels. Error messages must be announced by screen readers (aria-live="assertive"). Minimum color contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for all text elements. Fully navigable via keyboard/switch access.

Post-Deletion Redirection

Clear local cache and tokens. Display a full-screen confirmation message for 3 seconds, then automatically redirect the user to the public welcome/login screen.

Success Criteria

Verify that 100% of users can complete the deletion process without navigation errors. Ensure all deletion reason inputs are successfully captured, encrypted, and stored securely in accordance with GDPR, CCPA, and PIPL data privacy regulations.
